• Concierge-level weight management care from a world-renowned obesity specialist
• Metabolically and medically tailored individual weight loss program
• Exclusive, one-on-one nutrition and health promotion counseling
• Personalized program to fit your unique lifestyle

Participants work closely with an internationally known obesity expert with more than 35 years of experience in counseling over 15,000 participants for weight loss. This personally tailored, scientific weight management program provides a comprehensive care plan to create lasting health improvement.

A diet need not be tasteless or leave you feeling hungry. There are many factors that impact a personalized diet plan. Your diet plan is created based on information such as:

• Your current and past health conditions and metabolic profile
• Family history 
• Food preferences (likes, dislikes, allergies and aversions)
• Lifestyle and occupation
• Daily energy requirement and activity level

 

Dr. Dhurandhar works collaboratively with your medical provider in a comprehensive program aimed at total health. Additionally, we provide your healthcare professional with support should you wish to consider additional treatments such as obesity medications or weight loss surgery.

The overall emphasis is to work with you in your weight management effort, by suggesting a lifestyle intervention that is developed specifically for you!

Dr. Dhurandhar understands that like any other chronic disease such as diabetes or high blood pressure, obesity is a serious medical condition and not a character flaw. Obesity management is not limited to only reducing weight, but involves care of multiple body systems that may be affected. Dr. Dhurandhar coordinates obesity management treatment with each patient's medical care provider to treat the whole person. The nutritional counseling in his weight management program follows the CAP-Lifestyle Intervention Plan:

Compatibility Based – takes your physical and mental health, lifestyle, dietary and other preferences, allergies, and culture into account

Allocation Focused – guides you on what, when, and how much to eat and what type and amounts of physical activity should be done based on your unique situation

Progress Monitoring - appropriate course correction based on your response to treatment and changes in diet to keep your diet interesting and sustainable

Parvo® Metabolic Cart

The Parvo® Metabolic Cart is a state-of-the-art system that utilizes indirect calorimetry to assess your basic metabolism (the amount of energy your body uses while resting). This tells us about the number of calories you may need to ingest each day by simply measuring the amount of oxygen consumed and the amount of carbon dioxide eliminated by your body.

This device can measure metabolic and respiratory function with high precision. It’s widely trusted in clinical, research, and athletic performance settings to assess oxygen consumption (VO₂), carbon dioxide production (VCO₂), and energy expenditure.

By measuring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, it can calculate Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) or Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) and detect how much fat versus carbohydrate is being burned for energy. 

 

Testing Details

• Duration: Approximately 15-20 minutes. Measurements are performed fully clothed while you are lying still under a comfortable, clear hood, on a bed, in a quiet private room.
• Requirements: Avoid excess food or fluids (including water) within 24 hours prior to testing. Avoid exercise or alcohol intake wihtin 12 hours prior to testing. Do not consume food or fluids (including water) within 3 hours prior to testing. You must refrain from smoking or consuming nicotine products for at least 4-6 hours prior to testing.
• Exclusions: If you are ill (cold, flu, fever, COVID-19, etc.) you will not be allowed to perform this test.

MedGem® Metabolic Test

The MedGem® device is a simplified tool which uses indirect calorimetry to measure your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) — the amount of energy your body uses at rest. The test is quick and easy to perform, and it helps determine the number of calories you may need to consume each day. The calorie needs are estimated by simply measuring the amount of oxygen consumed and the amount of carbon dioxide eliminated by your body.

 

Testing Details

Pre-Bariatric Surgery Services

(This service requires a referral from your bariatric surgeon.)

To support your preparation for bariatric surgery, we offer comprehensive pre-surgical evaluations designed to ensure you are fully equipped—both nutritionally and psychologically—for the journey ahead. These services are conducted in close collaboration with your surgical team and tailored to meet the guidelines of your insurance provider, as well as your individual needs.

Why These Services Matter

Pre-bariatric assessments are more than just procedural requirements—they are critical tools for ensuring that you are mentally and physically prepared for the significant lifestyle changes following surgery. By addressing potential challenges early and establishing a solid foundation for success, our multidisciplinary team is here to help you make the most of your bariatric surgery and improve your long-term health and quality of life.

Presurgical Nutrition Assessment

Durations: 50-minute initial appointment (with follow-up sessions as needed)

As part of the preoperative requirements, you will undergo a thorough nutritional evaluation with a registered dietitian. This assessment is designed to review your current eating habits, identify potential nutritional deficiencies, and provide the education needed to prepare you for the dietary changes associated with bariatric surgery.

In partnership with your bariatric surgeon, we will also coordinate any additional nutrition follow-up sessions required prior to surgery. The number of follow-up appointments will depend on your insurance coverage and personal readiness for surgery.

 

Presurgical Psychological Evaluation (temporarily unavailable)

Includes standardized psychological testing, interpretation, and a 50-minute clinical interview

A comprehensive psychological screening is a standard requirement before undergoing bariatric surgery. This evaluation is conducted by a licensed mental health professional and includes both a clinical interview and formal psychological testing.

The goal of this assessment is to identify any psychological or behavioral factors that may impact your surgical outcomes or long-term weight management. This process not only helps fulfill surgical prerequisites but also offers valuable insight and strategies to support your emotional and behavioral well-being throughout your weight loss journey.
