Obesity Treatment Therapists in NYC, New York

Weight loss is not just about willpower, calories, or cardio. For many people, chronic weight gain is a symptom—not the root issue. At Patients Medical in New York City, we use a functional medicine approach to uncover why your body is storing fat and what can be done to restore a healthy, sustainable metabolism.

If your current diet and fitness plan isn’t working, it’s time to treat the root causes—not just the weight.

What Is Integrative Weight Loss?

Integrative Weight Loss is a personalized medical program that blends:

Conventional diagnostics
Functional lab testing
Nutritional therapy
Hormone optimization
IV vitamin therapy
Stress and detox support

Every plan is unique—because your body is unique.

Our approach is clear:
Identify metabolic imbalances, optimize hormones and nutrient status, and design individualized weight loss strategies using evidence-based integrative medicine.

Our Whole-Person Integrative Care Model

At Patients Medical, weight loss is treated as a multi-factorial process. We combine traditional medical diagnostics with functional medicine, customized nutrition, metabolic optimization, and lifestyle interventions. Weight Loss Management is integrated into a broader plan designed for safe, sustainable, and long-term results.

How We Diagnose

Our weight loss assessments are comprehensive, evaluating multiple factors affecting metabolism and body composition:

Detailed health, diet, lifestyle, and weight history

Hormonal panels (thyroid, adrenal, reproductive hormones)

Metabolic testing and body composition analysis

Nutrient levels and deficiencies

Inflammation and oxidative stress markers

Cardiovascular and liver function assessments

Every test helps us uncover why your reproductive system isn’t functioning optimally — and how to correct it.

Common Symptoms Linked to Metabolic Imbalance

You may be struggling with more than just excess weight. Our patients often report:

Root Causes: Why Is Your Body Holding Onto Weight?

Through advanced testing, we identify the underlying dysfunctions that are disrupting your metabolism. Common root causes include:

Nutritional imbalances (low protein, high refined carbs)
Hormone imbalances (thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, insulin)
Sleep disruption and circadian rhythm disorders
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol
Toxin overload from plastics, heavy metals, or endocrine disruptors
Leaky gut and microbiome imbalance
Mitochondrial dysfunction (impaired energy production)
Insulin resistance or prediabetes

At Patients Medical, we see weight gain as a medical condition, not a character flaw.

Advanced Diagnostic Testing We Use

We customize every plan with data-driven insights using labs such as:

Fasting insulin, blood sugar, and HgbA1C

Cortisol and adrenal hormone testing

Thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3)

Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine)

Comprehensive stool and gut microbiome testing

Heavy metal and toxin screening

MTHFR and metabolic genetics

Food sensitivity and allergy testing
