Guidance and support for sustainable, long-term goal
Struggling to maintain weight loss or find yourself regaining lost pounds? You’re not alone—statistically, 95% of people who lose weight end up gaining it back. At New York Integrative Rheumatology, we’re committed to understanding the root causes of your weight issues and helping you achieve successful, lasting weight loss while maintaining your health.
Dr. Sokolova, board-certified in metabolic medicine with additional specialization in weight loss, believes that addressing the underlying factors driving obesity is crucial. Whether it's a chronic infection like Lyme disease or Epstein-Barr virus, nutritional deficiencies, insulin receptor issues from diabetes or prediabetes, intestinal problems like leaky gut or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), or inefficient mitochondria, we’re here to help.
Our HCQ protocol can accelerate your weight loss journey, and we’ll closely monitor your body composition to ensure you don’t lose muscle mass—one of the most common pitfalls of DIY weight loss. Muscle is vital for metabolizing glucose and fatty acids, so preserving muscle mass is essential for effective weight management and a healthy metabolism. By avoiding muscle loss, you’ll improve your chances of keeping the weight off and achieving long-term results.
We’ll guide and support you every step of the way to ensure your weight loss program is both effective and sustainable.
