Medical Weight Loss Revolution

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 13, 2012 -- Dr. Michael Kaplan was a practicing internist when he decided several years ago to move his medical practice in a new direction. He is inspiring other primary-care physicians to switch over at least part of their practices to what he sees as the crux of physical health: the medical supervision of weight loss. Kaplan treats patients who were suffering from a roster of illnesses including heart disease and diabetes.

Using a physician’s approach to weight loss in his overweight patients, Kaplan began seeing major health improvements. Weight loss ought to be a doctor guided process, says Kaplan and should not be relegated to some commercial enterprise or fad diet. He explains in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal: “I’m trying to set the world straight that this is a disease, and doctors should be managing diseases. I don’t know of any diseases being managed by people with no medical background.”

Now, the idea is gaining momentum among primary-care physicians who see the validity of a doctor-managed weight loss program and are turning to Dr. Kaplan for training in the science of bariatric medicine. The program has caught on so rapidly that over the past six months Kaplan has shared his methods and trained doctors who have opened 60 centers in ten states.

Dr. Kaplan’s Center for Medical Weight Loss is garnering a great deal of media attention: from the Wall Street Journal and Time Out New York to appearances on CNBC and a health radio talk show. In which he will have a direct conversation with his listeners on weight loss issues and how to prevent weight gain. He will also share some weight loss tips that can be easily followed by any person.
