Weight Management
At Compass, we believe weight management is more than just a number on the scale. It's about reclaiming your health, boosting your energy, improving your confidence, and optimizing your longevity.
UNDERSTANDING THE SCIENCE
What is our approach?
Our concierge medicine clinic delivers a comprehensive, science-backed, and deeply personalized approach to weight management that goes far beyond fad diets or one-size-fits-all plans.
Our cutting-edge programs leverage advanced diagnostics, expert guidance, medical therapies, and full-spectrum lifestyle coaching to help you achieve sustainable results.
While other clinics treat weight as a symptom, we treat it as a reflection of your biology, habits, and health. Compass combines precision with personalization to deliver measurable, lasting outcomes.
True weight loss success starts with understanding your body at the most granular level. At Compass, we don't guess - we test. Our approach begins with in-depth diagnostics and continues with comprehensive nutrition, exercise, and medical interventions tailored just for you.
Your Health Blueprint
Precision Diagnostics
Every patient evaluation starts with detailed diagnostics including Basal Metabolic Testing, DEXA, Vo2 Max and bloodwork, in addition to a detailed patient history. These data points help patient the picture of your health and chart the right path to tackling your journey to consistent, effortless weight loss.
Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest just to maintain vital functions. Knowing your BMR is critical to designing a weight loss plan that actually works. Many generic calorie calculators rely on estimations, but at Compass, we measure your actual metabolic output using gold-standard methods. This allows us to set realistic, effective calorie targets personalized to your physiology.
According to research published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, precise caloric prescriptions based on true metabolic data result in significantly more effective and sustainable weight loss compared to estimation-based plans.
DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scanning is the most advanced way to assess body composition—including bone density, fat mass, and lean muscle mass. Unlike a basic scale or BMI, a DEXA scan gives us a complete, clear picture of your body’s health and how it’s changing throughout your weight management journey.
A study in Obesity Reviews highlighted DEXA’s superior accuracy over bioelectrical impedance and skinfold measurements. Compass uses DEXA not only to track progress but to ensure that you’re losing fat—not muscle—so your metabolism stays high and your results are long-term.
VO2 Max measures your maximum oxygen consumption during exercise and is one of the best indicators of cardiovascular fitness and metabolic efficiency. At Compass, we incorporate VO2 Max testing to:
- Identify your aerobic threshold
- Customize your cardio workouts for maximum fat burning
- Track improvements in cardiovascular health over time
A higher VO2 Max is associated with lower all-cause mortality, improved endurance, and more effective fat oxidation. As published in the European Heart Journal, improving your VO2 Max is directly correlated with reduced risk of chronic disease and enhanced longevity.
We conduct a thorough panel of metabolic and hormonal bloodwork to identify hidden factors sabotaging your weight loss efforts. This includes but is not limited to:
- Thyroid function (TSH, free T3/T4) – to rule out hypothyroidism
- Insulin and fasting glucose – to detect insulin resistance or prediabetes
- Lipid profile – to assess cardiovascular risk
- Cortisol levels – to evaluate stress-related fat retention
- Sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen, DHEA) – which can affect metabolism and fat distribution
- Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine) – linked to weight-related chronic disease
These labs allow us to fine-tune every aspect of your plan, from diet to medication to stress management. You won’t just lose weight—you’ll optimize your internal systems for long-term health and energy.

Exercise isn’t just about burning calories—it’s about building metabolic resilience. Our exercise protocols are customized to your goals, fitness level, and body composition. We focus on progressive resistance training, functional movement, and cardiovascular conditioning to support fat loss, muscle growth, and overall vitality.
Each plan is:
- Created by experienced performance and rehabilitation specialists
- Integrated with your biometrics and DEXA data
- Adjusted weekly based on your results and recovery metrics
We’ll also guide you on wearable tech, recovery tools, and biofeedback to maximize efficiency and motivation.
Expert Precision
GLP-1’s Role
Medication can be a powerful tool when used correctly—and at Compass, we use it precisely. For qualifying patients, GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide have revolutionized the landscape of weight management.
What Are Semaglutides Like Wegovy and Ozempic?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are medications that mimic a naturally occurring hormone in your gut that regulates hunger and blood sugar. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic, is FDA-approved for weight loss and type 2 diabetes. These medications help you:
- Feel full longer
- Reduce appetite
- Regulate blood sugar
- Lose weight safely and effectively
According to a pivotal study in the New England Journal of Medicine, patients using semaglutide lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks—far surpassing placebo and previous generations of weight loss drugs.
How Do They Work and Why Are They Effective?
GLP-1s act on multiple systems that control appetite and energy balance. They slow gastric emptying, reduce food intake, and increase satiety by acting on receptors in the brain. They also improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation.
When combined with Compass’s full lifestyle and nutritional support, these medications become even more effective. We monitor every patient closely to ensure optimal results, minimal side effects, and long-term success.
