What is Obesity?

Obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease that has many factors at play including your brain, hormones, immune system, environment, behavior, and genetics.

When you have an increase in body fat, that increase promotes metabolic dysfunction as well as physical pain and mental health consequences. 

Obesity is a disease that can impact more than just your weight.

Obesity is associated with over 200 other medical conditions including insulin resistance, PCOS, infertility, hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, joint disease, and cancer.

You are not alone

According to the CDC from 1999–2000 through 2017–2018, the prevalence of obesity increased from 30.5% to 42.4%, and the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%

Who is considered to have Obesity?

Who is consider a candidate for medical weight management?

Anyone with a BMI > 30 or a BMI >27 with other chronic conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes

Here at West End Ob GYN we realize that weight gain and loss can be a difficult issue for you to control. We are excited to offer you a program to help you
through this journey in your life.

Take your first step to improve your health by joining our Nurse Practitioner, Brantley Holmes.

Brantley has her Certificate in Advanced Education in Obesity Medicine through the Obesity Medicine Association. Her approach to medical obesity management will be similar to that of other chronic diseases, like asthma or high blood pressure. Treatment is tailored to your needs and may look different than someone else in our program. Success is dependent on many factors, including genetics, other health conditions, medication use, and your personal goals for long-term treatment.
  
Brantley promises to provide compassionate care that is non-judgmental and sensitive to your needs. She is committed to your medical safety along this journey and will monitor your health accordingly. As a healthcare provider, Brantley will measure success not only by “pounds lost” but also by improvements in your laboratory work, vital signs, body composition, other chronic diseases, medical status, and quality of life.  

Obesity management includes weight loss and maintenance. We recognize this is a challenging, long-term endeavor. Along your journey, we will celebrate your successes and support you during difficult times.
