Physician-guided weight care that protects your heart — not a fad, a plan.
Excess weight strains every part of the cardiovascular system: it raises blood pressure, worsens cholesterol, promotes diabetes, and forces the heart to work harder every hour of the day. Losing even 5–10% of body weight measurably lowers cardiac risk. Our weight management service is medical, not cosmetic. Dr. Kalafatic evaluates your metabolic health, medications, and cardiac risk together, then builds a sustainable program of nutrition, activity, and — where appropriate — medical support, with regular follow-ups to keep you on track.
Weight is one of the few cardiac risk factors entirely within reach of treatment. Managing it well improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar all at once.
