Prioritizing health isn’t just a resolution — it’s a lifelong journey. Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, boost your energy, or simply feel your best, having a trusted healthcare provider can make all the difference.

At Watson Clinic, Family Medicine and Internal Medicine specialists, like Dr. Jeremy Katzmann, are there to guide you every step of the way.

“We really have to individualize it,” says Dr. Katzmann, a board-certified Family Medicine specialist during a recent episode of the Watson Clinic Health Talk podcast. “The advice I have for you may be different than the advice I have for the next patient.”

That’s why Watson Clinic’s primary care providers take a personalized approach, helping patients set realistic goals and create actionable health plans tailored to their needs.

For those focusing on weight loss, Dr. Katzmann often recommends:

Tracking your nutrition for success

Using a food tracking app can provide a clearer picture of calorie consumption and nutritional patterns. After several weeks, patients and their doctors can review the data to make informed adjustments. Blood tests can further help identify nutritional deficiencies, ensuring a well-rounded approach to overall health.

Finding the right fitness routine

Exercise is another key component. Depending on factors like age, physical limitations, and fitness goals, Dr. Katzmann typically advises 30 to 50 minutes of physical activity three to five times a week. Whether it’s walking, weightlifting, or strength training, the goal is to build a sustainable routine that keeps you moving.

Preventive care for long-term wellness

Beyond fitness and nutrition, Watson Clinic’s primary care team is dedicated to preventive care. Regular screenings for conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, and cancer can catch potential health concerns early, leading to better long-term outcomes.

Dr. Katzmann sees patients at Watson Clinic Highlands in south Lakeland. Watson Clinic offers 60+ dedicated primary care providers who accept appointments from six convenient locations. To schedule an appointment, call (863) 680-7190.
