Weight and metabolic health for teens and young adults
For ages 12–26 with weight or metabolic concerns. Metabolic health includes how your body handles blood sugar, cholesterol and energy.
We listen without judgment. Together, we choose goals that fit your health and daily life.
An individual assessment will help us build the right plan with you. For younger children, we offer weight care through our medical appointments.
Weight care for younger childrenDesigned for concerns including
- Prediabetes, type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance
- PCOS or irregular periods with metabolic concerns
- High cholesterol or other blood-fat concerns
- Fatty liver (MASLD)
- Fast or unexpected weight gain, including from medicines
- Questions about weight medicine, including GLP-1 medicine
Our practice serves ages 0–26; this program is designed for ages 12–26 after an individual assessment. Medication criteria vary by product and diagnosis. We do not currently accept new patients for type 1 diabetes. Tell us about other conditions so we can assess the right setting for care.
What the program will include
Your care journey
2
Understand your health
Review growth, medicines and existing results. Your clinician explains whether tests or an in-person assessment would help.
3
Choose a plan together
Discuss medical care, nutrition and everyday changes that fit your age, needs and preferences.
4
Review and adjust
At follow-up, discuss how you feel, what feels manageable and any treatment effects. Agree on the next steps with your clinician.
Support for everyday life
Meals and snacks
Discuss food choices and eating routines that fit your preferences, culture and budget.
Movement and rest
Talk about activity you enjoy, sleep and small changes that work around school or work.
Support that fits your age
For teens, caregivers can help build routines at home. Adults ages 18–26 decide how family is involved.
Your clinician considers growth, mood and eating concerns alongside physical health. Treatment choices include a review of benefits, risks and monitoring.
Testing when useful
Tests are chosen for your age, health history and treatment. Not everyone needs every test.
Cholesterol
A lipid panel helps assess cholesterol and other blood fats.
Blood sugar
A1c, fasting glucose or a glucose tolerance test may be used, depending on the question. Not everyone needs all three.
Liver health
ALT may help evaluate liver concerns associated with metabolic health.
Other tests when indicated
Kidney function or other tests may be appropriate based on symptoms, medicines and medical history.
Your clinician explains what to check and why. Laboratory charges depend on your insurance and where testing is done.
Pediatric guidance behind the program
Why it works this way
The American Academy of Pediatrics’ 2023 guideline supports family-centered care that combines medical care, nutrition and behavior support, chosen for each young person. That approach shapes the program we’re building.
Read the AAP guideline summary
Medicine is one possible option. Your clinician considers your health, age, history and goals before recommending it.
Insurance and cost
Your cost depends on your insurance plan and care needs. Before enrollment, our team will check benefits for the program’s services and explain expected costs, including any copay, deductible or separate charges. Joining the waitlist is free.
Who is the program for?
The upcoming program is for ages 12–26 with weight or metabolic concerns. An individual assessment will help determine fit. Video visits require the patient to be in Virginia or Maryland. Adult patients decide how family takes part.
How do I join, and what happens next?
Use the family waitlist form for enrollment updates. Adults can sign up for themselves; a parent or guardian signs up for a minor. If the age or location is outside the program’s scope, you can request general updates instead. There is no cost or commitment to join.
Will medication be required?
No. Your clinician will discuss treatment options based on your age, health and goals. If medication could help, we’ll review benefits, risks, alternatives and coverage with you.
What does the program cost?
Your cost depends on your insurance plan and care needs. Before enrollment, our team will check benefits for the program’s services and explain expected costs, including any copay, deductible or separate charges. Joining the waitlist is free.
Can we get medical care now?
Yes. Current medical appointments for weight or hormone concerns are separate from the future program. Request an appointment.
How do you talk about weight and progress?
We discuss weight respectfully and in the context of growth and overall health. The conversation includes daily routines, how you feel and relevant clinical measurements. Your clinician explains what to track and why.
How are parents or caregivers involved?
For teens, parents or caregivers can help with routines and follow-through at home, while the young person’s questions and preferences stay part of the conversation. Adults ages 18–26 choose who joins visits and how family is involved.
