Doctor Guided Medical Weight Loss

You’re ready for a change.

What you’ve tried: Yo-yo dieting, cutting out this, eating less of that, only to see mediocre results that don’t last. Traditional weight management plans are primarily focused on the “move more, eat less” approach. It’s more complicated than that.

How this is different: I know how difficult it can be when you’ve tried so many things to lose weight and how frustrating it is when you don’t see the results you want.

Medical weight loss is different. This is a doctor-patient collaboration that focuses on treating you as a whole person, not just a number on a scale.

We’ll look at your biology, genetics, current lifestyle, and personal struggles to create a customized weight loss plan that will finally give you real, sustainable results. 

My approach focuses on all the pillars of health;

  • physical activity
  • proper nutrition
  • adequate sleep
  • stress management
  • weight loss medications
  • and more

During this 20 minute call, we’ll discuss your current health, future goals, and answer any questions you may have.

Results Matter

Real patients. Real results.

My promise to you

UNWAVERING SUPPORT

Every challenge, health-related, weight-related, or otherwise, will always have its ups and downs. It’s one thing to know what you need to do, it’s another thing to force yourself to do it. There will be setbacks, but we are partners in your progression. I am with you every step of the way.

EDUCATION: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

As a doctor, I feel it is imperative to educate each patient on their body’s needs. When you understand why and how to make changes, the magic really happens.

 

EMPOWERMENT

 I understand what years of being unhealthy, overweight, anxious, depressed, and self-conscious can do to a person’s confidence. Together we’ll work through mental blocks to shift your mindset and make healthier life-long habits. My goal is to empower you so that you are your own healer. 

WE’LL BUILD A HAPPIER YOU

Imagine a restful sleep, waking up energized instead of hitting snooze. Imagine handling stress as it comes and feeling good when you look in the mirror. Happiness is built from internal health and that’s what I’m here to help you achieve.

CUSTOMIZED FOR YOU…NOT “THOSE LIKE YOU”

I offer completely personalized plans based on our extensive consultation. During this session, I get to know you – your wants, your needs, your experiences, your family history, and your current lifestyle. Based on this, I create a tailored treatment plan which may evolve with your progress. I never use a blanket approach. This truly is Designer Medicine.
