Weight Loss in Myrtle Beach

A Personalized Approach to Weight Loss That Works

At Unity Health in Myrtle Beach, we understand that weight loss is not one-size-fits-all. If you’ve tried countless diets or exercise plans without lasting success, you’re not alone. Weight loss is deeply connected to your hormones, metabolism, and overall health — and that’s why our approach goes beyond calorie counting.

Our medical weight loss program combines functional medicine, advanced therapies, and personalized lifestyle plans to help you shed weight safely, improve energy, and reduce risk of chronic disease. Dr. Almog Gal and our team work closely with each patient to uncover the root causes of weight struggles and design a sustainable plan for long-term results.

How Medical Weight Loss Works

Unlike generic diets or fad programs, our medical weight loss plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including:

• Detailed health history and lifestyle review

• Lab testing for hormones, thyroid function, and metabolic markers

• Personalized nutrition and fitness recommendations

• Access to advanced weight loss therapies when needed

Depending on your unique needs, your plan may include:

• Prescription medications or peptide therapy to regulate appetite and metabolism

• Hormone optimization if imbalances are interfering with weight loss

• Ongoing coaching and support for lifestyle changes

• Regular follow-ups and lab monitoring to track progress and make adjustments

The result? A weight loss program that’s safe, evidence-based, and designed for your body.
