About Our Practice

In 2020, Dr. Shah started asking the question, “what type of weight center would I want for myself?” She envisioned a simple yet innovative clinic that incorporated technology to streamline both the patient and physician experience and entailed access to comprehensive medical obesity treatments. She structured her clinic around the micro-practice model which is medical clinic model that usually includes a solo physician, minimal-to-no staff and streamlined systems to keep overhead low and keep quality high. Weight Sense Lake Nona is a practice that focuses on exceptional patient services and values the importance of the time necessary to provide in depth evaluations and comprehensive weight care services. As such, Weight Sense Lake Nona, is a private pay practice and insurance is not accepted. This allows patients the time necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment with your physician. Payment is due electronically prior to the time services are rendered. Cash, check and most major credit cards are accepted. If you have an insurance plan that includes out of network reimbursement, you may request a receipt that includes the necessary information to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. For more information, please contact us today. We will be happy to discuss pricing and address any questions you have.

BLOCKCHAIN

The Weight Sense Method

At Weight Sense Lake Nona we recognize that weight management is a personal journey as such we emphasize creating a respectful environment, create a unique
plan for each patient and are true partners in patient’s health.

Wellness Evaluation

We start with a 360 Wellness evaluation and assessment of
your health to identify underlying medical issues that impact weight management and also to diagnose diseases related to obesity. We will obtain necessary labs, complete body composition analysis on our InBody 570 scale and conduct a physical exam which may also include an EKG.

Personalized Nutrition Plan

There are many different dietary options that work, but the right one will depend on the individual patient. Our focus goes beyond calories, as all calories are not created equal. We help our patients move from a diet of fast food, refined grains and sugars towards eating more high quality whole foods. Meal replacement strategies can also be incorporated for effective weight loss and weight maintenance.

Physical Activity Prescription

Tailored physical activity prescriptions to meet your
needs and abilities.

Behavior Change Focus

We focus on long term success by listening and collaborating with our patients to make lasting changes. We hope to guide our
patients towards consistent and restful sleep at night, incorporate daily stress reduction practices into life, avoid risky substances and emphasize positive social connection.

Medications

Prescription anti-obesity medications are evidence-based tools that support the physiologic and behavior changes necessary for sustained weight loss. Weight loss medications are safe and effective when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes nutrition, physical activity and behavior modification. Medications can be regular or intermittent and may be necessary for long-term maintenance. Medications alter physiology and behaviors to decrease hunger, appetite, increase satiety and decrease cravings. The goal of therapy is long-term favorable health outcomes.

Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Support

Bariatric surgery is a non pharmacological treatment option for patients with obesity. It is often beneficial in reducing body weight and improving a patient’s metabolic health. Before having a bariatric procedure many patients need to complete a medically supervised weight loss program. Weight Sense Lake Nona’s comprehensive obesity program can help you on this journey. Get in touch and schedule your 45-60 minute initial consult today!
