Treatment Overview

The Benefits of a Medical Weight-Loss Program

Starting a new weight-loss program can be intimidating. That’s especially true if you’ve lost weight in the past only to regain it.

We understand, and we’re here to help. Our medically supervised weight-loss program has helped our patients achieve successful results.

Sure, fad diets can provide quick weight loss, yet most people who complete them eventually gain their weight back. Fortunately, our program isn’t a fad diet, and you can achieve long-term results.

Dr. Berutti and Melanie Martin, PA, want to help you achieve a healthier lifestyle and a healthier weight. We also understand the importance of maintaining your weight loss after going through the program so that you can live a long and healthy life.

How GLP-1s Work

Injectable medications can regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and improve insulin sensitivity. Plus, they can help people achieve significant weight loss: up to 15% of total body weight.

GLP-1 injections mimic the effects of a naturally occurring peptide called Glucagon-like peptide 1. Many studies have shown that this peptide reduces appetite and helps control blood sugar.

When you take one of these medications, your appetite will drastically reduce. Plus, you’ll lose the cravings for sweets and sugary foods. However, if you don’t eat healthy foods, you won’t feel well physically throughout the program. Exercise and adequate protein intake are recommended, as they help prevent changes in sagging skin as you lose weight.

The major benefit you will feel, which will help you lose weight, is that GLP-1 reduces your appetite and makes you feel fuller for longer periods of time. It also keeps you in fat-burning mode. Additional health benefits are that this medication targets fat cells and regulates your blood sugar. It also helps to reduce the production of plaque in blood vessels.

These medications can cause side effects such as tiredness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Nausea usually lessens as you continue the medications. If any of these side effects last or get worse, let us know so we can help.

Our Approach

A Solution That Works

What makes our program different from other weight-loss treatment programs and memberships?

Functional Medicine Approach

Our medically supervised weight-loss programs help patients achieve their ideal weight safely. We help identify the root cause of a patient’s inability to lose weight and offer comprehensive medical treatments, such as GLP-1 injections, prescriptions, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations.

Lab Testing

We provide comprehensive lab testing before you start. This ensures we tailor your program to your specific needs.

Genetic Testing

We also offer NutriGen*, a genetic test to customize your diet, wellness, and weight-loss planning. This test determines which foods are best for your body. It also shows potential nutrient deficiencies and gives you recommendations to ensure you’re getting the right vitamins and minerals.

 

 

Weight-Loss Treatment Options

Medications

Other options for weight-loss treatment include Contrave, oral phentermine, phendimetrazine, and Qsymia. Each of these medications has been proven to be beneficial for patients in need of medically supervised weight loss.

GLP-1 Injectables

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a type of medication that can help with weight loss and improved blood sugar control. Studies have shown that GLP-1 medications decrease food cravings, suppress appetite, and help control blood sugar.

At DLHC, we offer a range of GLP-1 injections. Visit us for a consultation, and we can discuss which brand is right for you.

  • Weekly injections
  • Compliments diet and exercise
Sleep Optimization

Getting enough sleep is vital to maintaining your optimal weight and improving energy levels to stay motivated to exercise.

Cortisol Balance

Stress is one of the leading causes of weight gain. Managing stress effectively helps keep cortisol levels under control, which aids in preventing weight fluctuations. At DLHC, we routinely screen for cortisol imbalances. Our team walks you through every step of the process, helping you achieve your target weight.

  • Controls metabolism
  • Reduces mental strain
  • Helps manage other hormones
Detoxification

Our environment is heavily contaminated with toxins, which is contributing significantly to the obesity epidemic. These toxins can disrupt hormonal balance and interfere with normal metabolism, potentially leading to weight gain. Removing toxins from your body can help bring balance to every system, which can make it easier for you to lose weight.

    I am more than pleased that I’ve found Dr. Berutti! She is my personal physician as well as my anti-aging doctor. She is Board-Certified in both Internal Medicine as well as Anti-Aging Medicine. Plus, she is a DO which is very important to me. She understands and believes in a holistic approach to health. I first visited Dr. Berutti in November 2016. After a course of tests – bone density, extensive blood work, and breast exam, etc. she began my bio-identical hormone treatment in February 2017. In a matter of 3 weeks, I began to feel more energetic, happier and stronger. My skin and hair both got softer and healthier. I have absolutely no aches and pains and for the first time in years, I am enjoying being more active…desiring to work out! My husband is hoping to jump on the HRT bandwagon soon. He has seen the changes in me and will be visiting Dr. Berutti in July. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Berutti … she listens, she cares and most of all she delivers!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Berutti's for about 9 months and I have most definitely improved my heath and quality of life since I first saw her as a patient and began her recommendations and medical guidance for Hormone Replacement Therapy. I find Dr. Berutti extremely thorough and very specialized in this area of medical treatment. She understands how to balance hormones throughout the body and she is not a doctor that prescribes a one size fits all treatment plan. It takes time to get everything back in balance and I would encourage anyone that seeks this type of treatment to be patient and follow her advise and recommendations. It takes time to get dosages correct and everything in balance. NO more hot flashes for me. My energy level is so much better. Everything is better. I hope that she will continue to be my "anti-aging hormone balance" doctor for many, many years to come. She is truly the best and I highly recommend her.

    I just wanted to say hello and THANK YOU for all you have done for Ruth and me over the years. We are doing well and thanks to your help, support and kindness when we were at our lowest point and ready to give up. We were able to get through the roughest time in our lives in part to your help and support. You came to our aid and supported us when we were ready to throw in the towel. We sure miss you and hope you are doing well. As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to make sure I said THANK YOU to one of the kindest people I have ever met. You were always more than just a doctor, you are our caregiver, wizard of all things big and small and most of all a friend. I will never forget you and all that you did for us.

    Excellent care!! Started with Dr. Berutti 2 years ago. Vast knowledge. Another doctor who attended medical school with her told me, “She is very smart, you can trust anything she tells you,” and indeed I do. I went to her depressed, lethargic (could hardly get out of bed), no energy, no stamina, feeling arthritic, failing memory, aggressive at times, and the list goes on & on. I live 100 miles away, so every appointment after the first was via telephone conference (very convenient.) Dr. Berutti is very personable, pays constant attention to details, sincerely interested in what she can do to give you a dynamic life! We started with an extensive and lengthy interview (1+ hours), followed by a barrage of tests near home (blood, saliva, mammo, pap, history questionnaire, bone density, etc.) Everything but fingerprints!! Now I feel and act much, much better. Hard to explain what it’s like to live joyously again.... My deepest Gratitude to Dr. Lyn Berutti.
