Medical weight loss

What is medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss means your plan is guided by a physician and by your own health data, not by a generic diet. Hormones, metabolism, sleep, stress and medications can all affect your weight.

We start by finding out what is getting in your way, then build a plan you can keep. If you live in Sarasota, Venice or nearby, our two clinics make regular check-ins simple.
