Qsymia: New weight loss medication now available to Denver Residents

This is huge news for the medical weight loss community! For the first time in over 13 years, individuals needing help with life-long weight control have a new, clinically proven, scientifically valid treatment. Clinical trials lasting 2 years have demonstrated very good weight loss with Qsymia, averaging over 10%, with many patients losing 11 to 14% of their body weight (some lose substantially more than this).

Denver’s best dietitians

In my opinion, a person's best resource for a nutritional intervention is a Registered Dietitian ("Dietitian" is the preferred spelling over "Dietician"). Registered dietitians are Denver's food experts. They have undergone specific nutritional training to learn how to help people not only make the best dietary choices, but to implement behavior changes to turn these choices in to habits.
