Personalized Physician Supervised Weight Loss Options

At Silva MD AntiAging & Wellness, we believe sustainable weight loss must honor your body’s unique biology — not fight against it. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we uncover the hidden barriers that may be sabotaging your progress: insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and stress.

Here’s what you can expect when you trust us with your weight loss journey:

Step 1: Comprehensive Health Evaluation

In-Depth Consultation: We start with a thoughtful conversation about your goals, challenges, and medical history. Discuss nutrition and exercise plans that fit your lifestyle.

 

Advanced Laboratory Testing: We assess insulin resistance, thyroid health, sex hormones, cortisol, vitamin levels, and inflammatory markers — because what’s out of balance can hold you back.

Step 2: Integrative Supplements & Nutraceuticals including Sleep Support

We curate only evidence-backed, pharmaceutical-grade supplements including methylated B12 injections, that support fat metabolism, gut health, insulin sensitivity, and appetite regulation — all tailored to your individual needs.

 

Stress & Sleep Support: Poor sleep and unmanaged stress can derail weight loss. We help you optimize both.

Step 3: Cutting-Edge Peptide & Hormone Therapies

Tesamorelin: Originally FDA-approved for visceral fat reduction in certain patient populations, this peptide may help decrease stubborn abdominal fat by increasing growth hormone secretion — always used off-label with informed consent when appropriate.

 

 

Hormone Optimization: If your labs show you’re low in thyroid or sex hormones that affect metabolism, we create a balanced plan to restore vitality.

Step 4: Advanced Non-Surgical Body Contouring

FDA-Cleared Technology: EMSCULPT NEO is an advanced non-invasive treatment that specifically targets stubborn visceral fat and reduce overall body circumference. This science backed technology is painless, targets lower abdomen and love handles.

 

Health Canada-Approved Neuro-Technology: EXOMIND (modified TMS therapy) helps patients struggling with food noise and binge eating. This breakthrough technology may help with food cravings and restore healthy eating patterns — safely and gently, without prescription drugs, surgery, and pain.

Step 5: Ongoing Physician Supervision & Accountability

Your journey is supervised by our staff of Physician Assistants, RN and trusted physicians — every step of the way.

 

We regularly review your progress, repeat labs when needed, and adjust your plan to ensure you’re not just losing weight — you’re regaining your health and confidence.

Mediterranean Diet

What is a Mediterranean Diet?

So, what’s the secret of the Mediterranean diet? What do Italians and Greeks know that others don’t?

The Mediterranean diet incorporates more healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole grains, and fewer unhealthy fats. It also incorporates ingredients like olive oil and red wine that, when consumed in moderation, are good for lowering stress levels.

Other characteristics of the Mediterranean lifestyle include eating with family and friends, getting plenty of exercise, and eating your biggest meal of the day at lunch instead of dinner.

According to the Mayo Clinic, studies have shown that eating Mediterranean food reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease. Women who stick to a Mediterranean diet menu supplemented by extra virgin olive oil and mixed nuts are at reduced risk of breast cancer.

For these reasons, most major scientific organizations encourage people to follow a Mediterranean diet or incorporate Mediterranean foods into their diet. Learn more about the Mediterranean diet, and specific recipes here.
