WHO THIS PROGRAM FITS Adults who: - Have hit a plateau on diet or exercise alone - Want medically informed support without committing to a full medical weight-loss program - Have metabolic concerns (insulin resistance, slow metabolism, energy issues) affecting weight - Prefer ongoing physician monitoring vs. unsupervised supplements or programs WHAT'S INCLUDED A 45-minute appointment ($60) covering: - Metabolic and nutritional assessment - Body composition analysis - Discussion of eating patterns, sleep, stress, and lifestyle factors - Individualized plan focused on metabolic optimization - Recommendations for nutrition, activity, and follow-up cadence - When clinically appropriate: discussion of supplements, micronutrient correction, or referral to the full Medical Weight-Loss program DIFFERENCE FROM MEDICAL WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAM Medical Weight-Loss is a comprehensive long-term program that may include FDA-approved medications. Weight Control is a focused metabolic-support consultation — useful as a starting point or as supplemental ongoing care alongside lifestyle changes. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Is this a substitute for a full weight-loss program? A: For some patients, yes. For others, this is a stepping stone. The initial consultation determines what fits your needs. Q: Will I get medication? A: This service focuses on metabolic optimization through nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies. If pharmacologic management would benefit you, Dr. Irizarry will discuss the Medical Weight-Loss program option. Q: Can I switch between Weight Control and Medical Weight-Loss? A: Yes. Plans can evolve based on your progress and preferences. LOCATION Wellness Medical Clinic, 349 Ave. Felisa Rincón de Gautier, Paseo Las Cumbres Shopping Center, Suite 204, San Juan, PR 00926.
