Weight Loss Programs

Dr. Rubin offers a strategic weight loss program that begins with a functional evaluation of your body. This evaluation includes:

A review of your nutritional history
Thyroid exam
A review of hormone functions
A review of what has and hasn’t worked so far

Dr. Rubin creates a personalized medical plan tailored to fit your specific weight loss journey based on the results of the evaluation. This plan may include a Detoxification Program, aiming to eliminate your body of any toxins that may be weakening your metabolism. The plan may also include a specialized diet, sarcotropin therapy, or a series of physical activity suggestions.
