Obesity continues to rise at an alarming rate in the United States and is linked to many serious health conditions, including some of the leading causes of preventable death. At Rejuvime, we offer weight loss medications at our clinics in Baton Rouge, the New Orleans area, and other locations across Louisiana and Mississippi to help patients manage obesity more effectively.
According to U.S. News & World Report, Mississippi and Louisiana rank third and fourth in the nation for highest obesity rates..
Health Consequences of Obesity
In 2023, 42% of the adult population in the U.S. were obese, according to Trust for America’s Health. These individuals are at greater risk for life-threatening health concerns, including:
- Heart disease
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Stroke
- Arthritis
- Sleep apnea
- Certain types of cancer
Over the past two decades, obesity rates have climbed for all population groups, making this one of the most serious health crises facing our country.
How is Obesity Defined?
Generally, doctors and nutritionists classify people as either underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese. These different classifications are determined by your body mass index (BMI), or a measure of body fat based on your height and weight. However, BMI is not a perfect measurement for all people, and Rejuvime Medical doesn’t rely on BMI to determine if you are a candidate for treatment.

Why is Obesity Increasing?
The reasons for what some call an obesity epidemic are complex. Ultimately, weight gain results from consuming more calories than you burn. Unhealthy diets that include fast and highly processed foods combined with a lack of physical activity are certainly contributing factors. Poor sleep habits and stress are also linked to poor nutrition, overeating, and obesity. Hormonal changes associated with aging can also lead to a sluggish metabolism, low energy, and weight gain.
Weight Loss Treatments
Battling obesity is challenging, but the mental and physical benefits of losing weight are worth the effort. Combining lifestyle changes such as regular exercise with prescription weight loss medications, including GLP-1 therapies, can help you lose significant weight and maintain a lower BMI.
Rejuvime Medical also prescribes Wegovy® (semaglutide) and Zepbound® (tirzepatide). The FDA has approved both drugs for chronic weight management for people diagnosed as obese or who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol). These medications are most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
