The journey begins here.
Dr. William Summers is board certified in both gynecology and obesity medicine, with more than 35 years in practice. Our medically-supervised weight loss programs are affordable, safe, effective, and designed around your specific needs — with one-on-one nutritional and exercise counseling at every step.
It isn’t willpower. It’s your endocrine system.
Obesity in this country has gone from about 10% of adults after World War II to nearly 40% today, and it’s now associated with more than 200 other diseases. That isn’t a national failure of discipline — it’s biology.
When we become overweight, the hormone signals that regulate hunger, fullness and fat storage stop working the way they should. GLP-1. GIP. Glucagon. Several others. Once those signals are off, we gain weight unfairly — and the more weight we gain, the further off they go. It compounds.
Dr. Summers puts it simply: if your thyroid is low, nobody asks whether you tried harder. They treat the thyroid. These are the same kind of signals, and they can be targeted the same way.
That’s why most people arrive here frustrated. They’ve lost weight before. It came back, and then some. Understanding why is where treatment starts.
A program built around you
We provide weight loss and maintenance solutions determined by each patient’s unique medical needs, goals, and individual requirements. Your program may include one-on-one nutritional and exercise counseling, prescription appetite suppressant medications, Vitamin B6–B12–Lipotropic injections and/or tablets, and additional support based on your needs.
Our clinic offers a variety of treatment approaches that can be combined in unique ways to address the specific weight-management needs and challenges of each patient.
What we’ll actually ask you to change
Two things carry most of the weight, and neither is a starvation diet.
Carbohydrates. Not all are equal. Naturally occurring, complex carbohydrates enter the bloodstream under tight regulatory control. Highly refined, man-made sugars enter fast and push the body toward fat storage. For most patients we target under roughly 100 grams of total carbohydrate a day.
Protein. Your metabolic rate tracks your muscle mass — as Dr. Summers says, “if you want to burn more calories, add a little muscle.” When you lose fat without enough dietary protein, your body takes the amino acids it needs from muscle, your daily calorie requirement drops, and progress stalls. That’s why we recommend more protein than you’ll read elsewhere: over 120 g a day for women, over 160 g for men.
Whatever we do has to be something you can keep doing. Your body is built to reverse weight loss — understanding that is what makes a plan durable instead of another round trip.
