The Thrive! Weight Loss Management & Lifestyle Medicine program is a powerful non-drug treatment for patients who suffer from and struggle with excess weight.
Thrive! is a unique weight-loss program based on cognitive and behavior change. Personalized one-on-one sessions explore your individual food-related habits, challenges, thinking patterns and other lifestyle and medical factors that impact your weight. A customized plan will be jointly created together with you, identifying goals and practical strategies to help you achieve long-term weight-loss success.
Excess weight has become one of the leading contributors of chronic disease. At Grove Family Medical Associates we are strongly committed to health promotion and chronic disease prevention. We embrace a treatment approach that favors lifestyle change over medication intervention whenever possible. Outcomes of the program include prevention and/or reduction of weight-related diseases and associated complications, decreased medication use, and overall health improvement.
