Medically Guided Weight Loss
by Medical Wellness Doc

By Dr. Nisha Kuruvadi, DO, DipABOM, DipABLM

Triple Board-Certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine
Physician-Led Program — Many weight loss programs are not overseen by a doctor.
Here, you receive expert care from a triple board-certified physician.

What Makes This Program Different?

Unlike general diet plans, med spas, or commercial clinics, this program is run by a Triple BoardCertified Physician with specialized training in Obesity Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Lifestyle
Medicine. Whether your goals are to lose weight, reverse diabetes, lower blood pressure, improve
cholesterol, or feel better in your body, this program provides medical-grade, evidence-based, and
personalized care with long-term health in mind.

Supportive, Non-Judgmental Approach

Advanced Body Composition Analysis
at Every Visit 

Unlike most weight loss programs that just track your weight, we use the latest, most advanced
Seca body composition scale—one of the most accurate and trusted tools available in the medical field today!


This isn’t just a fancy scale. It uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to give a full picture of
your health and body composition, including

Visceral fat.png

Visceral fat (the deeper, more dangerous fat around your organs)

And much more!

Why does this matter?

Because the goal is not just weight loss – it’s fat loss while preserving lean muscle. Without this kind
of detailed insight, many people lose weight the wrong way and end up losing muscle instead of fat,
which can slow metabolism and harm long-term success.
This level of analysis is typically a $50–$100 charge per scan at other clinics, but it’s included for
free at our clinic with every visit!

This is one of the most valuable and unique features of our program and a key reason patients choose us over generic or commercial weight loss clinics.

Why We Only Prescribe FDA-Approved Medications

We do not prescribe compounded weight loss medications. Here’s why:

❌ Not FDA-approved
❌ May contain inconsistent or inaccurate ingredients
❌ Often illegal when branded medications are available
❌ More side effects and less effectiveness

✅ We only prescribe FDA-approved medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, and Mounjaro
✅ Clinically proven, safely regulated, and delivered in exact dosages

Insurance & Payment Information

This weight management program is considered a specialist-level service due to the significant
time, expertise, and personalized care involved. Therefore, insurance coverage is handled
differently than general primary care.

For weight management, we accept:
✅ Medicare
✅ Most PPO insurance plans


Patients with HMO plans (including SCMG) or Medi-Cal are welcome to participate through our
self-pay options.


➡ Please note: Although we accept SCMG for primary care, SCMG and other HMO networks do not
cover this specialized weight management program.

Self-pay plans are available to all patients regardless of insurance type.
