You’ll have a team of experts ready to help you stay on track for better health. We know weight loss is about more than just the number on the scale—it’s about how you feel, eat, and think about food. You’ll work with doctors, nutritionists and behavior specialists who will create a personalized plan with realistic goals just for you. Our program includes:

  • Behavior and lifestyle counseling: We’re here to give you everything you need to reach your weight loss goals and stay on track for the long term. We’ll teach you how to manage stress, deal with challenges, avoid food triggers and more.
  • Nutrition: Our registered dietitians will work with you to make sure you’re eating the right foods and getting what your body needs. We’ll help you avoid foods or situations that could slow down your progress. 
  • Physical activity: Exercise helps you lose weight and feel great. It’s also good for boosting your mood and confidence. We’ll help you find activities that you enjoy and make it easier to stay active.
  • Weight loss medication: Weight loss medications can reduce hunger and cravings, making it easier to stick to your plan. We can recommend safe medications as part of your overall weight loss program.
