MISHAWAKA, Ind. (May 17, 2021) — Saint Joseph Wellness & Weight Management (WWM) recently opened its new location to serve the health and wellness needs of Michiana. WWM’s team of physicians, nutritionists, and exercise professionals work with patients to develop customized medical weight-loss plans. These plans use meal replacements, medications, bariatric surgery, or a combination of all treatment options to help people lose weight and keep it off.
Studies have shown the average person gained 1.5 pounds per month during the COVID-19 pandemic. The WWM team will discuss how to lose pandemic pounds and how managing weight can help lower blood pressure, manage blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and offer relief from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), joint pain and sleep apnea.
Saint Joseph Wellness & Weight Managements is hosting a media-only open house on May 18, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Members of the WWM team will be available to discuss the importance of weight management and steps people can take to begin their weight loss journey. Availability is subject to change based on unforeseen circumstances.
