Obesity Medicine

At PeakMD Health, obesity medicine is a core framework that guides how we treat weight and metabolic health. We view obesity as a chronic treatable medical disease, not a willpower problem.

 

Obesity Medicine is a board-certified medical specialty that focuses on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of obesity and related metabolic conditions using an evidence-based, comprehensive approach.  

 

Physicians in this field address the complex, multifactorial cause of obesity including genetics, metabolism, hormones, behavior, environment and lifestyle.  Treatment may include nutrition counseling, physical activity guidance, sleep and stress interventions, and FDA-approved anti-obesity medications tailored to individual needs. 

 

We also provide pre- and post surgical care for patient’s undergoing bariatric procedures. 

 

Obesity medicine specialists go far beyond “eat less move more.”  Our goal is to provide scientific, personalized and compassionate care to help patients achieve sustainable health improvements, prevent chronic disease and enhance overall well being and healthspan.
