In addition to the medical weight loss treatments offered above, Dr. Noelani Rodriguez will work with you on a plan tailored specifically for you, so you’ll be more likely to achieve success in a safe, healthy, and sustainable way. Our approach may include the following diagnostics:
Food Sensitivity Testing
Recognizing that inflammation from food can lead to weight gain is key in maintaining your health and optimal weight. Beginning with a IgG Food Sensitivity panel, you can discover what foods are promoting inflammation in your body. An IgG Food Sensitivity panel is meant to identify what food intolerances or allergies a person has that may be causing inflammation and weight gain. For this method to be effective, the conflicting foods must be eliminated for 1-3 months. Dr. Noelani Rodriguez and Dr. Anthony Frank will provide a diet and protocol to heal the body from inflammation and alleviate you from the secondary weight gain.
Nutritional Deficit Plans
The brain is equipped with sophisticated receptors, able to detect when we lack essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin D, Iron, and B-Vitamins. When these deficiencies are present, our hunger mechanism is activated–prompting us to consume more food in order to supply the vital nutrients our bodies crave. Dr. Noelani Rodriguez and Dr. Anthony Frank can run tests to pinpoint the exact nutrient deficiencies that may be hindering the progress of your weight loss journey and create a customized nutritional plan for you. With a sustained and complete nutrition plan that addresses your specific needs and deficits, your diet can fill in the gaps and boost your overall wellness.
Obesity and Its Risks
Not all weight gain accumulates to obesity. However, it is important to understand the risks that may come with untreated weight gain. Numerous health problems can be attributed to obesity.

- Diabetes

- Coronary Heart Disease
- High Blood Pressure

Why a Balanced Diet is Important
A balanced diet is the cornerstone of your well-being. An adequate balance of essential vitamins and minerals fuels your system, enabling you to ward off disease, fend off infection, and maintain long-lasting energy and vigor. A balanced diet to provide essential vitamins and nutrients should include, but is not limited to:
- Fresh Fruit
- Fresh Vegetables
- Lean Proteins
- Legumes
- Whole Grains
- Fat-free or Low-fat Dairy Products
What are Calories?
The energy contained in the foods we consume is measured in calories, and our bodies rely on these daily to fuel a variety of essential functions such as walking, breathing, and thinking. While the exact caloric needs differ from person to person, the average adult requires roughly 2,000 calories each day to maintain their weight—this amount can vary due to factors like age, gender, and exercise levels. In turn, increased caloric intake causes weight gain while decreased caloric intake causes weight loss.
When fueling the body, the source of which that nutrition comes from is important. We should try to avoid empty calories–which provide the calories, but no nutrition. Foods that provide empty calories include, but are not limited to:
- Sodas
- Cake, Cookies, and Donuts
- Processed Meats
