Medical Weight Loss Treatments
Medical weight loss treatments are clinically supervised programs through which individuals can achieve and maintain a healthy weight. At Riviera Medical Center, we perform medical evaluations to better learn about your body’s specific nutrition needs and thus proceed to make recommendations based on the insights. Some of the steps included in the programs are: counseling, exercise plans, behavioral therapy, or even medical interventions if necessary.
Our main focus is always our patients’ health, and subsequently to promote a sustainable weight loss program that emphasizes long-term lifestyle changes that can promote a healthier life. This is why we emphasize regular monitoring of your journey and offering empathetic support.
Behavioral Counseling
Behavioral counseling is a supportive process that focuses on helping individuals identify and modify unhealthy behaviors related to their health and lifestyle. This type of counseling is particularly beneficial for those seeking to make lasting changes, such as weight management, smoking cessation, or improving dietary habits. Trained counselors work collaboratively with clients to explore underlying motivations, barriers, and triggers that influence their behavior. By employing strategies like goal-setting, problem-solving, and cognitive restructuring, behavioral counseling empowers individuals to develop healthier habits and coping mechanisms. It fosters a supportive environment where clients can discuss challenges openly and receive guidance tailored to their unique circumstances. Regular sessions allow for ongoing monitoring of progress, reinforcement of positive changes, and adjustments to strategies as needed. Ultimately, behavioral counseling aims to promote long-term health improvements by equipping individuals with the tools and support necessary to succeed in their wellness journeys.

Monitoring and Follow-up
How many times have you started a diet on your own and have not followed through? Monitoring by a healthcare professional is a critical aspect of Riviera Medical Center’s weight loss program. The process involves regular check-ins to assess progress, discuss challenges, and make adjustments as necessary. By sticking to a flexible plan, you can rest easy that you’ll remain on track to achieve your healthy weight goals.
Exercise Recommendations
Exercise recommendations are tailored guidelines provided by healthcare or fitness professionals to help individuals achieve their health and fitness goals. These recommendations consider factors such as age, fitness level, medical history, and personal preferences to create a balanced exercise regimen. The aim is to promote cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and overall physical fitness. A well-rounded program may include aerobic activities, strength training, and flexibility exercises, along with advice on frequency, duration, and intensity. By customizing exercise recommendations, professionals can motivate individuals to engage in physical activity that aligns with their lifestyle, making it more enjoyable and sustainable. Regular follow-up and adjustments are often encouraged to ensure progress and address any challenges. Ultimately, effective exercise recommendations not only improve physical health but also enhance mental well-being, contributing to a holistic approach to health and fitness.

Personalized Diet Plans & Nutritional Counseling
Just like with exercise, every person has different nutritional needs. Our healthcare providers know that all too well, which is why they prepare diet plans that adjust to each patient’s lifestyle. No time to eat at midday? Don’t feel hungry in the morning? Hate vegetables? Riviera’s specialists will come up with a nutritious solution for you.
Apart from that, you will have follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of your program and make any necessary adjustments. Our goal? To promote weight management, enhance energy levels and support your overall health.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutritional counseling involves personalized guidance provided by registered dietitians or nutritionists to help individuals improve their eating habits and overall health. During counseling sessions, professionals assess the client’s dietary patterns, health goals, and nutritional needs, creating a tailored plan to address specific concerns, such as weight management, chronic disease prevention, or digestive health. The counseling process often includes education about food choices, portion control, meal planning, and the importance of balanced nutrition. By fostering a supportive and non-judgmental environment, nutritional counseling empowers clients to make informed decisions about their diet. Regular follow-ups allow for adjustments to the plan as needed, ensuring sustainability and long-term success. Overall, nutritional counseling aims to promote a healthier relationship with food, enhance well-being, and support individuals in achieving their health objectives through informed dietary choices.

Weight Loss Supplements
Weight loss supplements are products designed to aid individuals in their weight management efforts by promoting fat loss, enhancing metabolism, or reducing appetite. These supplements come in various forms, including pills, powders, and liquids, and may contain ingredients such as herbal extracts, vitamins, minerals, and other compounds. While some supplements claim to offer quick results, it is crucial for individuals to approach them with caution and consult healthcare professionals before use. Not all weight loss supplements are effective, and some may carry potential risks or side effects. When used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise, certain supplements may support weight loss goals, but they should not replace healthy lifestyle choices. Ultimately, successful weight management relies on a comprehensive approach that combines diet, exercise, and informed decision-making regarding supplements, emphasizing safety and efficacy in the pursuit of health objectives.
Weight Loss Supplements
Albeit somewhat demonized, weight loss supplements are specially designed to help individuals in their weight management efforts—and when monitored, they can be very effective. They come in various forms, including pills, powders, and liquids, and may contain herbal extracts (all natural) vitamins, minerals, or other compounds.
It is crucial that patients understand that they should, as the name implies, be a supplement to a comprehensive weight loss program, and not a replacement for any of the aspects of the program. Ultimately, at Riviera we believe that a comprehensive approach that combines diet, exercise, and informed decisions about supplements is the road to successful weight management.
