medical weight loss guidance from a doctor

Physician-guided weight loss means you'll get comprehensive, scientific solutions to managing a healthy weight. Attempting a weight loss program is best achieved through guidance from a real physician. As a board-certified doctor, we believe anything related to your body is a serious matter! Your health stats are evaluated, and your goal isn't just the weight on the scale. So, we'll look at what you're seeing, and consider the metabolic and medical factors at play. Besides, doctors are like scientists (or should be!) and the science of your body is complex. Especially if you're taking any medication for other health issues, seeking scientific, medical guidance from a multi-disciplinary physician, with knowledge of FDA-approved drugs, is essential for sustainable weight management and long-term health.

Dr. Schwartz began her own weight loss journey in 2018 while practicing cardiology. This personal health turning point led her to explore the science behind metabolic health. In addition, it sparked a passion that transformed not only her own life, but also her professional focus. The constant cycle of dieting ended when she pursued her own integrative approach to reducing cholesterol, managing diabetes, and losing pounds while being a mom. She now shares evidence-based strategies to help patients improve their health through weight loss and sustainable changes. With both clinical expertise and lived experience, Dr. Schwartz guides her patients through the complexities of metabolic disease, weight loss medications, and everyday challenges with empathy and empowerment.
