Providing comprehensive, compassionate, evidence-based care for people seeking to lose weight to improve their health.
Our goal is to create a therapeutic partnership with each patient. Your history and challenges with weight are unique and your treatment plan should be too. Care includes screening for medications/medical conditions that may be impacting your weight, prescription of FDA-approved medications for weight management (if medically appropriate and desired), personalized nutrition advice and plans that take into account your needs, preferences, and lifestyle, guidance on physical activity, coaching/problem-solving to address individual challenges that are impeding your progress, and addressing other factors that may contribute to difficulties in losing weight (such as sleep disturbances, hormonal shifts, chronic stress, etc.).
If you feel like the only advice your physician has given is “eat less and move more,” Alega is here to give you more - more options, more empathy and more understanding of the complexity of weight management. We are in a new era, where we have effective medications for weight loss (and more coming), endoscopic and surgical weight loss procedures, wearable tools and trackers, and more. Together, we can treat obesity like the chronic disease that it is and empower you to successfully lose weight and improve your overall health.
