Comprehensive Weight Management Programs To Help You Succeed
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most powerful investments you can make in lifelong wellness, yet it’s also one of the toughest goals to tackle alone.
At Katy Family Medicine & Urgent Care, we approach weight management as a medical partnership rather than a quick-fix diet.
Dr Ekong begins with a thorough health evaluation. This involves reviewing medical history, genetics, body-composition metrics, and key labs to understand how excess weight is affecting your metabolism, energy levels, and risk for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and sleep apnea.
Your Personalized Plan
From there, we craft a fully personalized plan that blends practical nutrition coaching with realistic activity targets you can sustain in everyday life. Instead of aggressive calorie cuts that trigger “starvation mode,” we focus on nourishing meals built around lean protein and smart carbohydrates that keep blood sugar stable and hunger in check.
We pair this with bite-sized movement goals such as several ten-minute walks or band workouts you can do while streaming your favorite show because consistency outweighs perfection when it comes to metabolic health.
Evidenced-Based Medical Therapies
For patients who need an extra nudge, Dr. Ekong may incorporate evidence-based medical therapies, including GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide), lipotropic B-complex injections, or other FDA-approved weight-loss medications.
Each prescription is monitored closely with follow-up visits or telemedicine check-ins to adjust dosage, track side effects, and celebrate milestones. When clinically appropriate, we also coordinate referrals for bariatric surgery and provide pre- and post-operative support to maximize long-term success.
Accountability and Encouragement
Most importantly, our program is built on accountability and encouragement. Regular check-ins, whether in-person or virtual allow us to troubleshoot plateaus, fine-tune nutrition, and reinforce the mindset shifts that turn short-term progress into lifelong habits.
If you’re ready to replace frustration with a proven, compassionate roadmap to a healthier weight, schedule a consultation with Katy Family Medicine & Urgent Care today.
