Medical Weight Loss
Our medical weight loss programs combine board-certified physician oversight with personalized treatment plans addressing obesity as a complex medical condition. We utilize evidence-based approaches including nutritional counseling, behavioral modification, and FDA-approved medications to create sustainable weight management solutions tailored to individual health needs and metabolic requirements.
Medication-Assisted Weight Loss
This program integrates FDA-approved anti-obesity medications like GLP-1 agonists and oral medications with comprehensive lifestyle counseling. Our physicians prescribe medications such as Wegovy, Zepbound, and Saxenda alongside personalized nutrition plans and exercise recommendations to enhance weight loss outcomes while ensuring proper medical monitoring for safety and effectiveness.
Pre-Bariatric Surgical Program
Designed for patients preparing for bariatric surgery, this program reduces surgical risks through a structured full meal replacement diet. The two-week protocol decreases liver size and teaches essential lifestyle skills needed for post-surgical success, helping patients meet qualification requirements and improve long-term surgical outcomes through medical supervision.
Post-Bariatric Surgical Care
Our post-bariatric care program provides ongoing medical support to maintain surgical results through nutritional monitoring, behavioral counseling, and potential pharmacotherapy. We address post-surgical challenges while ensuring patients receive comprehensive guidance for long-term weight maintenance and management of obesity-related health conditions.
Mediterranean Diet Program
This non-restrictive eating approach emphasizes whole-grain carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats while avoiding nutrient deficiencies. Our customized Mediterranean-style meal plans promote sustainable weight loss through balanced nutrition, incorporating all food groups in calorie-appropriate portions tailored to individual metabolic needs and health goals.
