Weight is a medical question. We treat it like one.
Most people who walk into a weight program have already run their own experiments: the diets, the apps, the gym streaks that lasted exactly as long as life allowed. What they usually haven't had is a physician sitting down with the whole picture at once — the labs, the sleep, the hormones, the medications, and an honest account of what's already been tried.
First, we measure.
The first step is a workup, not a meal plan. A targeted panel looks at what weight actually depends on: metabolic markers, thyroid function, hormone status, and whether something upstream is working against you. We review every line together, in plain language, before anyone proposes what to do about it. Sleep gets the same treatment — part of the workup, not an afterthought.
Nutrition without the sermon.
Nutrition advice that ignores your labs, your schedule, and your actual kitchen is a pamphlet. The guidance here is built from what your data shows and what your week can sustain. No banned-foods list, no moral framework. If an approach isn't working, we change the approach.
Where medication fits.
Medication is one tool in weight care, considered case by case and never the whole plan. One thing to know up front: Peri does not dispense or supply GLP-1 medications. Some patients arrive already using one through their own prescriber and pharmacy, and for them our role is the medical work around it — labs, monitoring, nutrition, and muscle preservation.
Then we follow through.
Weight care fails most often in the gap between the plan and the months after it. Peri is built around follow-up: scheduled rechecks, labs repeated when they'll actually tell us something, and adjustments based on how you feel and what the numbers do. One physician, the same one, at every visit.
Peri opens Late 2026 in Draper, Utah. During this first phase we won't be seeing Medicare patients. The waitlist hears everything first, including when consults open.
