We offer a range of nonsurgical treatments tailored to meet your individual needs.

- Weight Loss Medications: Prescription weight loss medications, such as Wegovy® and Zepbound®, can be an effective part of a comprehensive weight loss plan. These medications work by reducing appetite, slowing stomach emptying, and increasing feelings of fullness after eating. They’re often used alongside lifestyle changes, including eating a balanced diet and regular exercise.
- Nutrition Counseling: Our registered dietitians provide one-on-one counseling to help you make informed food choices and develop healthy eating habits, including understanding your nutritional needs and building a positive relationship with food.
- Behavioral Therapy: Our behavioral therapists focus on identifying and changing unhealthy eating habits and behaviors.
- Physical Activity Guidance: Incorporating regular physical activity is crucial for weight loss and overall health. Our exercise physiologists provide personalized exercise plans, education, and support to help you on your weight loss journey.
