At MetaboliK, we know that heart health, metabolic wellness, and weight management are deeply connected. That’s why we combine both services into a single, evidence-based program led by Dr. Sasha De Jesus—a board-certified specialist in obesity medicine, preventive cardiology, and clinical lipidology.

This program is ideal for individuals who want to:

* Prevent or reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions.

* Achieve sustainable, medically guided weight loss.

* Go beyond routine care to understand and optimize their full cardiometabolic health profile.

Initial Consultation

During this in-depth virtual evaluation, Dr. De Jesus will:

* Review your personal and family history, lifestyle habits, and current medications.

* Assess traditional and non-traditional cardiometabolic risk factors, such as:

- High blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, prediabetes/diabetes

- Obesity or overweight

- Smoking, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep quality

- Inherited or hormonal factors (e.g., elevated Lipoprotein(a), insulin resistance, pregnancy complications, thyroid or endocrine contributors)

* Review your recent labs, or order the necessary blood work and imaging if needed (such as a coronary artery calcium score or carotid ultrasound).

* Explore possible contributors to weight gain or treatment resistance.

* Evaluate your eligibility and safety for GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound), and prescribe treatment if appropriate.

* Develop a personalized action plan, which may include:

- Sustainable nutrition and activity recommendations

- Protein goals to support muscle preservation and metabolism

- Targeted supplements or preventive medications

- Use of the MetaboliK smart scale to monitor body composition (weight, muscle mass, body fat, metabolic rate) in real time

* Establish your long-term health and weight goals, with clear, realistic, and compassionate guidance.

Follow-Up Consultations

Follow-up visits are designed to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed. Each session may include:

* Review of your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, and other lab or imaging results.

* Evaluation of tolerance and effectiveness of any prescribed medications, with dosage adjustments as needed.

* Ongoing body composition analysis (if using the MetaboliK smart scale), with focus on preserving muscle mass while reducing body fat.

* Nutrition review to ensure you’re meeting protein requirements and supporting your metabolism.

* Practical strategies to improve adherence, motivation, and lifestyle habits.

* Updates to your personalized prevention and weight management plan, ensuring it evolves with your needs.

These visits keep you accountable, reinforce your progress, and provide continuous expert support to reduce long-term health risks while building a sustainable path to better health.

⚠️ Important Note
These consultations are preventive in nature. They are not intended to evaluate active symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or new palpitations. In those cases, please contact your cardiologist or seek emergency care.

👉 This comprehensive approach is included in the yearly plan, giving you access to ongoing, personalized, and medically supervised care that addresses both your heart health and weight management goals.
