Weight Loss Management

Transform Your Health: Expert Weight Loss Management in Wilmington

Lose Weight Safely – with Medical Support Every Step of the Way

A More Supportive, More Informed Approach to Weight Loss

If weight loss were simply about eating less or trying harder, it wouldn’t feel this discouraging. Many people follow plans, track food, and exercise consistently, yet still struggle to see results.

At Lotus Center of Health, our role is to guide you toward sustainable weight loss by understanding how your body works and creating a plan designed around you. It’s not a generic program.

What You’ll Get

Personalized medical guidance

Clear data beyond the scale

Ongoing accountability and support

Why Weight Loss Feels Complicated

Weight gain and stalled progress are often influenced by factors the scale can’t show, including metabolism, muscle mass, hormones, and blood sugar patterns. That’s why repeating diet attempts rarely leads to lasting success.

Real progress starts with clarity.

You’re Not Starting from Scratch – You’re Starting with Support

Most people don’t struggle with weight loss because they haven’t tried hard enough. In fact, many patients try seven or more diets before finding one that works.

Weight loss becomes more successful when it’s guided, personalized, and medically supported.

Simple Package Options to Help You Get Started

To make getting started easier, Lotus Center of Health offers focused visit packages that provide guidance, accountability, and momentum as you begin your weight-loss journey.

3-Visit Package - $125
5-Visit Package - $200

Ideal for patients looking for an initial jump-start with medical guidance and clear direction.

Designed for patients who want more consistent support, follow-up, and accountability as they work toward lasting results.

Why This Matters

Weight loss success isn’t about finding the next diet – it’s about having the right support at the right time.
With medical insight, body composition tracking, and ongoing guidance, progress becomes clearer and more sustainable.

How We Help

Our weight loss management program focuses on medical insight, body awareness, and ongoing support-so you’re not left guessing.
Medication Management
For some patients, prescription support can be helpful.
We evaluate whether medications such as GLP-1 injectables or oral weight loss medications are appropriate for you and monitor their use carefully as part of a comprehensive plan.
Lifestyle Integration
Weight loss has to work in real life. We support practical tools such as food logging apps, continuous glucose monitoring when appropriate, and referrals to registered dietitians to help align daily habits with your goals.
Body Composition Analysis
We use the InBody 270 to look beyond the scale. This scan measures fat and muscle in different areas of the body, helping us track real progress over time-even when the number on the scale doesn’t change. Many patients appreciate seeing changes. It’s similar to how athletes track performance.
Support for Specialized Needs
We regularly help patients navigate weight challenges related to PCOS, perimenopause and menopause, postpartum changes, and other hormonally influenced conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss in Wilmington, NC

What makes medical weight loss different from dieting?
Medical weight loss focuses on how your body responds to food, activity, hormones, and metabolism. Instead of repeating diets, we use medical insight and data to guide sustainable change.

When appropriate, GLP-1 injectables or oral medications may be part of a broader weight loss plan. These are never used alone and are carefully monitored by our medical team.
