Obesity is a complex issue with many contributing factors, including genetics, diet, physical activity, and environmental effects. While obesity is most commonly influenced by lifestyle factors such as diet and physical activity, there are some medical conditions and medications that can contribute to or exacerbate weight gain. Medical conditions that may cause or worsen obesity include hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), depression and anxiety, insomnia, diabetes (particularly type II), injuries or mobility issues, and a genetic predisposition.

Obesity in turn increases a person's risk of various health issues, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, and musculoskeletal problems.

Obesity and weight loss visits at Paloma Primary Care include a full discussion of current weight, weight loss goals, a diet/exercise regimen, strategies for weight loss and recommendations for testing for potential causes like hypothyroidism. We will also discuss and potentially prescribe medications for weight loss (oral and injections) depending on the patient’s current weight, their weight loss goals, and the presence of any coexisting medical conditions.

We do prescribe Ozempic/Wegovy (Semaglutide) for weight loss. Give us a call or send a message for more information. We look forward to helping you reach your goals!
