At Melamed Weight & Wellness, Dr. Julia Melamed and our registered dietitian take a data-driven approach to uncover the root causes of weight gain. Your plan is built from lab results and metabolic insights (not guesswork) to help you lose weight safely and sustainably.
Build a Plan Meant for Sustainable Weight Loss
Medical weight loss appointments at Melamed Weight & Wellness are comprehensive, physician-led visits that aim to uncover the underlying reasons behind weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Unlike generic weight loss programs, these appointments combine advanced lab testing, body composition analysis, and nutritional guidance to create a personalized plan. You’ll meet with Dr. Melamed and our licensed dietitian, Shadi, for a detailed evaluation that addresses your metabolism, hormones, and lifestyle. The goal is to provide safe, effective strategies that deliver sustainable results tailored to you.
Your Comprehensive Initial Weight Loss Appointment
Your first visit aims to uncover the medical and metabolic reasons behind weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Instead of relying on guesswork, we use objective data to guide your plan. Your initial weight loss appointment includes:
- 45-minute medical consultation with Dr. Julia Melamed
- 30-minute session with our registered dietitian, Shadi
- Detailed physical exam focused on weight loss health factors
- InBody body composition analysis to measure muscle, fat, and hydration
- EKG to assess heart health and safety
- Metabolic blood work to identify hormonal, nutritional, or insulin-related imbalances
This evaluation provides us with the insight to design a personalized, safe, and effective plan. Many patients discover hidden factors, such as nutrient deficiencies, thyroid issues, or insulin resistance, that explain why their prior weight loss efforts were unsuccessful.
Personalized Plans That Target the Root Cause of Weight Gain
We believe that no two bodies are the same, and your plan should reflect that. Using your lab results, body composition data, and lifestyle details, we create a plan that is realistic, medically safe, and designed to help you succeed long term. Our approach emphasizes:
- Real food nutrition based on Dr. Melamed’s structured, high-protein diet
- Supplement recommendations to support metabolism and energy as needed
- Prescription medications, such as GLP-1 agonists, when appropriate and medically indicated
- Practical dietitian guidance to address cravings, dining out, and sustainable eating habits
Our mission is to help you lose weight safely and effectively, with tools that set you up for long-term success. Whether medication is part of your plan or not, our team is here to support you with ongoing guidance, nutritional coaching, and compassionate care.
Ongoing Nutrition Support With Our Licensed Dietitian
As part of your medical weight loss appointments, you’ll also receive one-on-one support from Shadi. These sessions are specifically curated to help you create sustainable strategies that fit seamlessly into your daily life. Your dietitian will help you:
- Manage food cravings and emotional eating
- Build balanced, realistic meal plans
- Navigate dining out and social situations
- Support medical or specialty dietary needs
- Improve energy, digestion, and hormone balance
Body composition testing is incorporated at each visit, allowing you to see real-time progress and make adjustments as needed to keep results on track. Together, you’ll create practical eating strategies, from food swaps and shopping tips to meal prep advice, that ensure you can succeed both at home and on the go.
Ongoing One-on-one Support After the Initial Appointment
Your progress continues well beyond the first consultation. When it’s the right fit, we integrate ongoing one-on-one appointments into your personalized plan, giving you consistent guidance, careful monitoring, and the accountability needed to ensure long-term success. As necessary, we provide ongoing one-on-one appointments to ensure your success, including:
- Monthly or bi-monthly check-ins with Dr. Melamed or our dietitian
- Body composition testing to confirm fat loss, muscle preservation, and metabolic health
- Targeted adjustments to medications, diet, or supplements based on your progress
- Precision wellness support, including medical-grade supplements and customized IM nutrient shots, that aim to:
- Keep energy levels steady
- Reduce cravings and fatigue
- Support muscle preservation during fat loss
- Boost metabolism and overall vitality
At Melamed Weight & Wellness, our weight loss plans aren’t simply about “diet pills and weigh-ins.” It’s about carefully fine-tuning your nutrition, hormones, and metabolism to help you feel good while losing weight, so you stay consistent, motivated, and on track long term.
