Why Functional Medicine is Different

Unlike many weight loss programs that offer one-size-fits-all solutions, our medical weight loss program is built around the idea that your body is unique - and so is the way it stores (and releases) fat. Functional medicine looks at:


  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Blood sugar regulation
  • Gut and liver health
  • Inflammation and stress
  • Nutrient deficiencies


By addressing these root causes, our program doesn’t just help you lose weight - it helps your body work better, so weight loss becomes a natural byproduct of optimal health.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a physician-guided program that combines clinical assessment with ongoing support. At Meraki, that means working with our expert team to understand your current metabolic health, hormone function, and lifestyle patterns - and then designing a personalized plan to help you reach your goals.


If you’ve been searching for “medical weight loss near me” or wondering about options for medical weight loss, it’s important to know that not all programs are created equal. We take a holistic approach to weight loss - combining diagnostics, accountability, and compassionate care.


Is This Like the Medi Weightloss Program?


We’re often asked, “How much is the Medi Weightloss program?” While Medi programs offer calorie-controlled plans and medical supervision, Meraki’s functional weight loss program goes deeper. Our approach includes:


  • Full-body diagnostics (hormone testing, inflammation panels, metabolic function)
  • Nutrition guidance customized to your needs and preferences
  • Optional use of weight loss medications when appropriate
  • Support for skin integrity, energy, and mood throughout the process

In other words, we treat the body as an interconnected system, not just a number on the scale.

Functional Nutrition for Weight Loss


What you eat is just as important as how your body responds to food. At Meraki, we create personalized nutrition plans for weight loss that are anti-inflammatory, hormone-friendly, and easy to sustain.


Whether you need a weight loss nutrition plan for women, are dealing with PCOS or thyroid issues, or simply want the best nutrition plan for weight loss that supports your long-term health, we’ll design a protocol that works with your body - not against it.


We also offer support with nutritional recipes for weight loss and real-world strategies to make food enjoyable and functional, even in the busiest seasons of life.

What Makes Our Program Sustainable?


Sustainability is at the core of our process. This isn’t a temporary diet - it’s a guided shift into a healthier lifestyle that supports everything from mood and digestion to skin, sleep, and energy.


Your personalized weight loss journey may include:


  • Functional nutrition + meal planning
  • Hormone balancing through lifestyle and/or bioidentical therapy
  • Mind-body support for stress and emotional eating
  • Body contouring or skin tightening treatments, if desired
  • Gradual, healthy weight loss that protects muscle and metabolism
