About Marin Weight Loss & Wellness
Marin Weight Loss & Wellness has been serving the Novato community for over eight years, helping hundreds of patients achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized, science-based approaches. Our clinic was founded on the principle that sustainable weight loss requires addressing both physical and emotional factors that contribute to weight gain. We believe in helping our patients with the knowledge and tools they need to make lasting lifestyle changes.
Our integrated approach combines medical oversight with nutritional expertise and wellness coaching to create comprehensive treatment plans. We're proud to be part of the Marin County healthcare community, working alongside local physicians and specialists to provide coordinated care.

Services Offered
Marin Weight Loss & Wellness offers a full spectrum of weight management services designed to address the unique needs of each patient. Our medical weight loss program includes thorough metabolic assessments, hormone evaluations, and prescription medications when clinically appropriate. We use advanced body composition analysis to track progress and adjust treatment plans based on changes in muscle mass and fat distribution. Our nutritionist-led programs focus on sustainable eating patterns rather than restrictive diets. We provide meal planning services, grocery store tours, and cooking classes to help patients develop practical skills for long-term success. Health coaching sessions address behavioral patterns, stress management, and motivation techniques. We also offer specialized programs for patients with diabetes, PCOS, and thyroid disorders. Group support sessions create a community environment where patients can share experiences and encourage each other throughout their journeys.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive wellness assessment that includes medical history, lifestyle evaluation, and metabolic testing. We take time to understand your relationship with food, exercise habits, and previous weight loss attempts. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized plan that may include medical treatment, nutritional counseling, and wellness coaching.
Regular follow-up appointments track your progress and allow for plan adjustments as needed. We monitor not just weight loss but improvements in energy, sleep quality, and overall well-being. Our wellness coaches provide ongoing support between appointments through check-in calls and email support. Most patients begin seeing results within the first month, with significant improvements typically achieved within 4-6 months of starting our program.
Why Choose Marin Weight Loss & Wellness
What makes Marin Weight Loss & Wellness unique is our holistic approach that addresses mind, body, and lifestyle factors affecting weight.

Our team includes both medical professionals and certified wellness coaches who work together to provide comprehensive support.
Our success rates are exceptional because we focus on creating sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. We maintain ongoing relationships with our patients, providing support even after they reach their goals. Many patients tell us that our program was the first to help them understand why previous attempts failed and how to create lasting change.

Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans and work with patients to maximize coverage for medically necessary treatments. Initial consultations range from $250-350, with follow-up visits typically costing $125-175. Nutritional counseling sessions are often covered by insurance, especially for patients with diabetes or metabolic disorders.
We offer package deals for comprehensive programs and flexible payment plans for patients paying out of pocket. Our team provides detailed cost estimates upfront and helps navigate insurance coverage. We believe that investing in your health is one of the most important decisions you can make, and we work to make our services accessible to patients with various financial situations.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared for your first appointment with a detailed food diary from the previous week and a list of current medications and supplements. Be honest about your eating habits, exercise patterns, and previous weight loss attempts - this information helps us create the most effective treatment plan. Bring any recent lab work or medical records that might be relevant to your health history.
Success in our program requires commitment to following your personalized plan and staying engaged with your care team. Be patient with the process - sustainable weight loss takes time, and there will be ups and downs along the way. Focus on the positive changes you're experiencing in energy levels, sleep quality, and overall health, not just the number on the scale. Communication with your team is crucial, so don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns between appointments.
