Millions of Americans struggle with obesity as it is a disease that is increasing across the country at an alarming rate. Statistics show that there is no state with an obesity rate of less than twenty percent with most Southern states ranking at closer to a fifty percent obesity rate. Obesity has become a public health crisis and brings with it other health issues such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, infertility, osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and sleep apnea. Extra weight has also been shown to increase the chances of more than forty kinds of cancer. The American Obesity Association along with former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop’s anti-obesity campaign have developed weight management guidelines to help outline the important aspects of working with obese patients that are effective and safe for the patient. These guidelines were reviewed and approved by leading obesity experts and major public health, nutrition, and medical organizations from around the country. The guidelines define obesity as a public health crisis that should be addressed through physician and healthcare provider intervention and treatment.
Carrington Medical Spa proudly follows the weight management guidelines set forth by the American Obesity Association as part of their comprehensive weight management plan to ensure patients receive the highest quality care that is both safe and effective and takes into account other health issues that may be present.
When asked to speak more on this topic, Dr. Liliya Slutsker, the founder of Carrington Medical Spa, said , “I have been working with obese patients in primary care for many years. It can be difficult, as a primary doctor, to adequately address the needs of patients in such a short time, especially those suffering from obesity. I felt compelled to open my medical spa to help patients learn the best strategies for managing their weight while working towards a healthier version of themselves. I am also a Diplomat in Obesity Medicine having passed the Board Exam in Obesity Medicine. With that knowledge and following the guidelines of the American Obesity Association, I ensure that I am offering my patients the latest and safest care to help them achieve their health goals.”
