Medical Weight Loss
We can build you a customized treatment plan for weight loss. Each plan is unique and highly tailored to support your particular lifestyle and goals. We do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to achieving desired body composition. However, with the right guidance and support, most of us can successfully lose weight and maintain a physique we are happy with.
Whole Foods
Eating well is the basis of any weight loss plan, but it’s not always intuitive. Every individual responds differently to different kinds of foods. Building a diet around whole foods is an important foundation for every healthy meal plan. However, some foods that seem healthy might give rise to negative outcomes in some people. We can help you figure out which dietary foundation is most likely to work for you.
Plant-Based Nutrition
Including a healthy percentage of fruits and vegetables in your diet is something most people know they should do. However, it can be harder to learn to properly combine different types for the best results. We can coach you through the process of learning how to select your veggies to give you the biggest boost.
Exercise
Creating a good exercise habit is an essential part of many diet plans. However, not everyone has the same capabilities or goals. We can help you find a way to exercise at a level that will best support your goals and dial in habits that keep your activity at a healthy level.
Nutraceuticals
Carefully selected dietary supplements can help support a healthy weight loss program.
Medication
In some cases, medication can be beneficial as a means to assist weight loss.
Compassionate Guidance
In all cases, Dr. Petralba is sensitive to how challenging it can be for an individual to change long-established habits. Weight loss is hard for everyone, but it is particularly hard for those who feel pressured or judged. She believes in providing compassionate support for everyone who seeks her help.
