I began my career as a Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician and with over 15 years’ experience, I saw firsthand how weight gain can lead to chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, joint pain and various other conditions. While I could treat these conditions, I realized that I wanted to get to the root of the problem. That's what led me to a Dual Board Certification in Obesity Medicine.
My own experience with weight gain after major life changes showed me that traditional approaches often fail to account for the realities of a busy life. That's why I am so passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care through telemedicine. My goal is to help you successfully manage your weight and prevent the onset and progression of chronic disease, all without the added stress of an in-person office visit.
Although I am located in Houston, I provide weight loss solutions to patients residing in the entire state of Texas.

Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that sustainable weight loss is a journey with multiple interconnected parts. We don't believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we focus on the four foundational pillars of successful weight management:
-
Nutrition
We work with you to create a personalized, evidence-based eating plan that is both effective and sustainable. This is not about restrictive diets; it's about building a healthy relationship with food and understanding the role it plays in your body.
-
Exercise
Physical activity is a cornerstone of overall health. We help you find a form of exercise that you enjoy and can realistically incorporate into your busy life, whether it’s walking, strength training, or something else.
-
Medication
For many individuals, having obesity is a medical condition that can be treated with medications. We offer a careful evidence-based approach to medication management when appropriate to support your weight loss efforts.
-
Behavioral Health
True change starts with understanding your habits and relationship with food. We provide guidance and support to help you identify and overcome behavioral barriers and build the mental resilience needed for long-term success.
“By integrating these four pillars, we provide a holistic and compassionate approach that is tailored to your unique needs, helping you achieve lasting results.”
— Dr. Gini Dutt
