Diets

Our diet options vary. They can be individualized regular food diets (like rotating or balanced deficit diets), formula diets for rapid weight loss (like OPTIFAST), or partial supplementation diets (like keto and high-protein diets). Additionally, we offer a 10-day detox treatment. Note: Diets are combined with appetite suppressants when appropriate.

Rotational Diet

Rotational diets temporarily “stress” your body by excluding certain food groups during certain periods of time (for instance: vegetarian for 2-3 weeks, lactose-free for 2-3 weeks, then gluten-free for 2-3 weeks), therefore helping your body ease into weight loss faster and more effectively.

OPTIFAST Diet

OPTIFAST is a medically supervised weight loss program that utilizes meal replacement plans, self-prepared meals, comprehensive patient education, and support. Typically lasting 26-52 weeks, the OPTIFAST program consists of 3 phases: firstly, the active weight loss phase, secondly, the transition phase, and thirdly, the maintenance phase.

High-Protein Diet

Like its name, the high-protein diet uses high-protein foods to enhance nutrition and appetite control. It includes fresh food recipes and works particularly well for busy lifestyles, as you’re able to both cook and eat out. High-protein foods are also healthy and fast alternatives to have on you or in the car.

Balanced Deficit Diet

This diet takes you back to basics. It’s about eating the right food in the right amounts at the right time. It also includes the calculation of a sustainable daily caloric intake to ensure a certain amount of weight loss.

Dietary Medications

The world of medical weight loss and appetite suppression medication is constantly evolving. The most important thing to do when figuring out what medication is right for you is finding a medical expert you trust. Skillfully administered anti-obesity medications will make your weight loss journey easier and faster. It will also help you maintain a healthy weight in the long run. It’s additionally critical to find supplement support that can be tailored to your individual health profile, existing medications included. Also note that obesity defined as a body mass index (BMI) over 30 is now considered a medical condition and is covered by most medical insurance plans.

Dr. Julia Melamed is a nationally recognized expert and educator on obesity medications, lecturing all over the U.S. She often uses a variety of older stimulatory medications like phentermine. She also uses the latest classes of drugs like Saxenda, Qsymia, and CONTRAVE.

    Micronutrient Testing &
     Nutritional Evaluation Panel

    Micronutrient testing is a blood test that measures specific vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino/fatty acids, and metabolites in your white blood cells. Furthermore, a micronutrient test can reveal deficiencies correlated to conditions like diabetes, fibromyalgia, hypertension, hypothyroidism, dyslipidemia, insomnia, asthma, estrogen, testosterone, headaches, inflammation, depression, anxiety, and weight management.

    RMR Testing

    The RMR (resting metabolic rate) test is a simple, non-invasive test that accurately measures how many calories you burn at rest. During the test, a machine captures and analyzes the composition of your breath. As a result, we are able to determine your oxygen consumption and measure the rate at which you consume energy.
