About Lifestyle Medicine Group

Lifestyle Medicine Group in Milwaukie represents a new paradigm in weight management, focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. Our team of registered dietitians and lifestyle medicine practitioners believes that lasting weight loss comes from understanding and addressing the root causes of weight gain, including stress, poor sleep, and nutritional deficiencies.

We take a science-based approach to weight loss that emphasizes whole foods, stress management, and behavioral change. Our programs are designed to help you develop healthy habits that will serve you for life, not just during a diet period. We understand that weight loss is deeply personal and often complicated by emotional factors, medical conditions, and life circumstances.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive weight loss services include detailed nutritional assessments, personalized meal planning, and ongoing coaching support. We begin with metabolic testing to understand your unique caloric needs and food sensitivities. Our registered dietitians create customized nutrition plans that fit your lifestyle, preferences, and medical requirements. Behavioral coaching sessions help address emotional eating patterns and develop sustainable habits. We offer both individual consultations and group programs for peer support and accountability. Our services include body composition analysis, food shopping tours, cooking classes, and stress management workshops. We also provide supplement recommendations when appropriate and work closely with your healthcare team. Follow-up appointments include progress reviews, plan adjustments, and troubleshooting challenges. Many clients benefit from our mindful eating programs and learn to recognize true hunger versus emotional triggers for eating.

What to Expect

Your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive 2-hour assessment including medical history review, dietary analysis, and metabolic testing. We'll discuss your relationship with food, stress levels, sleep patterns, and previous weight loss attempts. Based on this information, we'll create a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan with specific, achievable goals. Weekly check-ins for the first month help ensure you're adapting well to changes, followed by bi-weekly appointments as you progress. We track multiple metrics beyond just weight, including energy levels, sleep quality, and lab values when available. Regular meal plan updates keep your eating plan interesting and sustainable. Most clients see initial results within 2-3 weeks and achieve significant progress within 3-6 months of consistent implementation.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans that cover nutrition counseling, and many clients can use HSA or FSA funds for our services. Initial comprehensive assessments are $200, with follow-up sessions at $85 each. Group programs start at $150 per month and include weekly meetings plus online support. We offer sliding scale pricing for qualifying individuals and payment plans for comprehensive programs. Many insurance plans cover medical nutrition therapy when you have a diagnosis like diabetes or metabolic syndrome. We provide detailed documentation for insurance claims and can often secure coverage for clients with medical necessity. Package deals for multiple sessions offer significant savings for clients committing to long-term lifestyle change.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, complete our detailed intake forms and bring any recent lab work or medical records related to your weight or metabolism. Keep a 3-day food diary including one weekend day to help us understand your current eating patterns. Come prepared to discuss your goals honestly and any challenges you've faced with previous weight loss attempts. During your program, be consistent with food logging and attend all scheduled appointments for best results. Expect some trial and error as we fine-tune your plan - this is normal and part of the process. Stay in communication about challenges or questions between visits. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, and small changes compound into significant results over months. Follow supplement recommendations if provided and report any concerning symptoms promptly.
