Medical Weight Loss Program

Medical weight loss refers to a scientifically backed, physician-supervised approach to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike fad diets or generic weight loss plans, medical weight loss programs are tailored to a person’s unique health profile, medical history, and weight loss goals, ensuring a personalized and sustainable solution.

Nutrition counseling
Behavior modification
Physical activity recommendations
FDA-approved weight loss medications, if needed

The last 3 months of the program consists of once monthly visits.
Labs and vital signs are re-assessed as needed throughout the program.

At the end of the program, we re-evaluate health markers such as labs, vital signs and other indicators to see just how far you’ve come!

Maybe you’ve always struggled with weight. Maybe it all started during the pandemic, or after menopause, or maybe it’s related to an underlying health condition. I’ve seen it all! Because obesity is such a medically complex condition, there absolutely cannot be a one size fits all approach to treating it. And without addressing the root cause, weight loss will never be sustainable.

With all the fad diets, bogus supplements and weight loss advice out there, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with figuring out the best, safest way for you to lose weight. That’s why I’ve developed a structured 6 month program where I team up with you to identify the root cause behind your weight struggles, develop a personalized plan for you, and meet frequently so we can monitor your progress and modify your regimen.
