W8MD offers Very Calorie, medically proven meal replacement plans with 800-1200 calories under medical supervison for safe and effective weight loss and wellbeing. Individual
ized Approach
Our physicians and the entire staff at W8MD medical weight loss centers are committed to offering a comprehensive and individualized approach. Our physicians partner with each patient to develop a custom weight management program to best meet their individual needs. Our programs take into account lifestyle, medical history, medications taken on a regular basis and also special dietary needs. W8MD physicians teach each patient about a healthy approach to weight loss, while offering the very best strategies bariatric medicine has to offer. Partnership with you
A very important part of the program is his partnership with the patients to achieve long term healthy eating habits through comprehensive dietary education, teaching about behavior modification and lifestyle changes to achieve long term success. In combination with reduced calorie diets, behavior modification, exercise and nutritional education, our physicians might be able to prescribe certain weight loss medication to eligible patients. Education
Because of their extensive training in the treatment of obesity, W8MD physicians offer the highest qualification to design individualized medical weight loss treatments tailored for each patient, in addition to offering life-long weight loss maintenance plans. Our physicians are passionate about educating the public on the metabolic effects of weight and have appeared on many Radio and TV interviews. W8MD Medical Weight Loss Program, unlike so many other “fad diets” and “gimmicky quick weight loss program” that offer unrealistic outcomes, our physicians offer each patient a real life solution. W8MD Medical Weight Loss receives a large number of referrals from satisfied patients, as well as referrals from Family doctors, Internal Medicine doctors, Cardiologist, and other physician specialties. At W8MD, we only partner with our patients for the metabolic syndrome(Insulin Resistance) and work with our patient’s primary physicians to ensure long term improved health of the associated health problems that accompany obesity. The primary or the patient’s treating physician will manage the associated medical conditions such as high cholesterol while our role is to reverse the underlying insulin resistance and reduce inflammation caused by the abdominal fat to improve overall health and well being. Health Insurances Accepted
We are one of the very few bariatric programs in the country that will try to work with your health insurance to have these services covered. Medicare recently approved coverage for intensive behaviour therapy for weight loss for upto 6 months and if there was improvement to certain extent, the coverage can be extended. While individual plans vary, many other private insurances also cover for weight reduction and behaviour counseling for weight, and nutriton. Should your insurance not cover for these services, the consultation is only $90.00 USD which is one of the most affordable. Wellness is Our Mission
The central principle to understanding why patients gain weight is to understand the role hormones such as Insulin play in the development of weight gain. Since the introduction of food pyramid which was flawed and recently withdrawn, our understanding has been skewed to eating less fat but high carbohydrate foods that in turn lead to insulin resistance. Insulin being an anabolic or body building hormone, leads to abdominal or central weight gain(fat belly). The fat in and around the adbomen produces inflamatory chemicals which can lead to many other health problems as inflammation drives many deseases. We also understand the importance of Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio, and plant based antioxidants called polyphenols play in reducing overall body inflammation and integrate this in our program help to reduce inflammation. Our goal at W8MD Wellness Programs, is to attempt to reverse the underlying insulin resistance to reduce overall inflammation for keeping you well and healthy. Our Passion

Our physicians partner with each patient to combat the chronic illness of obesity begins with the patient and ultimately perpetuates into the household.
