Our goal is to improve lives by promoting healthy lifestyles. Our Weight Management Program uses one-on-one behavioral counseling and the prescription appetite suppressant, phentermine, to help our patients lose weight and develop the proper diet and exercise habits necessary to maintain that weight loss, without having to struggle against hunger.
With its emphasis on long-term progress and the use of a powerful prescription appetite suppressant, our program should be considered only by the significantly overweight who have failed multiple diet attempts. It is not appropriate for those seeking only modest weight loss for cosmetic reasons. A Better Way Health Center is dedicated to helping you lose weight in the healthiest way possible without hunger.

A Better Way Health Center is a preventive medicine program in the Southdale Medical Center in Edina, Minnesota. We focus on weight control through the development of a permanent healthy diet and exercise habits, so that weight loss is not only achieved, but also maintained. As an aid to this process, most of our patients also use the medication, phentermine.
The following FAQ is for educational purposes only and is in no way intended to be nor should be interpreted as medical advice. Everyone seeking to begin a new diet, physical activity routine or medication should always first consult with their primary care physician for how specific health conditions may be affected by or limit their participation.
We allow patients a half-hour grace period for late check-in, after which time we require rescheduling. Priority is given to patients arriving promptly for their appointment. Includes medical history and physical exam, consultations with a registered dietician and a physician, and if medically qualified, placement on Phentermine.
I have discussed with this patient the health implications of his/her current overweight condition, and we both concur that behavioral attempts to improve this condition have produced less than satisfactory results to date.
I understand that A Better Way Health Center's medical staff will evaluate this patient for program eligibility, with referral back to his/her primary care provider should either a previously undisclosed medical condition be detected or further workup be deemed prudent.

The nutrition coaches are very nice and understanding always giving you tips and tricks to help you do better and pick yourself back up if you fall again. Dr. Nelson is very informative and thorough , answers any question you have and always has helpful answers to help in your journey. Any success from here isn't a quick fix it's a journey and it takes time and growth to do better and failures will come and go. I love this place and always look forward to my meeting even when I don't do my best in diet/exercise I know I'll be meeting with non judgmental people.
