Chronic Disease Management
Questions and Answers (Q & A)
Dr. José A. González's weight loss program is designed to help you achieve your goals safely, effectively, and under supervision. It includes:
- Complete medical evaluation and lab tests.
- Personalized meal plan based on your metabolism, tastes, and culture.
- Progress control with periodic monitoring.
- Medical treatments with semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) when indicated.
Medications are used as medical support to reduce appetite, improve satiety, and facilitate sustained weight loss. The goal is not only to lose weight, but also to improve metabolic health and prevent diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
In the United States, approximately 45% of Hispanic adults are obese, which increases their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.
However, studies have shown that losing just 5% to 10% of body weight can significantly improve blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol.
Dr. González uses a comprehensive medical approach based on scientific evidence to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, combining diet, physical activity, and medication when appropriate.
Both treatments have been extensively studied and approved by the FDA for weight loss:
- In clinical studies, most patients lose between 10% and 15% of their body weight in the first 6 to 12 months with semaglutide.
- With tirzepatide, average results may be even greater: up to 20% body weight loss at 72 weeks of treatment.
- Benefits include better appetite control, reduced cravings, and increased feelings of fullness.
Dr. González gradually adjusts the dosage and monitors your progress, helping you avoid side ef
During your first appointment, Dr. González will review your medical history, weight, blood pressure, and perform a complete evaluation. Depending on your case, he may order lab tests to measure glucose, cholesterol, liver, and kidney function.
With that information, they will design a personalized medical plan that may include:
- Changes in diet adapted to your culture and schedule.
- Strategies to improve metabolism and daily energy levels.
- Prescription of medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide (if appropriate).
- Monthly follow-up to adjust treatment and prevent weight rebound.
The goal is to achieve sustained, healthy weight loss, with medical and motivational support every step of the way.
In addition to weight loss, patients often notice:
- Improved blood sugar and blood pressure control.
- Less fatigue and more energy.
- Reduction in joint pain and inflammation.
- Increased self-esteem and overall well-being.
