A holistic approach to healthcare
The Metabolic Weight Management Program is a science-backed, high-touch approach to achieving sustainable weight loss and better metabolic health. This hybrid program blends personalized one-on-one sessions with a registered dietitian and dynamic group coaching every other week, giving you the best of both worlds: expert guidance tailored to your unique needs and the motivation and accountability that comes from a supportive community.
Over 13 weeks, you’ll focus on the core pillars of metabolic health—hydration, balanced eating, physical activity, mindful eating, stress management, and quality sleep. Your progress is continuously tracked and adjusted to help you not only reach your goals but maintain them long-term.

What’s Included:
Comprehensive Wellness Assessments Start strong and finish stronger. At the beginning and end of your program, we’ll complete an in-depth wellness assessment—including weight, body composition, nutrition habits, and lifestyle behaviors. These insights help us track your progress and fine-tune your personalized plan for the best possible results.
Personalized 1:1 Nutrition Sessions Work one-on-one with a registered dietitian to create a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan designed specifically for your health goals and medical needs. Each session provides expert guidance, practical strategies, and encouragement to help you make lasting changes.
Group Support for Motivation & Accountability Every other week, join our group classes for community support, expert coaching, and added accountability. These sessions are designed to keep you focused, motivated, and inspired as you build healthy habits alongside others on the same journey.
Continued Care Beyond 13 Weeks Your progress doesn’t stop at the end of the program. After 13 weeks, you’ll meet with your dietitian to evaluate your results and create a Phase 2 care plan. This might include continuing with the hybrid schedule, shifting to only 1:1 or group sessions, or meeting less frequently—whatever helps you maintain and build on your success.
Coordinated Care with Your Physician With your permission, we’ll share progress reports with your physician, outlining your health improvements and any plan updates. This ensures a collaborative, whole-health approach to your care.
Expert Guidance & Ongoing Support Our team of registered dietitians and health coaches provides consistent check-ins, personalized feedback, and expert advice to keep you on track, help you overcome challenges, and celebrate every success along the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Metabolic Weight Management Program?
Our program is a structured, medically supervised nutrition and lifestyle program designed to support sustainable weight management. It is led by registered dietitians and focuses on medical nutrition therapy (MNT) with evidence-based strategies for metabolic health, weight loss, and long-term wellness.
2. How does insurance billing work for this program?
We will bill your insurance for 1:1 and group MNT sessions whenever coverage is available. Most major insurance plans cover MNT. Before starting, our team will verify your benefits and confirm coverage for 1:1 and the group MNT program.
3. Do I need a referral from my primary care physician (or other healthcare provider) to participate in this program?
Rarely, an insurance plan may require a referral from your primary care physician for medical nutrition therapy. If your plan requires a referral, we will guide you through the process to make sure all documentation is in place before your first session.
4. Why do you need my health insurance information?
We need your health insurance information so we can verify your coverage and bill your insurance company for your 1:1 and group program sessions.
5. Why do you need my credit or debit card information if I decide to join the Metabolic Weight Management Program?
We require a credit or debit card on file to cover any fees for missed 1:1 appointments or late cancellations (per our 48-hour cancellation policy). This ensures a smooth process and avoids interruptions in your care.
6. What is the cancellation policy?
We have a 48-hour cancellation policy for all 1:1 appointments. If you cancel or reschedule within less than 48 hours of your appointment time, or if you miss your appointment without notice, a fee will apply. This ensures that appointment slots remain available for other patients in need.
7. Are there any rules or guidelines for this program?
Yes. To get the most out of this program, we ask that participants:
Attend all scheduled sessions.
Actively participate and complete session assignments.
Use Healthie, our secure EHR portal, to access program materials, communicate with your dietitian, and track progress.
These guidelines help you stay accountable and ensure program effectiveness.
8. I already have a wellness account with the city. Do I have to create another account in Healthie, the Electronic Health Record (EHR) portal if I join The Metabolic Weight Management Program?
Yes. Healthie is our secure electronic health record (EHR) system that houses your nutrition records, appointments, and program materials. Even if you have a city wellness account, you will need to create a Healthie account to participate in the program.

No. There are no additional costs to this program as our program is covered by your health insurance. However, late cancellations for 1:1 or missed 1:1 appointments will incur fees per our late cancellation policy.
10. I am seeing a dietitian at another practice. Can I still join this program?

11. I am already seeing a dietitian at your practice. Can I still join this program?
Yes. If you are currently a patient in our practice, you may still enroll in the program. We will coordinate your care so there is no overlap or duplication of services.
