If you’re questioning whether you should seek professional support for weight management, Triad Primary Care is here to help. Several important signs indicate it may be time to consider a medical weight loss program with our experienced primary care team. One key indicator is if you have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise on your own but haven’t achieved the results you want—or if you’ve experienced repeated cycles of losing and regaining weight (yo-yo dieting). Additionally, if your weight is contributing to or worsening chronic health conditions, we can provide targeted, compassionate care to help you manage these issues.
If you’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath with minimal activity, or physical discomfort due to your weight, it’s a sign that medical intervention may be helpful. You should also consider seeking medical guidance if your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher, or if your BMI is 27 or greater and you have obesity-related health concerns. At Triad Primary Care, we understand that emotional and psychological factors—such as depression, anxiety, or eating disorders—can make weight management more challenging. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or discouraged or notice that your weight is impacting your mental health, we offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary support tailored to your needs.
Our providers can also help if you’re interested in exploring prescription weight loss medications or considering bariatric surgery. Our team will evaluate your unique situation and guide you through your options with expert, evidence-based recommendations. Ultimately, if your weight is negatively affecting your physical health, quality of life, or emotional well-being, and you’re not sure where to turn, our team offers individualized, compassionate care. We are committed to supporting you on your journey to better health, every step of the way.
We understand that successful weight management requires more than just general advice about diet and exercise. Our medical weight loss program offers a comprehensive and personalized approach, led by our dedicated team of healthcare professionals who collaborate to support your unique health journey. When you choose Triad Primary Care for medical weight loss, you’ll receive a thorough evaluation that goes beyond the scale. Our specialists carefully review your medical history, assess your overall health, and screen for underlying conditions—such as thyroid disorders or hormonal imbalances—that could be impacting your weight. This ensures that every aspect of your health is considered when developing your individualized plan.
Your custom weight loss program may include:
• Nutritional Counseling: Our dietitians provide practical advice on healthy eating, portion control, and making food choices tailored to your preferences and medical needs.
• Exercise Recommendations: We design physical activity plans that are safe and effective for your fitness level and any existing health concerns.
• Medication Management: If appropriate, our providers can prescribe FDA-approved medications to aid weight loss, closely monitoring your progress and safety throughout the process.
• Behavioral Support: We address the emotional and psychological aspects of weight management, offering counseling and support to help you overcome challenges such as stress or emotional eating.
What truly sets Triad Primary Care apart is our commitment to ongoing support. Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor your progress, fine-tune your plan, and help you navigate any obstacles or plateaus. Our structured, medically supervised environment not only increases your chances of achieving your weight loss goals but also helps reduce health risks associated with obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Absolutely! At Triad Primary Care, we welcome patients with all types of weight management goals—even if you’re looking to lose just a few pounds. Our medical weight loss programs are designed to support individuals who want to improve their health, regardless of how much weight they want to lose. Many people find it difficult to shed those last few pounds, especially when underlying medical conditions or lifestyle factors make weight management more challenging. Our experienced healthcare providers offer personalized assessments, nutritional counseling, behavioral support, and ongoing medical supervision. We tailor our approach to your unique needs, helping you set realistic goals and develop a safe, effective weight loss plan that fits your lifestyle.
Our primary focus is your overall health and well-being.

Together, we’ll determine the best approach for your specific needs and help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
We understand that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is about more than just willpower—it’s about having the right support, tools, and medical guidance. Our medical weight loss program offers comprehensive, individualized care designed to help you reach your health and wellness goals safely and effectively. When you begin your weight loss journey with Triad Primary Care, your first step is a thorough assessment by our experienced providers. This includes a detailed review of your medical history, a physical examination, lab testing as needed, and a discussion about your lifestyle habits and personal goals. Using this information, our team will create a personalized weight loss plan tailored specifically for you—taking into account any underlying health conditions or challenges you may face.
Our approach emphasizes ongoing support and monitoring. You’ll have regular follow-up appointments with our healthcare professionals, who will track your progress, answer your questions, and adjust your plan as your needs change. Nutritional counseling is a key part of our program. We’ll help you develop healthy eating habits, understand portion control, and make smarter food choices that fit your lifestyle. That’s why our team offers behavioral support to help you overcome emotional and psychological barriers. Our team can connect you with counselors who specialize in behavior modification, stress management, and strategies for long-term success. Group support sessions may also be available, allowing you to share experiences and encouragement with others on a similar journey.
For some patients, we may recommend FDA-approved weight loss medications, always closely monitored by our providers. If appropriate, we can also discuss surgical options and help you determine the safest, most effective course of action.
