Medical Weight Loss In New York

Weight loss is challenging because many factors affect your weight. Most medical weight loss programs focus on diet and exercise. While both are important, they may not be enough to help you lose weight and keep it off.

Factors affecting your weight include:

• Genetics
• Medical history
• Medications
• Cultural habits
• Age
• Where you live and work
• Sleep habits
• Stress

At Floral Park Medical, P.C., Dr. Pandya takes an individualized approach to your health and weight loss. He understands the various factors that influence weight and customizes a medical plan that addresses these issues, helping you reach your weight goals.

Weight loss benefits your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. At Floral Park Medical, P.C., and Cross Island Medical in Floral Park and Jackson Heights, NY, we focus on wellness and preventive health care. Your weight is a risk factor for many chronic health conditions that affect adults. Losing weight can prevent these chronic conditions and improve your quality of life. Losing as little as 5% of your current weight can:

• Lower your blood sugar or blood pressure
• Decrease high cholesterol
• Ease joint pain
• Improve sleep
• Lower your risk of developing diabetes or heart disease

Weight loss can also improve your mood and ease symptoms of depression or anxiety.
