Silver Peak Health
Weight Loss Clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah
About Silver Peak Health
Silver Peak Health in Salt Lake City provides comprehensive weight loss solutions that address the complex medical factors often overlooked by traditional programs. Our team of physicians specializes in identifying and treating underlying health conditions that contribute to weight gain and prevent successful weight loss. We understand that effective weight management requires addressing metabolic disorders, hormonal imbalances, food sensitivities, and other medical factors that make losing weight difficult.
Serving Salt Lake City and the broader Wasatch Front community, we attract patients who've struggled with unexplained weight gain or inability to lose weight despite following traditional diet and exercise recommendations. Our medical approach goes beyond simple calorie restriction to uncover root causes like thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, food allergies, and autoimmune conditions. By treating these underlying issues alongside implementing proven weight loss strategies, we help patients achieve sustainable results that previously seemed impossible.
Services Offered
Silver Peak Health offers advanced medical weight loss services that begin with comprehensive diagnostic testing to identify underlying health factors affecting weight management. Our allergy and sensitivity testing reveals hidden food triggers that may be causing inflammation, water retention, and metabolic disruption. We provide detailed hormonal assessments, thyroid function testing, and metabolic analysis to create personalized treatment protocols. Our prescription weight loss medications are carefully selected based on your specific medical profile and underlying conditions. We offer specialized treatments for insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and hormone-related weight gain including bio-identical hormone replacement when appropriate. Nutritional counseling focuses on anti-inflammatory eating patterns and elimination diets to identify and remove trigger foods. Regular monitoring includes body composition analysis, metabolic rate testing, and follow-up laboratory work to track improvements in underlying health markers. Our approach treats weight gain as a symptom of deeper health issues rather than simply a lifestyle problem, leading to more effective and sustainable results for patients with complex medical histories.
Treatment Options

Extensive diagnostic testing followed by personalized treatment addressing underlying medical conditions, food sensitivities, and metabolic factors affecting weight.
Allergy & Sensitivity-Based Weight Loss
Specialized program focusing on identifying and eliminating food triggers and environmental allergens that contribute to inflammation and weight retention.

Treatment addressing thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances that prevent weight loss, including bio-identical hormone replacement when appropriate.
Metabolic Syndrome Treatment

What to Expect
Your treatment begins with extensive medical evaluation including detailed history taking, physical examination, and comprehensive laboratory testing. We test for food sensitivities, environmental allergies, thyroid function, hormone levels, and metabolic markers to identify factors contributing to your weight struggles. This thorough assessment often takes 2-3 hours and may require follow-up testing based on initial findings.
Treatment plans are highly individualized based on test results and may include elimination diets, targeted supplementation, hormone optimization, and prescription medications. Follow-up appointments are scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially to monitor progress and adjust treatments. We often identify and treat multiple underlying issues simultaneously, which can lead to rapid improvements once proper treatment begins. Many patients experience not only weight loss but improvements in energy, mood, sleep, and other symptoms they didn't realize were connected to their weight struggles. The process emphasizes treating root causes rather than just managing symptoms, leading to comprehensive health improvements alongside weight loss.
Why Choose Silver Peak Health
Silver Peak Health offers something most weight loss clinics can't - the ability to identify and treat the medical reasons why you haven't been able to lose weight successfully. Our comprehensive diagnostic approach often reveals underlying health issues that other providers have missed. If you've been frustrated by traditional approaches that blame your weight on lack of motivation or willpower, we can provide real medical explanations and effective solutions.
Our dual specialty in weight loss and allergy medicine allows us to address food sensitivities and environmental factors that many providers overlook. We understand that weight gain can be a symptom of immune system dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, or metabolic disorders that require specific medical treatment. Our success comes from treating the whole person rather than just prescribing diet and exercise. Many patients find that once we address their underlying health issues, weight loss becomes much easier and more sustainable than they ever imagined possible.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans for medical consultations and covered diagnostic testing, though some specialized tests and treatments may require out-of-pocket payment. Our comprehensive initial evaluation is $300, including extensive medical history, physical examination, and treatment planning. Diagnostic testing costs vary from $200-600 depending on the scope of evaluation needed.
Weight loss medications and specialized treatments range from $150-400 monthly based on your individual protocol. Allergy testing and food sensitivity panels are often covered by insurance when medically indicated. We provide detailed insurance verification and cost estimates before beginning treatment. Many patients find our approach more cost-effective than years of ineffective treatments from other providers, especially when insurance covers diagnostic testing and medical management.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, gather all previous medical records, laboratory results, and documentation of previous weight loss attempts to help us understand your medical history. We recommend keeping a detailed food and symptom diary for one week prior to your visit to identify potential patterns. Bring a comprehensive list of all medications, supplements, and any known allergies or sensitivities.
During treatment, follow all testing and dietary recommendations precisely to get accurate results and identify trigger factors. Some diagnostic phases may temporarily restrict your diet or require elimination of suspected trigger foods. Attend all follow-up appointments as scheduled since treatment often requires adjustments based on your response and ongoing test results. Be patient with the diagnostic process, as identifying underlying causes can take several weeks but leads to much more effective treatment. Communicate any new symptoms or concerns promptly, as they may provide important clues about underlying health issues affecting your weight.
