How it works

No lecture. A plan you can keep.

  1. 1

    A 60 minute first visit

    A real conversation with a provider, a body composition scan, and labs if you need them.

  2. 2

    Your plan

    Meals built around food you like, movement you will actually do, and medicine only if it is right for you.

  3. 3

    Monthly check-ins

    A scan and a visit every month, and messages with your coach in between.

  4. 4

    Keeping it

    When you reach your goal, maintenance visits help you hold on to the habits you built.

Check your BMI

Where you are starting, in plain numbers

Move the sliders. We show your BMI, a healthy range for your height, and whether prescription medicine is usually considered.

BMI is a rough screening number. It does not measure body fat, which is why we scan. This is general information, not medical advice.

30.7Obesity, class 1

  • A healthy weight range for 5 ft 6 in is 115 to 154 lb.
  • 5 percent of your weight is 10 lb. The CDC notes that losing 5 to 10 percent can improve blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.
  • Prescription weight loss medicine may be an option for you. Your provider decides at your first visit, after your consult and labs.

In their own words

Individual experiences. Results vary from person to person.

Medical program, South End

"For the first time a doctor asked what I actually eat on a Tuesday, not what I should eat. No lecture, just a plan I could keep."

Monique CarterSouth End

Foundations, Ballantyne

"The monthly scan kept me going. Some months the scale barely moved, but I could see I was keeping my muscle."

Questions

Before your first visit

Anything else, ask us on the phone.

Call the clinic

No. You can book directly, and we can send your notes to your primary care doctor if you like.

Only if your provider thinks it is safe and right for you, after your consult and labs. Many patients do well with coaching and nutrition alone.

Visits and labs often are covered. Coverage for weight loss medicine varies a lot, so we check yours before you start.

You stand on a platform for under a minute and it estimates your body fat, muscle and water, so we see more than the number on the scale. It is not used if you have a pacemaker or are pregnant.

We plan for that from the start, with maintenance visits to help you keep the habits you have built.

First visit

Start with a conversation

A 60 minute first visit with a provider, a body composition scan, and labs if you need them. No pressure to sign up for anything.
