Medical Weight Management • Madison Avenue
Sustainable Weight Loss, Designed Around You
You've tried the diets. You've pushed through the programs. Yet the scale won't budge—or the weight keeps coming back. At Genesis Health, we look deeper to understand why your body is holding on, then create a personalized plan that works with your metabolism, not against it.
The Real Challenge
Why Diets Alone Don't Work
"Eat less, move more" sounds simple—but if willpower were the answer, you'd have solved this long ago. The truth is, your metabolism, hormones, and gut health all influence how your body stores and releases energy.
Hormonal Imbalances
Thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and cortisol dysregulation can make weight management nearly impossible—no matter how carefully you eat.
Metabolic Adaptation
Years of yo-yo dieting can slow your metabolism. Your body learns to hold onto weight as a protective mechanism.
Gut Microbiome
Emerging research shows that gut bacteria influence how you extract calories from food and store fat. An imbalanced microbiome can undermine your efforts.
Our Approach

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike calorie-counting programs or one-size-fits-all approaches, we start by understanding your unique biology. Through comprehensive testing, we identify factors like hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, or gut health issues that may be contributing to your challenges. Your plan is then built around these findings—not generic guidelines.
When appropriate and medically indicated, we may recommend FDA-approved medications as part of a comprehensive approach. However, medication is never the only solution—it's one tool among many. We'll discuss all options during your consultation and determine what makes sense for your specific situation and goals.
We don't believe in deprivation or unsustainable restriction. Instead, we focus on optimizing your nutrition based on your body's needs, your lifestyle, and your preferences. The goal is to find an approach you can maintain for the long term—not a temporary fix that leaves you feeling deprived.
Every person's body responds differently, and sustainable results take time. Many patients notice improvements in energy and overall wellbeing within the first few weeks. Body composition changes typically become apparent over several months. We focus on lasting transformation, not rapid weight loss that rebounds.
We accept most major insurance plans for medical weight management services. Coverage varies by plan and may depend on your specific health conditions. Our team can help verify your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs during the scheduling process.
Your initial consultation is a comprehensive 60-minute visit where we review your complete health history, discuss your goals and challenges, perform necessary measurements, and order appropriate lab work. You'll leave with a clear understanding of next steps and what to expect from your personalized program.
