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

 

Free Meet and Greet!

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

I have been working with Dr. Selim since July 2024. I began my journey at 182.5 pounds. At my last visit, I weighed 125.3 pounds! I never thought I would exceed my initial goal weight. Dr. Selim's guidance and support on my journey have been authentic and unwavering. I truly appreciate her honesty and interest in me as a person, not just someone trying to lose weight. I also love that she's not afraid to "take me to task" when I'm losing sight of my "whys." I hope to continue to benefit from Dr. Selim's expert guidance for a long time to come.

Dr. Nancy Selim is a breath of fresh air in what seems like a broken healthcare system. She is professional, knowledgeable and compassionate beyond any expectation I could have. It is a blessing to be in her care. She truly listens, provides thoughtful data-backed insights and empathy in every interaction. She also makes herself available outside of set appointments and you never feel rushed. Service like this just doesn’t exist often anymore. Thank you, Dr. Selim!

Dr. Selim is one of the smartest and most compassionate doctors I have ever met. When I first met her I was out of shape, over weight, high cholesterol and a multitude of other issues due to my weight. She was strategic and encouraging and helped me lose over 60lbs in less than a year. She was patient and kind and when I hit milestones she was very encouraging. She never made me feel like I was missing out on anything which is why I had struggled so much. She just encouraged me to include more healthy things over time so it became normal and even enjoyable. I will always appreciate meeting her and highly recommend. Also keep in mind she is helping you to make a lifestyle change. This is not short. This is a long term plan to get you to good.

It's been a little over a year since I started working with Dr. Selim, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to those who not only want to lose weight, but to those who want to be guided into a new way a thinking around weight loss, nutrition, and healthy living. I've lost about 25% of my body weight so far: all with a combination of a renewed outlook on eating; increased activity (walking and a bit of strength training); medication; and support and guidance from Dr. Selim. It helps to have a professional in your corner so you don't have to go through the journey alone.

I have lost a whopping 115 pounds on my weight loss journey so far, and 70 of those came after consulting with Dr. Selim. I feel incredible—like I’ve started a whole new life! She is more than just a standard physician; she truly cares about her patients, their personal goals, and overall well-being. She motivated me to make healthy changes to achieve lasting results and her guidance, and expertise have been literally life-changing. If you're struggling with weight management or low energy levels, I highly recommend Revive!

I am so grateful for Dr. Selim! She was exceptional at helping me understand what I need to do to reach my goals and I could tell that she genuinely cared about my well being and quality of life. She was readily available to answer any and all of my questions and I felt that I had someone in my corner who was cheering me on and supporting me in whatever way possible throughout this journey. She helped me make meaningful changes to my lifestyle that will allow me to live the life that I want. I now live a healthier and happier life because of her!

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.

Let’s Build a Healthier You

Identify your goal and take action.
