True integration, not just a referral.

Most patients are left to coordinate their own care, going between a prescriber and a dietitian who rarely speak to each other directly. By The Weigh closes that gap. Weight is a medical, metabolic, and nutritional question, so we pair a board-certified endocrinologist with a Registered Dietitian in one coordinated plan.

Your physician
Comprehensive initial assessment of your hormonal and metabolic drivers
Follow-up visits approximately every three months to reassess labs, hormones, and progress
Additional visits if you're experiencing moderate to severe side effects
Coordinated
Your dietitian
Comprehensive nutrition assessment of your eating habits, lifestyle, and goals
Monthly follow-ups to fine-tune your eating plan and protect muscle, nutrients, and energy
Guidance on dietary side effects like nausea, low appetite, and GI changes, with a 2-week check-in after any new medication
Visit format

Available in person and by telehealth. Unlike most programs, which are largely telehealth-only, you'll always have access to an in-person appointment at our practice.

The hormone specialists

Weight has as much to do with hormones as it does with willpower.

Endocrinologists specialize specifically in the body's hormone systems, the same systems that regulate metabolism, appetite, and blood sugar. Your endocrinologist can assess whether a thyroid disorder, hormonal imbalance, or pituitary issue is contributing to your weight. And GLP-1 medications, which mimic a hormone the body already produces, sit squarely in the territory endocrinology has specialized in for decades.

A GLP-1 medication is one option your endocrinologist may consider, and only when it's medically appropriate.
The nutrition specialists

Losing weight and losing your health are not the same thing.

Registered Dietitians are the clinicians trained specifically in medical nutrition therapy, assessing protein needs, micronutrient status, and how your metabolism shifts as intake drops, not just building meal plans. Appetite falls faster than the body's need for protein, vitamins, and minerals, and left unaddressed, that gap can show up in ways that go beyond the scale, things like hair loss, excessive muscle loss, low energy, and long-term bone loss such as osteopenia or osteoporosis, to name a few. Your dietitian works closely with you throughout the program to keep that gap from becoming severe.

The scale only tells you one piece of the puzzle. Your dietitian makes sure you're not losing the other pieces that keep you healthy.

Fit, fine print, and value at a glance.

Fit

You want coordinated care, not two providers you stitch together yourself

Fit

You're on, or considering, a GLP-1 and want nutrition built around it

Fit

You've felt the disconnect between separate physician and dietitian care

Fit

You're investing in your own care directly, instead of letting insurance decide for you

Routine labs, included

Cortisol, TSH, lipid panel, A1c, CBC, and metabolic panel (including liver and kidney function) at no extra cost. Drawn at the start, at the midpoint, and as needed to track progress and watch for side effects.

Additional labs, if needed

Advanced labs (such as 24-hour urine cortisol, tumor markers, or pancreatic labs) only if clinically indicated, and may carry an additional charge.

Included

A coordinated team, not a solo provider

Included

All visits, no surprise billing

Included

Always available in person, not virtual-only
