At our Center, we believe in using a comprehensive approach to weight management, as opposed to one-size-fits-all weight loss programs that promise quick fixes, but do not address underlying causes of obesity or strategies for sustained change. Benefit from the expertise of two board-certified cardiologists, a clinical psychologist, a registered dietitian, and an exercise physiologist as you work toward your personal goals. Our holistic approach promotes a unique knowledge of the mind-body relationship, with built-in flexibility to meet your particular health and fitness needs. Everyone who joins our program receives a blood test, cardiac evaluation, and metabolic testing, as well as a consultation with each type of health professional that comprises our staff. At the Virginia Heart Comprehensive Weight Management Institute, our targets of treatment include:

• Heart Health: our board-certified cardiologists screen for cardiovascular conditions associated with obesity
• Nutrition Planning and Accountability: our registered dietitian conducts metabolic testing and generates an individualized plan for making healthier food choices for a lifetime
• Physical Fitness Promotion: our exercise physiologist maps out strategies for decreasing body fat and increasing muscle
• Psychological Impact: our licensed clinical psychologist focuses on the thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that can affect healthy living
