About Weight Loss Programs
Weight loss programs at KMHCS focus on the lifestyle, follow-up, and maintenance side of weight management. Visits may include nutrition-pattern review, activity planning, sleep and stress discussion, behavioral support or psychotherapy referral when appropriate, medical screening, and follow-up planning. Patients who primarily want GLP-1 medication questions such as Wegovy® or Zepbound® reviewed should use the medical weight loss consultation page as the better match.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for a weight loss program?
A program may fit patients who want structured support around nutrition, activity, habits, weight-related health risks, and follow-up. Candidacy depends on medical history, goals, mobility, medications, labs when needed, and whether another type of care is more appropriate.
How is this different from medical weight loss?
This page focuses on lifestyle planning, follow-up, and maintenance. The medical weight loss page is the better fit when the main question is prescription medication review, including GLP-1 options such as Wegovy® or Zepbound® when clinically appropriate.
Do I have to take medication for Weight Loss Programs?
No. Weight loss programs can focus on nutrition guidance, activity planning, sleep, stress, behavior support, psychotherapy referral when appropriate, and metabolic health. Medication questions can be reviewed separately when clinically appropriate.
How often are follow-up visits needed?
Follow-up timing depends on goals, health history, barriers, labs, medication questions if any, and how much monitoring is needed. The clinic can review a realistic schedule during the first visit.
What happens after I lose weight?
Maintenance planning is part of the program. Visits can review long-term habits, weight-regain triggers, activity changes, nutrition patterns, and whether ongoing medical follow-up is needed.
Will insurance cover it?
Coverage varies by insurance plan, diagnosis, benefits, visit type, labs, and medical necessity. Please contact the clinic so the team can help verify your specific benefits before your visit.
