It is a popular belief that obesity is simply the consequence of excessive caloric intake and insufficient calorie burning. While this is true for most cases of mild overweight, experience with hundreds of overweight children has taught me that after they achieve a certain level of overweight, there could be a significant metabolic disarray and hormonal imbalance contributing to weight gain which may be difficult to overcome with lifestyle changes alone.
I am able to offer a comprehensive, individualized medical, dietary and physical activity evaluation and treatment plan to address all aspects of the problem. Dietary/physical activity evaluation and counseling is performed at our center to save you time.
