— WEIGHT LOSS MANAGEMENT —
Weight management rooted in science, delivered with care.
If you have spent years fighting your weight and feel like your body is working against you, it probably is. Obesity medicine treats weight as the chronic medical condition it is, with real tools, real science, and a physician who takes it seriously.
— The APPROACH
A whole-person program for lasting results
Obesity medicine is a board-certified specialty that addresses weight as a complex disease shaped by hormones, metabolism, genetics, and environment. It goes far beyond eat less, move more.
At Skona Health, treatment combines GLP-1 therapy where appropriate, nutrition counseling tailored to your background and food culture, metabolic lab monitoring, and monthly visits with Dr. Krishnan, who is board certified in Obesity Medicine.
About GLP-1 therapy
GLP-1 medications work by signaling fullness, slowing stomach emptying, and regulating blood sugar. They are a powerful evidence-based tool for patients with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 or above with a weight-related health condition. Medication is one part of a broader plan, never the whole strategy.
— SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
What we know to be true
Not a willpower problem
The body actively resists weight loss by slowing metabolism and increasing hunger hormones. This is biology, not a character flaw.
You do not have to be severely obese
Patients with a BMI of 27 or above with related conditions often benefit most from early intervention. You do not have to wait until things get worse.
Medication is not the easy way out
We do not shame people for taking medication for diabetes or depression. Obesity deserves the same evidence-based medical respect.
Sustainable beats dramatic
Crash diets produce short-term results and long-term harm. The goal at Skona Health is metabolic health and lasting change, not a number on a scale.
