If we cared for ourselves the way we care for others... what would change?

Many people show deep compassion for others, while struggling to extend that same care inward. We explore how reframing health decisions through empathy - not discipline - can lead to lasting, meaningful change.

This is the kind of work we support every day.

“Do I have to be on this medication forever?”

It’s a fair question. And the answer depends.

Obesity is a chronic disease. It doesn’t go away just because the scale moves.

Some people will need medication long-term. Others, with enough support and environmental adjustments, may be able to step down.

No matter the path, it's not just about medication.

It's about taking a personalized, comprehensive approach to a chronic condition.

If the goal is long-term wellness, the plan has to go deeper than just a shot or a pill.

That’s what we do at Heartland Weight Loss.

The conversation around obesity is shifting from willpower to genetics. For some, that framing feels like relief. But it also replaces agency with helplessness - trading shame for powerlessness. This month, we’re exploring why neither extreme captures the truth.

It's about so more than numbers.

Energy, not willpower, is the real currency.

We see it every day. We want to make better choices, but feel depleted before the day really begins. The science backs this: mental energy is finite, and decision fatigue is real. Starting the day with intention can protect our capacity for the things that actually move health forward.

This is one way we support behavior change without relying on motivation.

Weight has been framed as an issue of willpower for far too long. For many of us, although we hate it, it becomes part of our identity - woven into how we see ourselves and others. Letting go of that story is difficult, but necessary. This month, we’re talking about why people suffering the most are often the first to challenge it.

Comparison can be comfortable - and dangerous.
Believing we’re doing better than average can keep us from taking action that could transform our health.
The goal isn’t to be better than most.
It’s to be our healthiest selves.

If you make a bunch of these at once and store them in microwavable containers, you can roll out a healthy breakfast in less than a minute every day of the week.

Change feels impossible when we can’t see the whole picture.
Once we understand what’s making it hard, the process still takes work - but we’re no longer powerless.

Our Story

Heartland Weight Loss is an insurance-based Obesity Medicine office run by a physician board-certified in Obesity Medicine. At Heartland Weight Loss, we are passionate about helping patients shed excess weight and improve health. We know that the disease of obesity is not simply caused by a discrepancy between calories consumed and calories burned. We have spent countless hours studying the complex process of weight regulation and have completed advanced training in the field of Obesity Medicine. There is no magic pill or secret gimmick that causes weight loss, but there is medical treatment based upon solid science. We tailor individual treatment plans using this science. In addition, we offer our patients education, accountability and support as they progress through the difficult journey of weight loss.
