MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS: THE METABOLIC RESET

Restore Balance. Strengthen your foundation. Reclaim your energy.

MORE THAN WEIGHT. A RESET FOR LIFE.

Metabolic health isn’t about restriction — it’s about restoration.

Many people spend years trying to “fix” their weight, when the real issue lies in metabolism, inflammation, gut health and hormone balance.


Dr. Carla Russo takes a whole-person approach that addresses the root causes of metabolic dysfunction — not just the symptoms.

As a Diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine, she integrates nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress optimization with evidence-based medical therapies and cutting-edge technology to help you reset your metabolism, renew your energy, and rebuild strength.

“True transformation happens when science meets sustainability.”

A Personalized, Evidence-Based Approach

Every plan begins with data, understanding, and partnership.
Dr. Russo conducts comprehensive metabolic assessments to understand how your body is functioning — not just how it looks.

Her programs are tailored to your goals, medical history, and lifestyle, ensuring safe, sustainable progress — never one-size-fits-all.

SERVICES INCLUDE

  • Comprehensive metabolic & nutritional assessment

  • Medication-assisted therapy (GLP-1 agonists, Low-Dose Naltrexone, Contrave)

  • Health coaching grounded in Lifestyle Medicine

  • Personalized exercise & nutrition plans

  • Lab monitoring & progress evaluation

Results are measured not just by pounds lost, but by energy gained, strength restored, and confidence rebuilt.

Technology That Transforms

Advanced Technology for Functional Results

Science-backed devices amplify results by building strength, sculpting muscle, and supporting metabolic performance — safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDE

  • EMSCULPT NEO™ — combines radiofrequency and HIFEM+ to build muscle, reduce fat, and improve metabolic rate

  • EXION™ Body — tightens skin, reduces cellulite, targets stubborn fat areas non-invasively, and stimulates collagen + natural hyaluronic acid

  • Styku 3D Body Composition Analysis — precise, infrared-based body mapping; safe with pacemakers/defibrillators/implants and accurate up to 500 lbs

  • EXOMIND™ — supports cognitive focus, motivation, and emotional balance to help curb cravings and sustain progress—ideal for a medication-free path or when transitioning off medical weight-loss therapy

These tools accelerate fat loss, preserve muscle mass, and complement lifestyle changes — delivering sustainable, measurable outcomes that go far beyond the scale.
