Obesity is today’s biggest public health problem

Dr. Hodge is board certified in obesity medicine from the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) and created the first cardiometabolic, comprehensive weight loss program in the United States Navy. Working in a multidisciplinary team with input from nutrition, exercise physiology, and pharmacy is critical to helping you lose weight and prevent numerous complications from this chronic condition.

Obesity is associated with multiple cardiovascular complications including high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and high cholesterol, ultimately increasing risk for heart disease (the leading killer of men & women in the US). We will work with you to tackle this growing public health problem and help you achieve your weight loss goals. We currently offer nutrition services and can connect you with personal trainers, to customize your workout plan and optimize your diet for weight loss. We also work with several bariatric surgery groups in the area and can help you decide if surgical weight loss is good for you, walking you through the pre and post-operative time periods.
