Services Offered
At Livea, we offer comprehensive weight management services that address all aspects of healthy living. Our registered dietitians provide personalized nutrition counseling based on your medical history, food preferences, and lifestyle requirements.

Our metabolic testing services help identify any underlying issues that might be hindering your progress, including thyroid function and insulin resistance. We also provide ongoing lifestyle coaching to help you navigate challenges like emotional eating, dining out, and maintaining motivation. Group workshops cover topics like meal prep, reading nutrition labels, and stress management techniques. Our body composition analysis tracks your progress beyond the scale, measuring fat loss and muscle preservation.

What to Expect
Your journey at Livea begins with a comprehensive health assessment, including metabolic testing and body composition analysis. We review your medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts to understand what has and hasn't worked for you. Together, we establish realistic, measurable goals and create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle.
Weekly check-ins during the first month help establish new routines and address any challenges. As you progress, appointments become bi-weekly, then monthly for maintenance. We use continuous monitoring through food tracking apps and regular measurements to adjust your plan as needed. Our team is always available via phone or email for questions and support between appointments.
Why Choose Livea
Livea stands out because of our evidence-based approach and medical expertise. Unlike weight loss centers that rely on supplements or pre-packaged meals, we teach you sustainable skills for lifelong success. Our team includes licensed healthcare professionals who can safely guide clients with medical conditions through their weight loss journey.
Our success rates are significantly higher than industry averages because we focus on gradual, sustainable changes rather than rapid weight loss. We maintain relationships with local healthcare providers, ensuring coordinated care. Our flexible scheduling accommodates busy lifestyles, and our virtual options make support accessible even when you can't come in person. Most importantly, we treat each client as an individual with unique needs and circumstances.
Insurance & Pricing
Many of our services are covered by health insurance, particularly when weight loss is medically necessary. We accept most major insurance plans and can verify your coverage before your first visit. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment plans. Initial consultations range from $150-$250, with follow-up visits typically $75-$125. Package deals for multiple sessions provide additional savings. We're transparent about all costs and will never recommend unnecessary services to increase fees.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first visit, complete our online health questionnaire and gather any recent lab results or medical records. Come prepared to discuss your goals, challenges, and what you hope to achieve through our program. We recommend bringing a list of current medications and supplements.
During your program, consistency with check-ins and food tracking will maximize your success. Don't hesitate to reach out between appointments if you have questions or face unexpected challenges. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time - we typically see 1-2 pounds per week as a healthy rate. Focus on the positive changes in energy, sleep, and overall health, not just the number on the scale. Our team will support you through plateaus and setbacks, which are normal parts of the journey.
