Obesity and metabolic disorders such as diabetes, pre-diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome are some of the most serious health conditions affecting individuals in the United States. Obesity is a complex, chronic, relapsing, multifactorial, neurobehavioral disease with adverse metabolic, physical, and psychosocial health consequences. It is not a character flaw or just about will power.

The Lifestyle and Metabolic Medicine care team creates a positive environment focused on education and encouragement, eliminating the blame and shame that can be associated with being overweight or obese.

A Holistic, Lifestyle-Based Approach

The Lifestyle and Metabolic Medicine program provides patients with a new framework and new tools; it’s not conventional ‘eat less, exercise more’ advice. We advocate:

• Eating whole foods; more protein, vegetables, and healthy fats while reducing refined carbohydrates
• Timing meals appropriately
• Getting adequate sleep
• Managing stress
• Optimizing physical activity
