Weight Management, Nutrition Coaching & Lifestyle Medicine in Beverly Hills
Our Concierge Approach to Weight Management, Nutrition Coaching & Lifestyle Medicine
Sustainable weight management requires more than focusing on a number on the scale. Our approach considers the factors that influence weight, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, nutrition, physical activity, sleep, medications, and long-term behavior within a comprehensive physician relationship.
Dr. Omeed Warej brings expertise in both internal medicine and cardiovascular disease to weight and lifestyle management. His training includes:
We begin by understanding your current health, goals, medical history, medications, laboratory results, and prior weight-management experiences. Depending on your circumstances, our evaluation may include cardiometabolic markers, body composition, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other factors that can influence health and weight over time.
Nutrition coaching provides practical support for translating medical recommendations into sustainable daily habits. Lifestyle medicine extends that work to the behaviors that influence long-term health, including physical activity, sleep, stress management, and other modifiable factors.
Our goal is to create a strategy that can evolve with you. If you’ve been considering weight management, nutrition coaching, or lifestyle medicine in Beverly Hills, physician oversight provides a clinical framework for making informed decisions about nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and when appropriate, medication-based treatment.
When Should I Consider Weight Management & Lifestyle Medicine?
Our physician-guided, concierge approach may be appropriate if you want to address your weight or metabolic health as part of a concerted strategy to improve your overall health. You may benefit if you:

- Have cardiovascular risk factors that make weight and lifestyle management particularly relevant

FAQs About Weight Management, Nutrition Coaching & Lifestyle Medicine
What does a physician-led approach to weight management involve?
Physician-led weight management considers weight in the context of medical history, medications, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and other relevant factors. This allows the treatment strategy to address the broader health considerations that may influence weight and long-term outcomes.
Can nutrition coaching help if I already eat a relatively healthy diet?
Yes. Nutrition coaching can focus on refining an existing diet rather than starting over with a restrictive plan. Depending on your goals, coaching may address meal composition, metabolic health, nutrient intake, exercise nutrition, sustainable habits, or other areas identified during your evaluation.
Can GLP-1 medications be part of a weight management program?
GLP-1 medications may be appropriate for some patients based on their medical history, weight-related health risks, treatment goals, and other clinical considerations. When prescribed, they should be incorporated into a broader treatment strategy that includes appropriate monitoring and lifestyle support.
How is lifestyle medicine different from a traditional weight-loss program?
Lifestyle medicine addresses the behaviors and health factors that influence long-term well-being, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and other modifiable factors. Weight management can be one component of this broader approach, particularly when metabolic or cardiovascular health is also a concern.
What laboratory testing may be useful for weight and metabolic health?
Testing depends on your medical history and goals. Depending on the situation, evaluation may include glucose and insulin-related markers, lipid and cardiovascular biomarkers, inflammatory markers, micronutrients, hormones, or other clinically relevant testing. Results are interpreted within the context of your overall health rather than in isolation.
Can weight management be combined with cardiovascular care?
Yes. Weight, metabolic health, and cardiovascular risk are closely connected, so addressing them together can be appropriate for many patients. Dr. Warej's training in both internal medicine and cardiovascular disease enables the incorporation of weight and lifestyle considerations into a broader cardiovascular and preventive strategy.
