Schedule an AppointmentMedical Weight Management
Reaching and maintaining a healthier weight is rarely about willpower alone. Sleep, stress, medications, hormones, mental health, and underlying medical conditions can all influence weight — which is why many adults benefit from a medical evaluation rather than another generic diet plan.
At CJ Medical Center, Carlos Jimenez, DNP, PMHNP-C, ADHD-CCSP, FNP-C provides medical weight management for adults through telehealth visits. As a provider board-certified in both psychiatric-mental health and family practice, he evaluates the physical and behavioral factors that may be affecting your weight.
Your program begins with an individualized evaluation, so recommendations are based on your health history, current conditions, medications, and personal goals — not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Individualized Evaluation
Your initial visit is a comprehensive review of the factors that may be influencing your weight, including:
Health history
Medical conditions, past weight management efforts, family history, and relevant diagnoses.
Current medications
Some medications can contribute to weight changes. Your provider reviews what you are currently taking.
Lifestyle factors
Eating patterns, physical activity, sleep quality, and stress — all of which can affect weight.
Mental and behavioral health
Emotional eating, mood, and habits are considered as part of a complete picture.
Your goals
What you want to achieve, your timeline, and what has or has not worked for you before.
Appropriate next steps
Whether additional evaluation, lab work, or referrals may be helpful before treatment begins.
Health History and Goals
Tell your story
Share your weight history, previous attempts, and what challenges you have faced — without judgment.
Review contributing factors
Your provider examines the medical, behavioral, and lifestyle factors that may be involved.
Set realistic goals
Together you define achievable, health-focused goals rather than promises of a specific number on a scale.
Decide on a plan
If treatment is appropriate, you receive an individualized plan aligned with your evaluation.
Treatment Planning
Weight management at CJ Medical Center focuses on sustainable, medically informed strategies. Depending on your evaluation, your individualized plan may include the following components. None of these are mandatory for every patient — all treatment decisions are made by your provider based on your individual situation:
- Review of your health history and weight-related factors
- Nutrition and lifestyle guidance within the scope of your care plan
- Behavioral strategies for sustainable change
- Medication may be considered as part of an individualized plan when clinically appropriate and permitted by applicable regulations — prescriptions are not guaranteed
- Coordination with other healthcare providers when needed
- Regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust your plan
Lifestyle and Ongoing Support
Weight management is a process, not a single visit. Follow-up appointments allow your provider to track your progress, address challenges, review how you are responding to any treatment, and adjust your plan over time. If medication is ever part of your plan, regular follow-up is essential for safe monitoring.
