Is an obesity visit right for you?
Weight management works best with an ongoing plan, not a one-time fix.
Your BMI or other health markers put you at increased risk and you want a plan
You've tried diet and exercise changes without the results you wanted
You want to discuss whether a GLP-1 or other medication could help
You have a related condition (like prediabetes) you want to manage alongside weight
You want ongoing support and accountability, not just a one-time recommendation

Frequently asked questions
What causes obesity?
Obesity results from a combination of genetics, metabolism, environment, and behavior — it's a chronic condition, not simply a matter of willpower. Sleep quality and certain medications can also play a meaningful role beyond diet and exercise alone.
How is obesity diagnosed?
BMI is a common starting point, alongside other health markers and your overall history — your clinician looks at the full picture, not one number alone. Your clinician will also ask about your goals and any previous approaches you've tried.
What treatment options are available?
Options range from lifestyle and behavioral changes to prescription medications, including GLP-1 medications, depending on your health history and goals. Your clinician will build a plan around what's realistic and sustainable for your specific situation.
When should I consider a medication like a GLP-1?
Your clinician can help you weigh this based on your health history, prior weight-loss attempts, and any related conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
What side effects are associated with weight management medications?
Side effects vary by medication — GLP-1s commonly cause nausea or digestive changes, especially early on. Your clinician reviews this with you before you start and monitors how you're tolerating treatment.
