Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Health
Real science. Real medicine. Real results — without the gimmicks.
Obesity isn't a willpower problem. It's a medical one.
If losing weight were just about eating less and moving more, you would have done it already. You've probably tried — more than once. Maybe it worked for a while. Then your body fought back, your hunger came roaring back, and the weight returned with interest.
That's not a character flaw. That's biology.
Obesity is a chronic, treatable medical condition — driven by hormones, genetics, metabolism, and brain chemistry. It deserves the same serious, evidence-based care we give to diabetes or high blood pressure.
At Synergy Health, that's exactly what we do.
Weight loss led by board-certified obesity medicine.
Synergy's Medical Director is dual board-certified in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine. This is not a med spa. Not a coaching subscription. Not a weight loss "program" run by non-physicians. Real medicine, from a real medical practice.
About GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 medications have transformed weight loss medicine. Patients who've struggled for decades are now seeing fifteen to twenty-two percent total body weight loss sustainably, results comparable to bariatric surgery.
Despite the hype, these medications are serious and require:
- Proper patient selection — not every patient should be on them
- Careful dose titration — going up too fast causes side effects; too slow wastes precious time
- Ongoing monitoring — for side effects, plateaus, and underlying conditions
- Integration with nutrition and lifestyle — or you'll lose muscle instead of fat
- A long-term maintenance plan — because stopping without one leads to the dreaded bounce back
You won't get that from a ten-minute telehealth visit with a provider you'll never see again.
What to expect during your treatment
GLP-1 Medications
If your body mass index is over 30, GLP-1 medication may be indicated. If prescribed, you are monitored closely by a real physician.
Comprehensive Metabolic Workup
Full metabolic labs, thyroid panel, hormonal screening, and insulin resistance testing to understand why your body is holding onto weight.
Ongoing Medical Management
The hard part isn't losing the weight — it's keeping it off. We stay with you for the long game.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Guidance
Evidence-based nutrition counseling — not fad diets. Protein, fiber, sustainable habits.
Body Composition Monitoring
We track what actually matters — body fat, lean muscle mass, waist circumference — not just the scale.
Long-Term Maintenance
The hard part isn't losing the weight — it's keeping it off. We stay with you for the long game.
Why patients choose Synergy
Insurance-first approach
Unlike med spas and cash-only clinics, we bill your insurance when we can. Many patients get their weight loss care fully covered.
We handle prior authorizations
GLP-1 prior auths are notoriously difficult. We've built the workflow to maximize approvals — including appeals when denied.
Integrated with primary care
Your weight loss care is connected to your overall health — blood pressure, diabetes risk, cholesterol, thyroid, mental health. Nothing falls through the cracks. Learn more about primary care here.
No gimmicks, no upsells
No "programs." No mandatory supplement stacks. No B12 shot bundles. Just evidence-based care.
Long-term partnership
We follow you closely — not just for the first twenty pounds, but for years.
Direct access between visits
Questions about side effects, dosing, or what to eat? Message us directly. We aim to eliminate barriers between you and your provider.
Insurance & cost
With insurance: Most major plans cover medical weight loss visits as standard primary care benefits. GLP-1 medication coverage varies widely — some plans cover them fully, some require prior authorization, some don't cover them at all. Without insurance (or if your plan doesn't cover GLP-1): Transparent cash pay options, including alternative GLP-1 access pathways. Manufacturer savings programs can dramatically reduce costs for eligible patients.
When you request an appointment, we verify your specific coverage — including your formulary — before your first visit. No guessing, no surprise bills.
