Obesity Medicine
Obesity care that sees the whole person
Obesity is a chronic, complex disease—not a failure of willpower. At INcircle Health, you receive evidence-based treatment, ongoing primary care, and a personalized plan built around your health, goals, and life.
Care led by Dr. Juan Carlos Venis, a board-certified family physician and diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine.
Why obesity is complex
Obesity is influenced by more than one thing
Body weight and metabolic health are shaped by a mix of biology, environment, health, and lifestyle.
Biology & Genetics
Hormones & Metabolism
Nutrition & Movement
Sleep & Stress
Medications & Environment
Obesity is a chronic disease influenced by many factors. Understanding what may be affecting your health helps us choose the right treatment rather than assuming the same solution works for everyone.
A treatment plan built around you
There isn't one treatment that works for everyone. We combine the tools that make sense for your health, goals, preferences, and medical history.
Nutrition
Build an eating approach that is realistic, flexible, and sustainable.
Movement
Find ways to improve activity, fitness, and strength that fit your life.
Medical Care
Evaluate metabolic health, treat related conditions, and consider prescription treatment when appropriate.
Behavior & Mindset
Address habits, stress, sleep, motivation, and barriers that affect long-term health.
Weight care is connected to blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes risk, sleep, mental health, medications, hormones, fertility, and other parts of your health. Because obesity treatment is integrated into your primary care, we can consider the full picture rather than treating weight in isolation.
- One physician who gets to know your health
- Ongoing monitoring and medication management
- Prevention and chronic disease care alongside weight management
Medication is one tool—not the entire treatment plan.
When appropriate, treatment may include FDA-approved anti-obesity medications, including GLP-1–based therapies. We discuss benefits, risks, cost, coverage, and other treatment options based on your individual medical history and preferences.
Health is more than a number on the scale
Weight alone doesn't tell the whole story. When useful, body composition testing can help us understand changes in fat mass, muscle mass, and other measures over time—alongside blood pressure, metabolic health, fitness, and quality of life.
