About Crisco Integrative Health, PLLC
Crisco Integrative Health PLLC in Albemarle takes a holistic approach to weight management that addresses the whole person, not just the number on the scale.

Services Offered
At Crisco Integrative Health, our weight management services encompass both traditional medical approaches and integrative wellness strategies. We offer comprehensive functional medicine evaluations that identify underlying causes of weight gain, including nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction. Our medical team can prescribe weight loss medications when appropriate, always within the context of a holistic treatment plan. We provide IV hydration therapy with customized nutrient blends designed to support metabolism, energy levels, and overall wellness during weight loss. Our nutrition counseling goes beyond calorie counting to address anti-inflammatory eating patterns, meal timing, and therapeutic nutrition protocols. We offer supplement protocols using pharmaceutical-grade nutrients to support metabolic function and address deficiencies that may hinder weight loss. Additionally, we provide stress management counseling and lifestyle coaching, recognizing that emotional and mental health play crucial roles in successful weight management. Our approach often includes detoxification support and gut health optimization to create the best foundation for sustainable weight loss.

First-Time Patient Tips
Success with integrative weight loss often requires patience as we address underlying imbalances that may have taken years to develop. Initial improvements in energy and mood may occur before significant weight loss. Be prepared to make gradual lifestyle changes and stick with supplement protocols consistently. It's important to view this as a journey toward overall wellness, not just weight loss. The improvements in your overall health and energy levels are often as valuable as the weight you lose.
