Medical weight management that actually works
Losing weight is about more than willpower. As a board-certified internist, Dr. Raman Palabindala takes a medical-first approach — identifying the metabolic, hormonal, and lifestyle factors that make weight loss difficult and building a plan that addresses them head-on.
From GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy to nutrition counseling and comorbidity management, we provide the tools, monitoring, and ongoing support you need for lasting results.
What's Involved
A complete approach to weight management
Effective weight loss requires more than a diet plan. We combine medical evaluation, FDA-approved medications, and lifestyle coaching to help you reach and maintain a healthier weight.
BMI & Body Composition
We start with a thorough assessment of your BMI, body composition, and waist-to-hip ratio to establish a clear baseline and set realistic, healthy goals.
GLP-1 Medications
When appropriate, we prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro to help regulate appetite and support sustained weight loss.
Metabolic Testing
Comprehensive lab work — including thyroid, insulin, cortisol, and lipid panels — to uncover metabolic factors that may be making weight loss harder.
Nutrition Planning
Personalized dietary guidance that fits your lifestyle, food preferences, and health conditions — no crash diets, just sustainable changes that work.
Exercise Guidance
Activity recommendations tailored to your fitness level, joint health, and schedule so you can build movement habits that support long-term results.
Comorbidity Management
Weight affects everything — blood pressure, blood sugar, sleep, and joints. We manage these connected conditions alongside your weight loss plan.
