Weight Specialist in Woodridge, IL

Our approach to weight management is rooted in specialized, comprehensive care that goes beyond general advice. Unlike standard primary care settings, our weight management specialists focus on the complex factors that contribute to weight gain and obesity, including metabolism, hormones, genetics, psychological influences, and lifestyle habits. Our team is trained in advanced obesity medicine and bariatrics, allowing us to provide expert care using the latest evidence-based strategies.

When you choose Advanced Wellness Center, you receive a truly personalized plan designed around your unique needs. Our specialists utilize advanced assessments and tools to identify underlying challenges and then create tailored solutions that may include medical therapies, prescription medications, detailed nutrition counseling, behavioral interventions, and ongoing support to monitor your progress.

While general practitioners can provide valuable basic guidance on healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle changes, the team at Advanced Wellness Center offers a deeper level of expertise and intervention. We work closely with you to address complex cases of overweight and obesity that may not respond to standard approaches. Our goal is to support your long-term success and help you achieve sustainable, healthy weight loss using the most up-to-date medical and wellness resources available in Woodridge, IL.

Our experienced weight specialists are dedicated to helping you achieve sustainable weight loss and better health. A weight specialist—also known as an obesity medicine physician or bariatric specialist—has advanced training in managing weight through comprehensive medical evaluation, lifestyle support, and, when appropriate, medications or procedures.

You may benefit from working with our weight management team if you:
• Have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise without lasting success
• Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
• Have a BMI of 27 or higher and are experiencing weight-related health concerns such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, or high cholesterol

We also support individuals who are facing emotional challenges related to weight, such as low self-esteem or depression. If you are considering weight loss surgery or your primary care provider has recommended more specialized care, our team can provide guidance and a personalized treatment plan designed for your needs.

Our specialists will start by discussing your current health concerns, complete medical history, and any previous weight management efforts. We take time to learn about your eating habits, activity levels, sleep quality, and other lifestyle factors that may influence your weight and overall well-being.

As part of your evaluation, we will check your vital signs—including blood pressure and heart rate—and perform a detailed assessment of your body composition, such as measuring your height, weight, and waist circumference. This thorough approach helps us get a clear picture of your starting point.

We will also review your current medications and conduct a physical examination to screen for any underlying medical conditions that could impact your weight, including thyroid disorders, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances. If needed, we may recommend laboratory tests to further evaluate your metabolic health, cholesterol, blood sugar, and other important markers

We understand that managing your weight is a personal journey, and cost is an important consideration for many patients. The typical cost of seeing a weight management specialist can vary, depending on several factors such as the type of service, your insurance coverage, and any additional treatments or tests that may be recommended.

At our clinic, an initial consultation with one of our weight management specialists usually ranges from $100 to $300. This comprehensive visit includes a full evaluation of your medical history, current health concerns, and weight loss goals. Follow-up visits, which are essential for ongoing support and progress tracking, are generally less expensive—typically between $50 and $150 per session.

Insurance coverage can significantly impact your out-of-pocket expenses for weight management services. Many insurance plans do cover visits to weight specialists when obesity is documented as a medical condition or if you have related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. However, coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider to see if Advanced Wellness Center in Woodridge, IL is in-network and what your specific benefits include. Our staff is always available to help you verify your insurance coverage and explain your copays or deductibles.
