Weight-Related Conditions Considered at W8MD
Weight can affect many organ systems, while medical conditions, medications, sleep and life stage can also affect weight. W8MD evaluates the whole clinical context instead of treating a number on the scale.

How W8MD can help
W8MD considers the condition in the context of weight history, current medicines, nutrition, sleep, physical ability, prior attempts, preferences, coverage and cost. Treatment may include lifestyle care, medical nutrition support, prescription options and related sleep evaluation when appropriate.
Care coordination
W8MD weight management complements rather than replaces primary care or specialist treatment. Laboratory tests are individualized. Patients should not independently reduce glucose, blood-pressure, psychiatric, thyroid or other medicines as weight or food intake changes.
