Lifestyle treatment
The Lifestyle Clinic is open to individuals who are overweight
and committed to losing weight and changing their lifestyle.
There are many health problems associated with being overweight
such as high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease and
infertility.
Losing weight and making lifestyle changes can help protect
against these medical problems or even slow down their progression.
