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

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

Brief description of the treatment process:

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 and careful Progress Monitoring with appropriate 'course correction' based on your response to treatment and changes in diet to keep your diet interesting and sustainable.)
