Comprehensive Weight Management

Sustainable, medically guided weight loss tailored to your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.

Lifestyle & Metabolic Health

Losing weight is only one part of improving your health. Sustainable results come from understanding why your body is holding onto weight and creating a plan that works with your metabolism, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Dr Tara Tarantino takes a comprehensive approach that goes far beyond calories and exercise. We evaluate the factors that influence your health, including:

  • Nutrition and eating habits

  • Physical activity and strength

  • Body composition (InBody 580)

  • Sleep quality

  • Stress and recovery

  • Hormonal and metabolic health

  • Laboratory evaluation

  • Prescription medications when appropriate

  • Physician-grade supplements

  • Accountability and ongoing coaching

Whether you simply need medication management or you're looking for a complete lifestyle transformation with personalized coaching, nutrition, and body composition tracking, we have a program designed to meet you where you are.

Nutrition Made Simple with HMR

Healthy eating shouldn't have to be complicated.

We're proud to partner with the HMR Program to offer convenient, nutritionally complete meal replacements—including shakes, bars, and delicious microwave-ready meals. HMR removes the guesswork from meal planning while helping control hunger, reduce food noise, preserve lean muscle, and build sustainable habits.

HMR meal plans are available for patients enrolled in Tier 2 and Tier 3 and can be incorporated based on your individual goals and preferences but all patients have access to discounted HMR meals, shakes, and bars.
