Weight Management

Weight management difficulties most commonly stem from a combination of genetic, biologic and environmental factors.   Certain individuals in our society are ‘weight prone’ and some are ‘weight resistant.’  The majority of adults in the US and a growing number of children in the US are ‘weight prone.’

Seattle Performance Medicine specializes in evaluation and treatment of adults and children with weight imbalance and we screen for potential metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, leptin resistance, testosterone insufficiency and other endocrine disorders.  Once the root of the problem is ascertained, we develop an individualized plan emphasizing medical treatment with structured guidance in nutrition, exercise and stress management where applicable.

We don’t believe in the typical ‘calories in, calories out’ philosophy which fails to recognize the complexity of weight issues and ignores the current research on weight and metabolism.  We also specialize in reversal of Pre-Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Management.
