Medically Managed Weight Loss in Rockville, MD

At Apha Health, we understand that weight management is a complex, multifaceted journey that requires more than just simple dietary changes and exercise. That's why we offer our medically managed weight loss program right here in Rockville, MD.


Why Medical Weight Loss?


Medically managed weight loss goes beyond the conventional methods of weight loss, which often include dieting and exercising. We tailor this program to each individual's unique health status and weight loss goals, which are established after a thorough medical evaluation. It's not just about losing weight, but about resetting your body's set point, leading to a long-term, sustainable change.


Unlike traditional methods that offer a one-size-fits-all solution, medical weight loss understands that each person's journey to weight loss is unique. It moves away from the simplistic calories in—calories out equation, instead taking into account factors such as genetics, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle, and underlying health conditions that can impact weight loss.


The goal is to offer a comprehensive, scientifically-backed approach to weight loss that not only helps you lose weight but also improves your overall well-being and health. It may also involve the use of Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) depending on your individual needs.


Don't wait to take control of your weight and health. Partner with Dr. Vera Ogembo and the dedicated team at Apha Health for your journey towards a healthier life. Contact us now to schedule your consultation.
