Metabolism issues can affect your energy, weight, and overall health. From unexplained weight gain to chronic fatigue, metabolism disorders are often misunderstood and overlooked. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a holistic approach to metabolism, combining conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to identify the root causes of your metabolism issues, rather than just masking symptoms. Our integrative care plan aims to restore your body’s natural metabolic balance for long-term results.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.

An imbalance in metabolism can lead to weight gain, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and more.
