Medical Weight Loss

Effective weight loss is more than just cutting calories. At AZENA, we aim to help you take it off, and keep it off. Our integrative, AIMD℠ approach to weight loss sets us apart. We use a combination of strategies designed to assist you with dietary modifications, reduce fatigue and cravings, promote lifestyle changes, and address other factors as hormonal imbalances, metabolic conditions, and genetic dispositions that may potentially hinder your progress. We also provide ongoing support and educational opportunities along the way to keep you on your path to success.

We believe that weight loss should be viewed as a journey, not a sprint, that should be welcomed, not dreaded, so we incorporate flexibility into our programs. We have developed numerous treatment programs, which we individually tailor just for you. Based on our comprehensive evaluation of your current health-status, we educate you, weigh the pros and cons of your options, and let you build the program that suits you. We then chart your course, let you set the pace, and we walk with you every step of your journey.

Even before it became vogue, we understood the critical role that metabolism and gut health play in weight loss and management—which seems even more important now in light of the viral use of semaglutide. Our weight-loss programs integrate advanced diagnostics and personalized nutritional plans to reinvigorate and maintain your gut microbiome, and prepare you for safe, healthy and sustainable weight loss. This not only aids in effective weight loss but also promotes nutrient absorption, reduces inflammation and loss of body mass—and may reduce certain cravings or hunger—leading to improved outcomes as well as elevating your overall health.

Your genetic dispositions play a major role in determining what may or may not work for the wonderfully unique you. (It has quietly operated as your “family medical history” for years.) We have contracted with a world-class genetics’ laboratory (not “23 and Me” or any other genetic-lineage company, and they do not sell your information) to analyze your genetics from a medical perspective shedding light on your genetic predispositions. We send off a physical sample, and in return receive a comprehensive report of select genes and other markers that helps us prepare a weight-loss plan designed uniquely for you. When it comes to modern medicine, genetic analysis continues to be a game-changer, and we are proud to have interpretative training and experience on the matter and offer that service to you as a part of your membership.

Throughout your journey with us, our practitioners meet regularly with you in the form of monitoring, coaching, and other supportive touches. We also believe strongly in the power of shared-patient encounters—which is another way of saying bring along a spouse or a friend to join you in your journey.  The Cleveland Clinic recently reported a statistically significant increase in patient outcomes in shared-patient settings.  This should come as no surprise, as AA has shown the power of the mentor system in dealing with alcoholism for decades.  Bring someone along to share the experience, and to provide each other with daily support and encouragement when we are not there.  It works, and we welcome it. There is strength in numbers especially when it comes to weight loss.
