Barnett Mennen, MD, FAAP

This is a “patient-centered” and not a “physician-centered” practice; that is, we place you – and not us – at the key position in the doctor/patient relationship.

INITAL 40 MINUTE VISIT

Check medical history, weight history, eating habits (stress eater, carb craver, snacker, etc.) lifestyle and discuss goals.  Education on weight loss, nutritional principles and importantly, help you un-learn nutritional myths that have hurt your efforts up until now.

PERSONALIZES EATING PLAN

Dr. Mennen then personalizes an easy-to-follow eating plan (Paleo-Plus™) with specific strategies for your success when at the office, traveling, at home or eating out.

CONTROLLING HUNGER

We use a patented combination of easy-to-tolerate medications for controlling cravings and hunger while the dietary changes we recommend also keep you feeling satisfied.

ONGOINING SUPPORT

We use email and the telephone for ongoing follow-up and support. We also use Skype or Facetime if you cannot make it into the office for a scheduled visit.

Diets rarely work for weight loss over the long-term; if one does manage to lose weight initially with a “program diet” such as Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig or NutriSytem, as soon as the program stops, all the weight is usually quickly regained. It is for this reason that we do not advocate a “diet.” We want our patients to understand what the natural food for our species was before farming was invented and how that relates to what we eat today: this is key in order to have success in achieving initial weight loss as well as sustaining that loss.
