WESTMINSTER, Colo. (CBS4)– A young father from Arvada is about 100 pounds lighter and on the path to losing even more weight. He did not try the latest fad diet, instead he followed a very personal plan he created with his doctor. There are no gimmicks. It uses every weight loss tool available and his primary care doctor is with him all the way.

“My peak weight … I got up to like 387 pounds,” Joshua Calderon told CBS4 Health Specialist Kathy Walsh.

In October 2018, Joshua Calderon went to his doctor, Erik Kramer, for help. A program called “PATHWEIGH” kept him coming back.
“PATHWEIGH” is personalized care. Calderon is taking two appetite suppressants, using an app to count calories and exercising. Kramer strategizes with him every two months. UCHealth now plans to institute the PATHWEIGH program in all 58 of its family medicine practices.
