We offer a variety of medical weight management programs in the San Diego area, including programs in Spanish and Teen programs specifically tailored to help those between the ages of 15-19. We also offer a full meal and partial meal replacement weight loss plans featuring OPTIFAST products. OPTIFAST weight loss supplements provide complete nutrition and can help you to safely and rapidly lose weight. Participants using OPTIFAST full fast or a modified full fast weight loss plan lose between three and five pounds every week, and those using a partial fast plan lose 2-3 pounds a week. Whatever program you choose, we will give you the resources and support you need to help you lose weight and keep it off.

As part of our medical weight management program we offer support every step of the way. In our programs you will attend weekly support group sessions that will keep you motivated. Health educators teach the nutrition, fitness, and behavior modification skills you will need to help you develop new and lasting health habits. Most importantly, our experienced staff will help you identify underlying mental and emotional issues that drive over-eating and hinder long term success. After you have lost your excess weight, our programs provide long-term maintenance support to help you keep on track and stay motivated.

Our medical weight management programs produce results that you can rejoice in! In addition to weight loss, patients see an overall improvement in their health.
