Our goal is to improve lives by promoting healthy lifestyles. Our Weight Management Program uses one-on-one behavioral counseling and the prescription appetite suppressant, phentermine, to help our patients lose weight and develop the proper diet and exercise habits necessary to maintain that weight loss, without having to struggle against hunger.
With its emphasis on long-term progress and the use of a powerful prescription appetite suppressant, our program should be considered only by the significantly overweight who have failed multiple diet attempts. It is not appropriate for those seeking only modest weight loss for cosmetic reasons. A Better Way Health Center is dedicated to helping you lose weight in the healthiest way possible without hunger.
