Weight Management

Dr. Swencionis and students in the Obesity Lab oversee the Weight Management Program at the Parnes Clinic.  Students receive specific training in weight management and weight loss through the lab.  The Weight Management Program offers individual and group therapy options for weight management patients.  We follow a cognitive behavioral treatment protocol that seeks to help individuals modify thoughts and behaviors in order to achieve more healthful eating habits and weight loss.  This approach has been shown to be effective in helping individuals achieve weight loss goals, especially patients whose BMI is between 30 and 40.  While we use this outline for treatment, we also tailer each 45-50 minute session to the individual needs of each particular patient.  Group meetings are also available for weight management patients who may prefer that setting over individual treatment.
