A Scientific Approach to Weight Management Weight gain is rarely a matter of willpower alone. It often involves:
- Insulin resistance
- Hormonal imbalance
- Metabolic adaptation
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Inflammatory processes
- Stress physiology
- Age-related muscle loss
- Dr. Decotiis begins every program with advanced metabolic and laboratory evaluation to identify the biological drivers of weight gain.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment
Each patient undergoes individualized testing that may include:
- Resting metabolic rate analysis
- Body composition testing (fat mass, lean mass, hydration)
- Insulin and glucose markers
- Lipid panel
- Thyroid function testing
- Hormone evaluation
- Inflammatory markers
- This data allows Dr. Decotiis to construct a precision-based, personalized treatment plan tailored to your physiology.
FDA-Approved Prescription Weight Loss Medications
As a Board-Certified Obesity Medicine physician, Dr. Decotiis prescribes FDA-approved medications when clinically appropriate, including:
- Semaglutide
- Tirzepatide
- Other GLP-1 receptor-based therapies (Ozempic, Mounjourno, etc).
These medications work by:
- Improving insulin sensitivity
- Regulating appetite signaling
- Supporting sustainable fat reduction
- Enhancing metabolic efficiency
- All medications are prescribed within a structured medical program and monitored closely for safety and efficacy.
Advanced Metabolic & Hormonal Optimization
Many patients struggling with weight gain also experience hormonal shifts, particularly during perimenopause, menopause, or andropause.
Dr. Decotiis integrates:
- Bioidentical hormone optimization
- Thyroid support
- Insulin regulation

Peptide Therapy & Body Composition Support

- Preserve lean muscle mass
- Improve recovery

- Preservation of muscle mass
- Reduction of visceral fat
- Improved cardiometabolic markers
- Sustainable behavioral modification
- Long-term maintenance planning
