About Our Program<\/em><\/h2>\n

We understand the battle to reach and maintain a healthy weight is highly personal, and that one-size-fits-all diet programs or surgery may not be the right answer for you. Weight loss is complicated; it can be affected by stress, sleep quality and various other factors.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve developed a robust non-surgical weight management options built around four key components: medical, nutrition, lifestyle modfication, and physicial activity. It\u2019s a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to weight management, combining scientific research, sound nutrition and our extensive team of clinical experts.<\/p>\n

Medical weight management is for patients with a Body Mass Index 30+ or 27-29.9 with an obesity related condition such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea. Some services may not be safe if currently on dialysis, pregnant, or undergoing cancer treatment. A patient advocate can answer questions about program limitations.<\/p>\n

New Beginning Program<\/h3>\n

New Beginning is medically supervised by an Obesity Medicine Physician and includes intensive lifestyle intervention, partial meal replacement, weekly follow-up, and interactive group education sessions with a Clinical Dietitian.
\nThis program incorporates long-term engagement and proven strategies for sustainable weight loss. A commitment of at least 12 weeks is required. Weekly group sessions are available virtually, with in person appointments with a Dietitian and Physician. Meal replacement products are available at the weight loss center, and meal plans are developed individually.
\nThe first appointment is a detailed assessment with the physician that includes an EKG, Body Composition, and Metabolic Labs. After the assessment, patients are scheduled for an orientation with the dietitian where you will learn about meal plans, nutrition needs, and expected weight loss.<\/p>\n
