Weight Loss With Medical Support

Studies show it’s easier to lose weight with help. At Mills-Peninsula Health Center at San Mateo, we offer nutrition counseling and a variety of weight loss classes and medically supervised programs to help you improve your health and reach your weight loss goals.

Our programs offer you the opportunity to:

  • Set a goal in consultation with a weight loss expert and achieve measurable weight loss.
  • Significantly reduce your risk of Type 2 diabetes.
  • Lower cholesterol and glucose levels, blood pressure and associated health risks.

Our programs feature medical monitoring, regular classes, private consultations with weight loss experts, support groups and training to break old habits and develop healthy, lifelong new routines. For more information, or to sign-up for a program, call (650) 696-4772.

During our individual nutrition counseling sessions, a registered dietician and certified diabetes educator provides nutrition and lifestyle analysis, along with a personalized eating plan to help manage multiple health conditions, including prediabetes, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, irritable bowel syndrome and kidney disease. Our Advantage in Weight Loss program is series of eight, one-on-one appointments with a registered dietician that is tailored to help you lose weight and develop a healthier lifestyle. Our programs are available for adults and children.

In addition to weight loss, past participants in our programs have seen significant improvements in health outcomes, including lowering high blood sugar and high triglycerides levels and reducing LDL (bad) cholesterol.

In some cases, your health plan may cover all or part of the costs of a formal weight management program. Check with your health plan for details.

Obesity Research

Sutter Health Obesity Research
More than a third of Americans are obese, which puts them at risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers. Obesity is also a cause of rising health costs in the U.S. Obesity means a person has 20 percent more body fat than what is healthy — a body mass index of 30 or more. Research into prevention and treatment is critical to improving the health of the nation.
