Weight is about more than willpower.
Genetics, hormones, sleep, stress and some medications all affect weight. Medical weight management pairs a doctor's guidance with treatment options when they're appropriate, and keeps an eye on how it's going over time.

- Some medications
What a doctor may discuss
