Comprehensive Weight Loss Management with Dr. Richard Steslow

Dr. Richard Steslow approaches weight loss management with a personalized, evidence-based strategy tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals. Recognizing that weight loss is not a one-size-fits-all journey, Dr. Steslow utilizes a combination of effective medications, customized dietary plans, and strategic fasting techniques to help patients achieve sustainable results.

Medications can play a critical role in the weight loss process, particularly for patients struggling with metabolic resistance or underlying conditions such as insulin resistance and prediabetes. Dr. Steslow carefully selects and prescribes weight loss medications when they align with the patient’s specific health profile and objectives. He takes the time to explain the benefits and potential side effects, ensuring patients feel informed and confident in their treatment plan.

Diet is a cornerstone of Dr. Steslow’s weight loss management approach. With expertise in a variety of dietary strategies, including ketogenic, low-carb, Mediterranean, and plant-based diets, he collaborates with patients to develop an eating plan that fits their lifestyle and preferences while promoting metabolic health and fat loss. Dr. Steslow understands that adherence is key, so he emphasizes sustainable, real-world changes that patients can maintain long-term.

In addition to dietary adjustments, Dr. Steslow often incorporates intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating into his weight loss protocols. By guiding patients through different fasting methods, he helps them harness the benefits of improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced fat burning, and reduced inflammation.

Dr. Steslow’s integrative approach to weight loss combines sound nutrition, appropriate medications, and lifestyle changes, offering patients a comprehensive path to not only lose weight but also achieve better overall health. His compassionate, patient-centered care makes him a trusted partner in each individual’s weight loss journey.
