Medical Grade Meal Replacements: These are shakes, bars, and soups, created by Nestle, and tested and used for decades with very low incidence of side effects and high success rates, in comparison to other low calorie diets. **Coming Soon! Learn more about meal replacements here.
Medications When needed, and ideally in conjunction with meal replacements, we use prescription medication to help aid weight loss.
Education Consults with nutritionists and dietitians as well as weekly webinars will soon be a part of our package deal offerings. In the meantime, you will be provided with weekly education materials. Consistent education on health and wellness helps change the way you think about food, and prepares you to make different choices when you begin re-introducing food.
Physical Activity We will work with you to determine medically safe and achievable goals to not only reduce fat, but build muscle in the process. This will change the way you look and feel as you shed the weight, and will be essential in achieving greater longevity and optimal quality of life.
Support We understand these changes may be difficult, especially at first. We offer weekly office visits with the doctor in the first month, and weekly nursing calls in addition, to encourage and support you in your goals, and offer advice and suggestions for any challenges you face on a weekly basis.
Medical Monitoring Unlike most weight loss centers, your weight loss will be supervised by a competent physician, who will monitor your lab values, your heart health, and your body fat, muscle and fluid levels to ensure a thorough, safe, and effective path to improving your overall health, not only your weight loss.
All Inclusive Medical Treatment As we set goals together, it will go beyond weight loss. Dr. Shill is proficient and experienced in treating complex adult disease processes. We can work together to reverse these disease processes, reduce and eliminate medications you are taking, and achieve a greater sense of well being. The improvements you will see will not stop with reducing your clothing sizes and belt loops. We want you to see improvements in chronic disease such as diabetes, hypertension and heart failure, chronic pain, sleep, mental health, nutrition, gut health, joint problems, sexual health, mobility, quicker recovery from illness and surgeries, and so much more. We will custom make these goals with you, and measure and celebrate the improvements in each one.
