Obesity Treatment in Pearland, TX

Comprehensive Weight Management at Broadway Family Clinic

Obesity is a complex, chronic medical condition characterized by excess body fat that increases the risk of serious health problems. It is not simply a matter of willpower. Genetics, metabolism, hormones, lifestyle, and medical conditions all play a role.

At Broadway Family Clinic in Pearland, Texas, we offer personalized, evidence-based obesity evaluation and treatment focused on sustainable weight management and long-term health improvement.

What Is Obesity?

Obesity is typically defined using Body Mass Index (BMI), a screening tool based on height and weight. A BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obesity. While BMI is not perfect, it helps identify individuals at increased risk for obesity-related health conditions.

Obesity is associated with increased risk of:

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Hypertension

  • Heart disease

  • High cholesterol

  • Joint and mobility problems

  • Sleep apnea

Common Symptoms of Obesity

Obesity may present with a variety of physical and functional symptoms, including:

  • Difficulty losing weight despite efforts

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Shortness of breath with activity

  • Joint or back pain

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Reduced mobility

Because obesity often progresses gradually, early evaluation can help prevent complications.

What Causes Obesity?

Obesity develops from a combination of biological, environmental, and behavioral factors, including:

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Hormonal or metabolic imbalances

  • Sedentary lifestyle

  • High-calorie or processed diets

  • Stress and sleep disruption

  • Certain medications

  • Underlying medical conditions

Our providers take a comprehensive approach to understand each patient’s unique contributors to weight gain.

Obesity Evaluation and Diagnosis

At Broadway Family Clinic, obesity evaluation may include:

  • BMI and body composition assessment

  • Review of diet, activity, and lifestyle

  • Screening for related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol

  • Evaluation for hormonal or metabolic factors

This thorough assessment allows us to design a personalized care plan tailored to your health goals.
