💙 Ever wondered why gastric bypass surgery works?
Dr. Hugh Houston explains it in simple terms: with a gastric bypass the stomach is made smaller and the intestines are rerouted to help reduce hunger, support portion control, and improve long-term weight management.
It is one of several effective options for patients who need a lasting, surgical approach to weight loss. At Nashville Weight Loss Solutions it is always paired with nutrition guidance and long-term support.

🚩 Detox teas? Dr. Hugh Houston says they’re not the answer.
Quick fixes may sound tempting, but they aren’t healthy or sustainable for long-term weight loss. Dr. Houston focuses on safe, proven strategies that truly support your goals…without the gimmicks.

🚗 Fast food doesn’t have to derail your goals.
Emily Crawford, our dietitian at Nashville Weight Loss Solutions, shares her top picks:
-Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets
-Salads with grilled chicken (once raw veggies are back in your plan)
-A burger wrapped in lettuce instead of bread (when you’re at that stage)
Her advice is simple: look for protein and vegetables first.
