A Personalized Approach to Medical Weight Management
Our medical director Dr. Vaidehi Patel takes a comprehensive approach to weight loss treatments. We begin with an in-depth medical evaluation to understand your health history, challenges with past weight loss attempts, and the root causes hindering your ability to lose weight effectively.
Based on this assessment, Dr. V customizes a medical weight loss plan designed specifically for you. Key components may include:
- Prescription medications to curb appetite and optimize metabolism
- Hormone testing and optimization to correct imbalances
- Individualized meal planning and dietary guidance
- Custom exercise recommendations based on your fitness level
- Behavioral counseling for developing sustainable lifestyle habits
- Medically-supervised vitamin IV therapy for energy, detoxification, and electrolyte balance
We modify and adjust your program based on your evolving needs and progress. You’ll also have regular follow-ups to track results and make any necessary tweaks.
Our goal is to address all the complex physiological, hormonal, and behavioral factors that impact weight management. By combining medical interventions with tailored lifestyle changes, we can help you lose weight more effectively and maintain those results long-term.
Don’t wait any longer to achieve the look you’ve always dreamed of and the confidence you deserve. Let us help you on your path to transformation.
Prescription Medications for Appetite Control & Metabolic Support
Prescription weight loss medications can be a powerful tool when combined with lifestyle modifications. Under Dr. V’s supervision, medications may be incorporated into your treatment plan to help:
- Decrease appetite and cravings
- Optimize fat burning and metabolism
- Improve endocrine and hormonal function
- Overcome plateaus and boost weight loss results
Medically-Supervised Vitamin IV Therapy
Our Skinny Drip IV therapy contains vitamins and lipotropics designed to:
- Provide an energy boost
- Amplify fat burning
- Support detoxification
- Optimize electrolyte levels
By flooding your body with essential nutrients, our medically-supervised IV vitamin drips can also help accelerate weight loss results when combined with lifestyle changes.
IV therapy helps patients overcome weight loss plateaus while providing holistic benefits related to wellness and vitality.
Hormone Imbalances & Medical Weight Loss
Hormonal imbalances can significantly undermine weight loss efforts. At Dr. V Medical Aesthetics, we test key hormone levels and look for deficiencies or irregularities that may be sabotaging your goals, such as:
| Condition | Effect on Weight Loss |
| Thyroid disorders | Hypothyroidism slows metabolism and makes weight loss difficult, while hyperthyroidism speeds up metabolism leading to inadvertent weight loss. |
| Insulin resistance | Insulin resistance impairs glucose metabolism, which inhibits weight loss. |
| Elevated cortisol | High cortisol promotes fat storage around the abdomen and organs, making weight loss more challenging. |
| Deficient testosterone | Low testosterone is linked to increased belly fat and decreased muscle mass, which impedes weight loss efforts. |
| Estrogen dominance | An imbalance of excessive estrogen compared to progesterone causes increased body fat accumulation, making weight loss more difficult. |
Based on your hormone panel results, we can implement targeted hormone balancing treatments. These may include medications, nutraceuticals, or bioidentical hormone therapy to get your hormone levels back into optimal ranges.
Correcting any hormonal roadblocks to weight loss allows our other treatments to work more effectively so you shed excess fat more efficiently.
Customized Meal Planning for Sustainable Weight Management
Nutrition is critical for weight loss, but restrictive dieting alone is often ineffective long-term. Our registered dietitians design custom meal plans tailored to your preferences, lifestyle, health needs, and weight loss goals.
We emphasize a balanced, sustainable nutrition plan focused on:
- Optimizing protein intake to support lean muscle mass
- Incorporating healthy fats to enhance satiety
- Managing carbohydrate portions to maintain stable blood sugar
- Ensuring adequate fiber and water intake for satiety
- Identifying and eliminating trigger foods leading to cravings or overeating
You’ll get access to shopping lists, recipes, and nutrition tips to simplify weight management. We also help adjust your diet periodically to overcome plateaus.
Through collaborative meal planning with our dietitians, you’ll develop healthy, maintainable eating habits to support lasting weight loss success.
Custom Exercise Plans for Weight Loss & Fitness
Physical activity is vital for achieving and maintaining weight loss. Our certified specialists design custom exercise plans tailored to your current fitness level, physical abilities, and weight loss objectives.
Your personalized fitness program will focus on:
- Cardio – Aerobic activity to burn calories and body fat
- Strength training – To build lean muscle mass which fires up your metabolism
- Flexibility – Stretching and yoga to support joint health and mobility
- Stress reduction – Relaxation techniques to manage cortisol and cravings
We’ll periodically adjust your workout routine to avoid plateaus as your fitness improves. You’ll get access to instructional videos, virtual classes, and tips to stay motivated.
Under medical guidance, we ensure your activity program is safe, realistic, and effective to complement your other weight loss treatments.
