Physician Supervised Medical Weight Loss
Over 70% of American adults struggle with being overweight or obese, putting them at higher risk for chronic disease. At StriveMD in Marvin, NC, our physician-supervised medical weight loss program offers personalized strategies to help you achieve sustainable success. Led by Dr. Julie Howson, a board-certified Obesity Medicine physician, we focus on long-term results — not quick fixes.
What Causes Weight Gain and Loss?
While many believe weight loss is just a matter of willpower or calories, the real story is more complex. Neurohormonal factors, genetics, metabolism, gut health, emotions, nutrition, and environment all influence your body’s ability to manage weight. At StriveMD, we help you address these root causes with medically backed strategies.
Personalized Medical Weight Loss Strategies
At StriveMD, we provide individualized medical weight loss strategies, offering dietary and exercise recommendations, behavioral modifications, and weight loss medication, including GLP-1 RAs. Our goal is to support your journey while educating and empowering you along the way.
What to Expect During Your Initial Visit
During your first consultation at StriveMD, we review your medical and weight history, nutrition, physical activity and behaviors. We perform advanced body composition analysis using the seca mBCA554 and may obtain baseline lab work to personalize your program and track progress over time. These tools provide measurable, motivating insights to optimize your health journey.
