Precision Weight Loss Program
A functional approach to weight loss that identifies and addresses the root cause of your weight issues.
A Functional Approach to Weight Loss
This program is ideal for people looking for a functional approach to weight loss or obesity. Most people enrolling in this program have failed all the fad diets and intense exercise regimens and are looking for something more sustainable.
The program requires clients to be very motivated and ready to invest fully in the educational, clinical, and diagnostic efforts required to understand the root cause of their weight issues. Recommendations may include medications/supplements, if needed, but more importantly dietary, lifestyle, and tools to empower your mindset.
By the end of the program, you will be given the tools to create a lifestyle that is healthy and sustainable. Our ultimate goal is for you to continue to thrive without us.
Science-Based Weight Management
Beyond Fad Diets — Real Results
Our Precision Weight Loss program uses advanced body composition analysis, metabolic testing, and personalized nutrition protocols to address the root causes of weight gain — not just the symptoms.
By combining medical diagnostics with health coaching and education, we empower you with the tools and knowledge to create lasting, sustainable change. Our ultimate goal is for you to thrive independently.
Precision Weight Loss Details
Once enrolled, you'll meet with all clinicians on your team in person, on the phone, and via videoconference, as we gather your health history, decide on initial labs, explain our clinic process, and prepare you for educational sessions, lab reviews, and treatment planning visits.
The intake process includes:
Phone:Intake appointment with your doctor (40 min)
The purpose of this intake will be to "hear your story," collect important health information, history, and order labs.
Video:Appointment with Health Educator (15 min)
Our Health Educator will explain lab kits and collection procedures.
In Office:Physical exam (20 min)
Your doctor will conduct a physical exam.
Video:Teaching session with your doctor (30 min)
Weight loss concepts are explained in detail.
In Office:Health & Nutrition Coaching (90 min)
Gather initial intake regarding diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress, baseline measurements, body composition analysis and barriers to treatment. From your initial intake, she will tailor and start you on lifestyle and dietary modifications while waiting for lab work.
Phone:2nd appointment with Health Educator (15 min)
Review your labs, go over the doctor's plan and detailed instructions on supplement protocols.
*Bloodwork ordered may be completed at a lab near you or through your PCP. We cannot guarantee pricing. Total time with the doctor for the new patient appointment is typically 1 hour. If your case is more complex, the doctor might need additional time charged at our New Patient hourly rate, prorated.
Lab Review
After all testing has been completed, we will discuss the findings and put together your treatment plan, which might include dietary, lifestyle, and nutraceutical interventions. A typical lab review is between 60–90 minutes depending on complexity. These visits are billed at $450/hr, prorated to the time spent with the doctor. We expect the program to last approximately 6 months but can be shorter or longer.
Initial Follow-Up with Health Coach
This 60-minute appointment is a chance to review previously discussed interventions/goals. It is a chance to troubleshoot and tailor your following week's goals. Every month you will have a 60-minute appointment to recheck body weight, body composition, and anthropometrics to objectively track your progress.
Additional Medical & Coaching Follow-Ups
- Visits range from 20–30 minutes, approximately every month initially with Dr. Soorya for the first 3–5 months while proceeding through individualized protocols. This is for your safety and to ensure you are tolerating all supplements/medications.
- You will meet with our health coach weekly for 30 minutes to ease into lifestyle and dietary changes. This establishes accountability. Once you have found your rhythm, follow-up visits will then be biweekly.
- Once a month, come into the office for a follow-up BIA to track body composition progress. Results will be reviewed with our health coach.
- When all pre-planned protocols are finished, you will be taken off supplements in a structured manner. We will meet one more time for long-term discharge instructions.
All follow-up appointments are billed at $450/hr, prorated to time spent.
