It was never about willpower.
Medical weight loss built on metabolic testing. We look at your insulin, thyroid, hormones, and stress, then build a plan around what we find, with weight-loss medication when it fits.
Signs your metabolism may need support.
If these sound familiar, testing can show what's behind them.
“I came to Balanced Health for weight loss but ended up fixing my metabolism in the process.”
Find what's blocking you, then remove it.
Stubborn weight often has a reason. Testing shows which of these apply to you. Your plan may include nutrition, supplements, hormone or thyroid support, health coaching, and exercise guidance, plus EMSculpt Neo if you want to build muscle.
When cells stop responding well to insulin, your body stores more and burns less.
Our metabolic testing →A slow thyroid slows your metabolism.
Thyroid care →Perimenopause changes where and how you store fat.
Perimenopause care →Ongoing high cortisol drives weight around your middle.
Hormone wellness →Gut issues and low nutrients can quietly stall progress.
Gut health →The full metabolic picture.
How we test for each of these: nine markers, grouped by what they tell us.
Your plan can include more than one tool.
Not every option is right for everyone. Your provider will talk you through what makes sense for you.
The scale doesn't tell you enough.
InBody body composition scans show what a bathroom scale can't: how much of what you lose is fat and how much is muscle. Muscle supports your metabolism, so we track it at every visit and adjust your plan to protect it.
GLP-1 medications we prescribe may be compounded by a licensed pharmacy. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
What patients ask us most.
Do I have to be on medication?
+
No. Medication is one option among several, and for some patients it isn’t the right tool at all. Depending on your labs, your plan may focus on thyroid or hormone support, nutrition for insulin resistance, or gut and stress work instead.
What if I’ve tried everything already?
+
Many of our patients have. That’s why we start with comprehensive labs, to look for what may be working against you.
Am I a candidate if I only have 15-20 lbs to lose?
+
Yes. This program is about metabolic health, not a number on the scale. Stubborn weight in a smaller range can still point to a hormonal or metabolic issue worth testing for.
How is this different from a commercial weight loss program?
+
We start with labs and a provider visit, build a plan around your results, and adjust it as your results come in.
Do you offer virtual visits?
+
Yes. We offer in-office and virtual visits. Virtual visits are available to patients located in New Jersey.
What does it cost? Will insurance cover it?
+
We’re a cash-based practice, so care isn’t billed through insurance. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds, and we offer payment plans. Pricing is covered on your free discovery call, before you commit to anything.
