Lifestyle Support Q & A

What is lifestyle support?

Lifestyle support at MetFit-Rx involves health coaching and accountability that help you make significant lifestyle changes supporting weight loss and improved well-being. The experts at MetFit-Rx create personalized plans based on your needs, current lifestyle habits, and goals. They follow up regularly to maximize your results. 

Which habits can lifestyle support address?

The MetFit-Rx team assists you in creating lifestyle habit changes to feel better, manage a healthy weight, and minimize the risk of chronic diseases:

Exercise

Your weight loss provider completes VO2 max testing to assess your fitness level and create a personalized exercise plan that matches your physical ability, health history, weight goal, and body composition goals. It’s important to stay active daily during and after your weight loss journey. 

Diet

MetFit-Rx offers custom nutrition plans tailored to your health history, weight goals, and food preferences. These plans help you get the right balance of essential nutrients to optimize energy, avoid deficiencies, and achieve your ideal weight long term.

Sleep

Sleep plays a vital role in controlling appetite, balancing hormones, and keeping energy levels high. Your provider helps you overcome any challenges related to getting a good night’s sleep. Establish a regular sleep routine and aim to get 7-9 hours per night. 

Stress

Stress affects your hormones, appetite, and physical and mental well-being. If you struggle with ongoing or extreme stress, your MetFit-Rx provider offers ways to help. Examples include massage, yoga, tai chi, meditation, and deep breathing exercises. 

Other considerations

Avoiding tobacco products, limiting or avoiding alcohol, and staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water can enhance weight loss and your overall health.

Which clinical treatments complement lifestyle support?

MetFit-Rx combines lifestyle support with clinical treatments when necessary. The providers take a safety-first approach. Your specialist creates personalized treatments based on your initial medical consultation, which includes a metabolic evaluation and eligibility screening for weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide.

Pharmacy services at MetFit-Rx offer medication supply and shipping of compounded, medical-grade injections prepared and dispensed by a trusted Louisiana pharmacy. 

Routine lab monitoring helps you maintain optimal health while effectively managing any chronic diseases or risk factors. Follow-up care assists with the accountability needed for long-term success.
