Crozer-Keystone
internal medicine physician Nancy Horvitz-Rist, M.D., recently established a
Center for Medical Weight Loss that offers men and women an individualized,
medically supervised approach to losing weight – and keeping it off.

Horvitz-Rist
sees weight-loss patients at Crozer Medical Plaza at Brinton Lake, 300
Evergreen Drive, Suite 150, in Glen Mills. 

Horvitz-Rist’s
Center is part of a national network of physicians bringing medical expertise
to the field of commercial weight loss. Originally founded by Michael S.
Kaplan, M.D., a nationally known specialist in bariatric medicine, the Center
for Medical Weight Loss offers clients a long-term weight loss approach managed
with the full support of a certified
medical professional.

Kaplan
said in a press release, “Excessive
weight needs to be treated as the disease that it is – medically. Unlike
leading consumer weight-loss programs whose staff require no medical knowledge
or training, Center for Medical Weight Loss physicians are certified
professionals. They fully understand the complex factors that are related to
weight gain – individual psychology, contributing illnesses, prescription
medication and the genetics of individual body composition.” 

The
Center’s program aims to help clients break food addictions and reach a healthy
target weight quickly while learning healthy habits that will help them to
maintain their weight loss
permanently. 

The
Center’s approach begins with a comprehensive consultation and measurement
process. “Whether clients are suffering from severe health issues due to excess
weight or are looking to lose 15-20 pounds for cosmetic reasons, all receive a
full medical consultation with detailed scientific measurement of their body
mass and basal metabolic rate,” Horvist-Rist said in the same relese. “The consultation and measurement
allows me to accurately predict weight loss results based on each client’s
individual body composition analysis.” 

Each
fully individualized program is supported with ongoing one-on-one care,
including nutrition, fitness, medication, behavioral modification and
counseling. This includes access to high-quality nutritional products only
available to physicians. Clients will also have access to the latest, FDA-approved weight loss medications.
