A Personalized Approach to Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about finding a sustainable path that aligns with your lifestyle, health history, and personal goals. At Avalon Primary Care, we understand that weight loss is a deeply personal journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way with a compassionate, individualized approach. Whether you’re working toward lowering your risk of chronic disease or simply aiming to feel stronger and healthier, our evidence-based strategies are designed to help you succeed—long-term.
Our team includes Bre’Ana Strong, MSN, AGNP-PC, who specializes in medical weight loss. With training in the latest tools and therapies, she offers guidance tailored to your unique needs, backed by clinical expertise and a genuine commitment to your well-being.
More Than a Number on the Scale
We recognize that weight loss isn’t just about appearance—it’s about improving quality of life. Excess weight can affect everything from energy levels and mobility to blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity. Our providers approach weight loss as a medical issue, not a matter of willpower, and we offer practical, supportive care for:
- Obesity and overweight management
- Metabolic syndrome
- Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
- Cardiovascular risk reduction
- Joint pain and reduced mobility
Your care plan will reflect your unique challenges and health goals. We don’t follow a cookie-cutter program—instead, we build a personalized path based on your body, your lifestyle, and what motivates you.
Today’s Medical Weight Loss Tools: What’s Right for You?
We offer access to the most current and effective medical options, including GLP-1 receptor agonists—one of the most talked-about categories in weight management today. Medications like Ozempic® (semaglutide), Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) have shown significant success in helping eligible patients lose weight, manage cravings, and regulate blood sugar. When appropriate, we may recommend these medications as part of a broader, supervised treatment plan.
Your provider will evaluate whether these medications are right for you based on your medical history, current health conditions, and weight loss goals. We also monitor progress closely to ensure safety, effectiveness, and long-term success.
Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Behavior Change Support
Medications can be helpful—but sustainable weight loss also depends on healthy habits. Our approach combines clinical treatment with practical support in areas like:
- Meal planning and balanced nutrition
- Physical activity that fits your routine and limitations
- Sleep, stress management, and emotional eating awareness
- Ongoing goal-setting and progress tracking
Our nurse practitioner will work closely with you to identify obstacles and create realistic strategies to overcome them. If needed, we can also coordinate with registered dietitians, behavioral health specialists, or fitness coaches for additional support.
When to Consider Surgical Options
For some individuals, especially those with significant obesity and related medical conditions, bariatric surgery may be the most effective long-term option. At Avalon, we do not perform surgical weight loss procedures on-site—but we are happy to refer you to trusted specialists if this becomes the right path for you. Our role is to guide you through the decision-making process with honesty, medical insight, and full support. And we’ll remain involved in your care before and after surgery to ensure continuity and successful follow-up.
