Ohio State Can Help You Improve Your Life
Are you tired of diets that don't seem to work? Do you lack the motivation to exercise as much as you should? Whether you’ve been battling weight gain for years or you simply need to shed a few pounds, Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has the program that can be tailored to meet your needs.
For more than 20 years, Ohio State’s Comprehensive Weight Management Program has produced results that rank above the National Institutes of Health expected weight loss average. Our success is established by offering a complete health and wellness approach to weight management.
One of the key differences between our program and other diet or exercise plans is our focus on changing lifestyle behaviors, rather than just the number on the scale. Weight loss and a healthier lifestyle will not only help you feel better, but can help prevent chronic health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. Our experts will provide education on all aspects of a healthier lifestyle – including nutrition, behavior change and exercise.
