Science-based weight loss program that delivers reliable results.
One of the greatest challenges to the Australian healthcare system is overweight and obesity. According to the data published by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, about two thirds of Australian adults and one quarter of Australian children are overweight or obese.
The data shows a doubling of surgical treatments such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass over the past decade.
Unfortunately, surgical treatments for weight loss do not often have long-lasting results and many patients opt for revision surgeries. This is mainly because surgery does not address the underlying cause of their obesity, that is, lifestyle and dietary choices.
At LifeMed, we adopt lifestyle medicine interventions to assist you with long-term and sustainable weight management.
