Obesity is more than a cosmetic concern; it’s a complex health condition that increases the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and other serious issues. At Total Health Primary Care in Selma, TX, Dr. Anthony Wright and Dr. Gloria Wright take a comprehensive approach to obesity, combining preventive strategies, medical management, and holistic therapies to support long-term wellness.
Understanding the Root Causes
Many factors, such as bad eating habits, lack of physical activity, hormonal imbalance, heredity, and psychological stress, may cause obesity. We do not follow a one-size-fits-all philosophy at Total Health Primary Care. Our team instead investigates the underlying causes of weight gain in each patient and coordinates care accordingly.
Medical and Preventive Support
Conquering obesity begins with understanding your current situation. Through thorough exams and preventive tests, we assess cardiovascular risk, blood sugar levels, metabolic health, and other key factors. We then collaborate with you to create a customized care plan that may consist of:
- Nutritional counseling and goal setting
- Prescription medications (when appropriate)
- Lifestyle coaching and fitness guidance
- Ongoing lab work to monitor progress
We also provide patient education that empowers you to make informed, sustainable choices for your health, rather than relying on quick fixes.
Integrating Holistic Therapies
For patients who prefer a more natural approach, Total Health Primary Care offers acupuncture and other alternative therapies in addition to traditional medical care. Acupuncture can aid in weight loss by reducing hunger, improving digestion, balancing hormones, and alleviating the underlying causes of stress or emotional eating.
Our holistic approach enriches conventional medicine by cultivating the whole individual, mind, and body.
