The Limitations of Willpower

If you've tried diet after diet only to regain the weight, you're not alone. Weight loss isn't just about willpower—it's about biology. Hormones, metabolism, appetite regulation, and even genetics all play crucial roles. Sometimes, your body needs medical support to overcome these biological barriers.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss programs use FDA-approved prescription medications combined with nutritional guidance and medical supervision to help you lose weight safely and effectively. At Family Health Center of Plainfield, we offer several medication options tailored to your specific needs.

Phentermine: Appetite Suppression

Phentermine is a stimulant that reduces appetite and increases energy. It's often prescribed short-term to jumpstart weight loss under close medical supervision.

Contrave: Targeting Cravings and Emotional Eating

Contrave combines bupropion and naltrexone to reduce hunger and cravings, especially for those who eat in response to stress or emotions. It works on brain pathways that control reward and appetite.

Qsymia: Dual-Action Support

Qsymia blends phentermine with topiramate for both appetite suppression and mood stabilization, making it effective for those who need support with both overeating and emotional triggers.

Comprehensive Support

These medications work best when combined with nutritional counseling, lifestyle changes, and regular follow-ups. Our team provides ongoing support to help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals.
