Description:
Welcome to W8MD Weight Loss Centers of America. Did you know that 1 in 3 people have insulin resistance or are considered “pre” diabetic which could be the main reason that people are overweight? Losing just 5-10% of your weight will help you reduce risks of heart attacks, diabetes and even some cancers. Under the direction of Dr. Prab Tumpati, W8MD Weight Loss Centers was founded a year ago because of his passion to overcome obesity and to make a difference. Dr. Tumpati has passed a written board examination in the field of Bariatric Medicine and is also Board Certified in Sleep Medicine and Internal Medicine. The doctor’s of W8MD partner with each patient to develop a custom weight management program to best meet their individual needs taking into account their medical history, lifestyle and goals. Since weight and sleep go together, most of the W8MD centers are able to address sleep issues such as snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia and restless leg syndrome to name a few. And the best part of the program is that most insurance’s cover the doctor visits. Check out our website at www.w8md.com to learn more about us. If you have a little or a lot of weight to lose and want to do it without surgery, set up fees and mandatory meal replacements or appetite suppressants, think W8MD for weight loss. And, if you are a physician, with an interest in helping your obese or overweight patients, and would like to add a W8MD program at your office, please feel free to contact us.

Introduction

Two-thirds or more than 190 million Americans, are overweight or obese.

Obesity-related diseases are a $147 billion dollar medical burden every year.

Childhood obesity tripled in the last thirty years. Rates of adult obesity now exceed 20 percent in 49

states and D.C and 25 percent in 40 states. In 1991, rates did not exceed 20 percent in a single state.

Approximately 25 million U.S. children are obese or overweight. Rates of childhood obesity have more than tripled since 1980.

Health Consequences

Obesity and physical inactivity are risk factors in more than 20 chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some forms of cancer.

More than 20 million American adults have type 2 diabetes, and 54 million more are pre-diabetic.

One in every three Americans has metabolic syndrome.

Two million adolescents have pre-diabetes.

Page 4: W8MD Medical Weight Loss Centers Of America Weight Loss Program

Health Consequences

More than 75 percent of hypertension cases can be attributed to obesity

Estimates show that excess body fat is linked to 49 percent of endometrial cancers, 35 percent of esophageal cancers, 28 percent of pancreatic cancers, 24 percent of kidney cancers, 21 percent of gallbladder cancers, 17 percent of breast cancers, and nine percent of colorectal cancers.

Obesity increases a child’s risk for a range of health problems and negatively impacts mental health and school performance.

High Costs

Obesity-related medical costs are nearly 10 percent of all annual medical spending.

Obesity is associated with lower productivity at work, costing employers $506 per obese worker per year.

As an individual’s Body Mass Index (BMI) increases, so do the number of sick days, medical claims, and health care costs associated with that person.

Alarming Trends

Over 23 percent of American adults report that they do not engage in any physical activity.

Only 56 percent of high school students had a physical education class at least once a week, and only 33 percent of high school students had daily physical education.

Almost 33 percent of high school students watch three or more hours of TV and close to 25 percent of high school students play video or computer games or use a computer for non-school activities for three or more hours on an average school day.

Page 7: W8MD Medical Weight Loss Centers Of America Weight Loss Program

Alarming Trends

Approximately 75,000 new cases of diabetes, 14,000 new cases of coronary heart disease, and $1.4 billion in health care costs can be attributed to the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages.

Spending in fast food restaurants has grown more than 18 times (from $6 billion to $110billion) in the past 30 years.

Market and Need Analysis

A recent U.S. government survey indicated that 50 percent of American adults felt their weight was too high and that 80 percent of the respondents intended to start a diet or fitness program within the next six months to correct their weight problem. This survey fact alone is reason enough to start a weight loss clinic.
