Wants to lose weight, or their weight is hurting their health
Use when someone wants to lose weight, or their weight is causing problems like joint pain, trouble breathing, diabetes or high blood pressure, and they want a doctor, a group or low-cost exercise.
These are the same steps our staff use when they help someone. "They" means the person who needs help: you, or someone you are helping. Go in order, and call ahead when you can.
A doctor can check for diabetes, blood pressure, sleep apnea and thyroid problems. They can also talk about medicine or other weight treatments and refer to a dietitian.
