Personalized, Root-Cause Weight Loss Care With Dr. Julia Melamed
At Melamed Weight & Wellness, your weight loss journey starts with insight, not guesswork. Our comprehensive initial consultation is designed to uncover the medical and metabolic reasons behind weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Whether you’ve struggled for years or recently hit a plateau, we’re here to provide a solution that’s tailored to you.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first visit includes a 45-minute medical consultation with Dr. Julia Melamed and a 30-minute session with our registered dietitian, Shadi. During this appointment, we take a full-body approach to understanding your health, starting with:
- A detailed weight loss physical exam
- InBody body composition analysis
- EKG for heart health evaluation
- Comprehensive metabolic blood work
This clinical insight allows us to identify issues like hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, or nutrient deficiencies that may be affecting your ability to lose weight.
Safe, Sustainable Results
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 supports you with ongoing guidance, nutritional coaching, and compassionate care.
Custom Plans, Backed by Medical Expertise
Using the data from your consultation, we’ll build a personalized weight loss plan that fits your lifestyle and medical needs. Our approach emphasizes:
- Real food nutrition based on Melamed’s high-protein diet
- Supplement recommendations if needed for metabolic support
- Prescription weight loss medications, such as GLP-1 agonists, when appropriate
We don’t believe in fad diets or one-size-fits-all plans. Every recommendation is grounded in your lab results, body composition, and personal health goals.
