Did You Know? Losing even a small amount of weight can have a big impact on your health — especially your A1C levels!

For many people, carrying extra weight makes it harder for the body to use insulin effectively. But the good news? Modest weight loss (even 5–10% of your body weight) can improve insulin sensitivity, help stabilize blood sugar, and support a lower A1C. 🎉

Our Medical Weight Management program has helped hundreds of patients achieve their weight loss goals and we can help you too!

Lowering your A1C is about feeling better, having more energy, and taking charge of your health.

Perimenopause can make weight gain feel inevitable, but you’re not imagining it — hormonal changes, a natural drop in muscle mass (which slows your metabolism), and increased insulin resistance can all play a role.

The good news? You can take back control.

If you’re finding that lifestyle changes aren’t enough, our healthcare professionals are here to help.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

You’ve likely heard the saying, “Exercise is 20%, and nutrition is 80%.” While the numbers aren’t scientifically exact, the message rings true: nutrition plays a bigger role in weight loss than exercise alone.

That said, adding movement to your day is always a smart choice. Incorporating structured daily activity not only supports fat loss but also boosts your overall physical and mental well-being.

Of course, the foundation of any effective fat loss plan is proper nutrition. Your body needs the right fuel to burn fat efficiently, manage calorie intake, and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

That’s why our customized meal plans are designed specifically for your unique needs and goals—to support you every step of the way on your weight management journey.
