Obesity & Weight Loss Q & A

How does obesity impact my health?

Being obese or overweight can significantly impact your health and increase your risk for many severe health conditions. Obesity is an excess of body fat or a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. BMI is a measurement Dr. Chavez uses to determine a healthy range for weight based on your height and current weight.

Obesity is a leading risk factor for conditions such as:

Type 2 diabetes
Heart disease
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Kidney disease
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD)
Stroke and blood clots
Nonhealing wounds

If you’re overweight or obese, you need personalized support to improve your overall wellness. As your MDVIP-affiliated physician, Dr. Chavez makes lowering your risk factors a top priority, helping you improve your health through a healthy weight-loss plan.

How can weight loss improve my health?
