Pediatric Weight Loss Program with Take Care DPC and GLP-1 Medication
Building Healthier Futures for Kids, Together
Childhood obesity is a growing concern worldwide, with serious health implications such as diabetes, heart disease, and psychological issues.
Take Care Direct Primary Care (DPC) recognizes the urgent need to address pediatric obesity comprehensively.
For some children grappling with obesity, lifestyle adjustments alone may prove insufficient in achieving substantial weight loss. This is where GLP-1 medications can play a pivotal role in providing additional support and effectiveness.
Our Pediatric Weight Loss Program Approach
At Take Care DPC, our pediatric weight loss program begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the child's medical history, current health status, and lifestyle factors.
Our pediatric weight loss program combines evidence-based interventions with personalized care to support children and their families in achieving sustainable weight loss and improved overall health. One such intervention we employ is the use of GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medication, which has shown promise in treating pediatric obesity.
BENEFITS
BENEFITS OF GLP-1 MEDICATIONS IN PEDIATRIC OBESITY
Help regulate blood sugar levels
GLP-1 medications can help regulate blood sugar levels, which is particularly beneficial for children with obesity-related insulin resistance.
Reduce appetite
GLP-1 medications help reduce appetite and food cravings, making it easier for children to adhere to a calorie-controlled diet.
Promote feelings of fullness
GLP-1 medication increases hormones in the gut that signal fullness to the brain, helping children feel satisfied after meals and reducing cravings between them.
Monitoring and Support
Throughout the pediatric weight loss journey, our medical team closely monitors the child's progress, adjusts treatment plans as needed, and provides ongoing support and encouragement to both the child and their family.
Regular follow-up appointments allow us to track weight changes, assess medication efficacy, address any concerns, and celebrate achievements.
