Mission and Vision Statement
Dorothy's Virtual Wellness clinic's mission is to provide exceptional care to the obese and overweight population. The vision is to deliver specialized, integrated care for the obese population with high quality outcomes and a great patient experience.
OBESITY
Let's talk about it! What does more than one-third of the adults in the United States have in common? If you guessed obesity, then you got it correct. Obesity is defind by the Mayo Clinic as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Did you know that your odds of developing chronic disease such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and other cardiovascular disease risk factors increase with obesity. The good news is that the weight loss of approximately 5% to 10% of baseline body weight decreases the risk of diabetes in pre-diabetic patients by 58%. This also has a lowering effect on triglycerides and blood pressure levels. Obesity is typically exacerbated with age and more difficult to manage.
So the next question is what causes obesity. It is widely known that the intake of more calories than calories burned through a normal day causes weight gain and leads to obesity. Other components include hormonal influences and genetic. Lets break this down a little more.
1. Inactivity- sedentary lifestyle
2. Bad eating habits
3. Pregnancy
4. Medical problems
5. Getting less sleep than recommended
6. Certain medications

WEIGHT LOSS PLANS
Our medical weight‑loss program uses only FDA‑approved medications, including options these are prescribed only when a patient meets the required clinical criteria. Because these medications can be costly, patients must have insurance coverage for the medication or a plan to pay out‑of‑pocket before starting treatment. This ensures safe, appropriate, and sustainable weight‑loss care for every patient we serve.
