Integrative Weight Care
Center / No.10 / 6F

The older you get,
the less you should look at weight alone.

We are preparing integrative weight care for seniors, in which Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Neurology, Rehabilitation Medicine and Korean Medicine work together in the same building. Before the speed of weight loss, we look at underlying conditions, current medications, muscle strength and daily activity. The center’s opening and details will be announced once confirmed.

Common senior concerns

There is more to look at
than the change in weight.

We do not decide whether or how to lose weight from the number alone. We are preparing care that looks at your health and living situation together.

01My weight or waistline has changed with age
02I want my diabetes, blood pressure and other conditions considered too
03I worry about losing strength and daily function while losing weight
04I wonder whether my medications affect my weight
05I eat or move differently than I used to
06I need help with repeated weight loss and regain
What we look at

Before a weight-loss goal,
your health as it is now.

We review your medical history, medications, weight changes, strength and daily activity together, and the medical team decides what care and tests are needed.

01Review changes

We listen to how your weight has changed and why you came.

02Review health

We look at underlying conditions, current medications, usual activity and eating habits.

03Decide assessments

Whether further care or tests are needed depends on your individual condition.

04Discuss direction

Whether and how to lose weight is discussed with the medical team, considering your health.

05Follow progress

We are preparing to follow changes not only in weight but in strength and daily function.
