Navigating Weight Loss
Find the best way to achieve your healthy weight.
After your initial consultation and labs, you’ll receive a customized diet plan based on you, your body and your life. At your next appointment, we’ll review your plan, making adjustments based on your likes, dislikes, past successes and failures.

Your life is busy, you’re on the go, and there are numerous pitfalls such as social and business events, stresses and time demands. Everything about our weight loss program is designed to help you navigate real life and achieve your healthy weight.
Our appointment schedule fits yours. We offer early morning, evening and Saturday appointments. In the beginning, we’ll see you every couple of weeks to month, but the time between check-ins will evolve depending on what stage you are at along your weight loss journey.

Any weight loss is a success worth celebrating! When you lose 10% of your body weight, that’s a milestone most people reach in 3 months. After that, you’ll receive milestone percentages based on healthy weight goals until you reach weight maintenance.
