She successfully lost over 60 pounds and uses an individualized, metabolic approach to helping her patients achieve their own weight loss goals. Medically supervised weight loss programs are designed to address health issues that contribute to weight gain.

Who is a candidate for a weight loss program?
Candidates for a weight loss program are those who have a difficult time losing weight, even with regular exercise and a healthy diet. If you fall under this category, Katherine Johnson, FNP-C can curate an appropriate program for you. With advanced diagnostic testing and a thorough evaluation, she can identify any underlying concerns to help accelerate weight loss.

Will I need to exercise during my weight loss program?
In order to aid in your weight loss, it is strongly advised that you stick with a regular exercise regimen. Not only can exercise help with weight loss, but it is also optimal for your overall health, including heart and bone health. Talk with Katherine Johnson during your consultation if you have any concerns about exercise, such as a preexisting injury.

When can I expect to see results during my weight loss program?
Weight loss results can take time. However, if you follow your program effectively, you can expect to notice consistent changes over time. If your program is not proving to be effective for you, Katherine can make the necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
