Do you want to lose weight? Improve your health?

For many people, losing weight and keeping it off is impossible to accomplish on their own. There are many individual reasons why people gain weight, in spite of diet and exercise. That is why at Atlanta Medical Institute we have several weight loss programs designed to help you meet your goals. Whether you want to lose weight, maintain weight, or reduce your risk of weight-related diseases, we can design a program for you.

The team at Atlanta Medical Institute knows that being overweight or obese is a treatable medical condition - similar to having high blood pressure or asthma. Our program consists of a combination of the best FDA-approved weight loss medications, nutraceuticals, supplements, meal plans, lifestyle and nutrition counseling, detoxification, and stress reduction techniques to obtain superior, long lasting results. We are a team of specially trained physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician's assistants who specialize in weight loss and weight-related diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome.

The Physician-Supervised, FDA-approved Weight Loss Program

There are several important steps you take while at Atlanta Medical institute as our patient. Based upon lab tests, physical exams, questionnaires, and your specific goals, our physicians will prescribe the exact program your body needs. Some of the programs we provide are:

Weight Loss Injections

Hormone Replacement

Medically Supervised Appetite Suppressants

Metabolic Calorie Count

Body Fat Analysis

Detoxification

Nutraceuticals (Natural)

Behavior Coaching

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Aging, chemical stress, medication, and even our drinking water can all negatively impact our body's natural hormonal balance. When imbalances occur, they can affect many bodily processes and cause weight gain. As part of our weight loss program, we evaluate if your hormones might be a factor of your weight, and can help diagnose and treat these imbalances to maximize your weight loss.

Stress Reduction Programs

Finances, career, family, relationships...all of these things can cause stress. But, did you know that things like processed foods, chemicals, and even sleep patterns can create stress as well?

Stress, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional, contributes to cellular aging and can negatively impact our immune system and normal metabolism. Every day we are bombarded with stressors. The goal of our stress reduction programs is to create a state of homeostasis in the body. Homeostasis is when your body is inwardly balanced and can maintain that state of physiological balance, even when exposed to stressors. Organs such as the liver, brain, nervous system, and endocrine system all contribute to creating a state of homeostasis. When these organs are not functioning properly, it can lead to disease, aging, and weight gain.

Fitness and Nutrition Counseling

Our bodies all differ. No single exercise and diet plan is right for everyone. While one person may do well with a higher carbohydrate diet, someone else might require more protein to feel satisfied. At AMI, our goal isn't to impose a belief system or have you follow a particular diet or exercise plan. Our goal is to teach you the basics of a healthy nutrition and exercise program so that your understanding helps you make the right choices each day. To help determine what type of foods and exercises may work best for you, AMI use highly trained specialists in the field of exercise and nutrition. Our professionals help identify which foods and food combinations are right for your unique metabolism, and which exercise programs will accomplish the results you seek. By tending to your specific metabolic needs while applying the basic principles of good nutrition and exercise, you will maintain proper weight, feel energized, and improve your overall health and quality of life!

Lifestyle Coaching

Losing weight isn't a quick fix. It requires support, guidance, and motivation to change your lifestyle and achieve your goals. At AMI, our professional health coach is trained in program development to meet your needs as an individual.

AMI's Focus is on the Patient

• Understanding the impact of lifestyle choices on your health and the benefits of change
