Medical Weight Loss: A Metabolic Approach to Sustainable Results

Weight loss is not simply about eating less or exercising more. For many people, persistent weight gain is linked to metabolic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors that require medical evaluation and personalized care.

At Balbas Antiaging, our medical weight loss program is designed to address weight concerns at their root—supporting fat loss, preserving muscle, and restoring overall metabolic balance.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a physician-guided program focused on improving body composition and metabolic health rather than short-term calorie restriction.

Instead of generic diet plans, this approach evaluates how your body processes energy, stores fat, and responds to hormonal signals. The goal is to help your body function more efficiently, allowing weight reduction to occur in a safe, sustainable way.

The Balbas Difference: A 360° Metabolic Approach

Dr. Balbas applies a Metabolic 360° approach, which goes beyond nutrition alone. Each patient undergoes a comprehensive clinical evaluation to identify potential metabolic or hormonal barriers that may be preventing weight loss.

Depending on individual needs, the protocol may integrate supportive medical therapies—such as nutritional support or IV-based wellness therapies—to help maintain energy levels, reduce inflammation, and support healthy fat metabolism throughout the process.

This integrated strategy helps minimize the risk of rebound weight gain while improving overall vitality.

Key Benefits of a Medically Guided Weight Loss Program

Patients following a structured medical weight loss plan may experience:

• Reduction of excess body fat
• Improved metabolic efficiency and insulin sensitivity
• Preservation of muscle mass and strength
• Better energy levels and sleep quality
• Reduced chronic inflammation
• Improved long-term weight maintenance

The result is not only physical change, but a measurable improvement in health and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I feel hungry during the program?

The program is designed to nourish the body, not deprive it. By addressing metabolic balance and, when appropriate, using medical nutritional support, many patients experience improved satiety and stable energy levels.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies from person to person. The focus is on healthy, sustainable progress, with results depending on initial body composition, metabolic factors, and adherence to the protocol.

Are medications used for weight loss?

Nutrition and lifestyle optimization form the foundation of the program. After a full medical evaluation, Dr. Balbas may determine whether a patient is a candidate for advanced medical support or pharmacological options, always prioritizing safety and long-term health.

Clear Medical Guidelines and Safety Standards

To ensure safety and effectiveness, the program follows strict clinical guidelines:

• A full medical evaluation and laboratory analysis are required before starting
• Patient commitment and adherence are essential
• No unrealistic or unsafe weight loss promises are made
• Ongoing follow-up visits are mandatory

Weight loss is approached as a collaborative medical process, not a quick fix.
