Specializes in Preventive Medicine

Evaluation is a must: Weight issues, both weight gain and weigh loss, can be multifactorial: Dietary/Food Allergies Hormonal Imbalances Neurotransmitter Imbalances Lifestyle/Behavioral issues Mental/Emotional concerns Insulin Resistance Other Metabolic/Chemical Imbalances The great majority of these entities needs to be evaluated in order to uncover any hidden obstacles to weight management.
