"I want to talk to patients. To hear their stories and struggles and connect with them about something I am very passionate about – disease prevention, healthy diet, sleep, and stress reduction." — Marina Ivanovsky, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Featured Treatment Option: Semaglutide

As part of creating your personalized Beyond Weight program, we will discuss if incorporating medications into your weight loss journey is the right fit or not.

We are excited to now offer Semaglutide as an option in the Beyond Weight program. Never before have we had a weight loss medication on the market that simultaneously improves health and trains your brain, but now we do!

Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication that is FDA approved for long-term weight management. This once-a-week injection has been called a game changer for weight loss. Our clients lose 3-5 pounds per week on average using this treatment. Studies have found that results of semaglutide therapy were compatible with those of bariatric surgery, allowing people to lose 15-20% of their body weight.

What to Expect & Why We Fail Long-Term

Marina and her team know that you are constantly bombarded with advertisements about the best diet, the best supplement – to “eat this, not that”. No one starts a diet with the intention of regaining the weight they lose. Unfortunately, roughly 90 percent of people who lose a lot of weight eventually regain it.

Our team has been studying why this happens to help you succeed at weight loss long term. There are many ways to lose weight, but not all are good for you or contribute to your long-term health. There is no pill, shake, supplement, food delivery service, diet or medical treatment that can help you tackle your emotional triggers and relationship with food.

Even the best athletes with the best abilities have coaches that help them to achieve Olympic results. Losing weight and embarking on your health journey can be hard, emotional, and overwhelming. Marina and her team help you through your journey with an evidence-based and compassionate approach. We help you face the issues that caused you to gain weight in the first place so that you don’t regain your weight.

Our Comprehensive Approach

1. Laboratory Baseline Mapping: We start with a blood test and look at laboratory results – inflammation levels, insulin resistance, cholesterol, thyroid, and more.
2. Personalized Analysis: We take into consideration your medical history, family history, and current medications.
3. Appetite & Lifestyle Evaluation: We look at your appetite, your busy schedule, stress levels, and environmental factors affecting your diet.
4. Practical Guidance: We do a grocery store walk-through and pantry purge – looking at labels and learning about what it means.
5. Ongoing Clinical Access: We make ourselves available via text or email if you ever have any questions about restaurant menus or grocery store choices on an ongoing basis.
6. Regular Progress Toggles: We conduct regular check-ins where we track progress and recommend any changes.
