Medical Weight Management

Weight Is a Medical Issue. It Deserves Medical Care.

Weight is not simply a matter of willpower. It is influenced by genetics, hormones, medications, sleep, stress, chronic disease, and metabolic function. Dr. Olaleye is board certified in Obesity Medicine — a specialty dedicated to the medical evaluation and treatment of obesity — and brings that expertise to every weight management patient at PHCM. The Metabolic Reset™, offered in partnership with The Skin Parlor™, provides a structured branded wellness experience for patients seeking a more comprehensive approach.

What We Offer

Why It Matters

Obesity Medicine is a recognized medical specialty for a reason — weight management is complex, and it requires a physician who understands the biology. At PHCM, weight management is not an add-on service. It is a core part of what Dr. Olaleye does.

GLP-1 medications are prescribed when medically appropriate. Coverage varies by insurance plan. Call for pricing and prior authorization information.

What makes physician-led weight management different from a commercial program?

Physician-led weight management is supervised by a board-certified physician who can evaluate underlying medical causes of weight gain, prescribe FDA-approved medications when appropriate, order and interpret lab work, and coordinate care with your other health conditions. Commercial programs lack this medical oversight. Dr. Olaleye is board certified in both Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine.

What is the Metabolic Reset™ program?

The Metabolic Reset™ is a physician-guided weight management program offered through PHCM's partnership with The Skin Parlor. It combines medical evaluation, nutritional guidance, and evidence-based interventions to address the metabolic root causes of weight gain — not just calorie restriction. Ask Dr. Olaleye whether you are a candidate at your next visit.

Are weight loss medications available at PHCM?

Dr. Olaleye evaluates patients for FDA-approved weight management medications as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Medication is not appropriate for every patient and is always considered alongside lifestyle modification. Eligibility is determined during a clinical evaluation.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary based on individual factors including starting weight, metabolic health, adherence to the program, and whether medication is used. Clinically meaningful weight loss — typically 5–10% of body weight — can significantly improve blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and joint health. Dr. Olaleye will set realistic, individualized goals with you.

Does insurance cover medical weight management?

Coverage for obesity medicine services varies by insurance plan. Medicare covers intensive behavioral therapy for obesity for eligible beneficiaries. Some commercial plans cover weight management visits and medications. Our office can help you understand your benefits — call (601) 357-5118 for Newton or (601) 453-5783 for Meridian.
