So Much More than a Weight Loss Program

What is Medical Weight Loss?

We know that losing weight is so much more complicated than eating less and exercising more. Obesity is a disease; in fact, obesity is a complex metabolic neuro-endocrine disorder. Sound Medical Weight Loss specializes in medical weight loss to help you achieve your long-term weight loss goals with customized advice and treatments.

At our practice in Kirkland medical weight loss is a comprehensive approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, combining various strategies for long-term success. Our program offers personalized guidance and support tailored to your individual needs based on the following key strategies:

So Specialized

Doctor supervision is critical throughout the entire process. All our providers have received advanced certification and training in obesity medicine to give you expert health-centered supervision, medical guidance, feedback and support. 

So Detailed

Body composition analysis at every check-in gives you the data-driven progress you need to feel empowered that goes way beyond the numbers on a scale. 

So Supportive

Weight Loss Medications may also be prescribed during your treatment plan to assist with appetite control and metabolic regulation. With the new FDA approved anti-obesity medications, you don’t need to struggle against the myriad of signals produced by your brain and body that make losing weight so hard.

So Mindful

Mindfulness coaching helps you develop a positive relationship with food and body image, fostering behavioral changes and stress reduction techniques. 

So Nutritious

Nutrition counseling provides education and tools to support balanced eating habits (with REAL FOOD - not meal replacements!), portion control, and meal planning, empowering you to make healthier food choices. 

So Holistic

Our Sound Supplements target specific nutrient needs during weight reduction to support healthy blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, strengthen immune system, promote a healthy gut, improve mood, and support fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Our precision supplements were designed to enhance your overall success.

So Customized

Our Custom App guides you along the way with daily content and includes grocery lists, recipes, motivation, guided meditations, education and more at your fingertips!

So Successful

By addressing the physical, metabolic, emotional, and behavioral aspects of weight management, our multifaceted approach provides you with the tools for success, enhancing your ability to lose weight and keep it off.

SO YOU

When it comes to medical weight loss, we know that one size does not fit all. At Sound Medical Weight Loss in Kirkland weight loss specialists provide personalized treatment plans, combining physician guidance and nutritional support to meet your unique needs with care and precision.

Through a thorough assessment and consultation process, we are here to help you achieve your goals. Throughout every phase of your treatment, our weight loss specialists will be by your side to provide the tools, expertise, and encouragement you need for a stress-free experience. Your healthiest, happiest, and most fulfilling life is closer than you think.

So Worth It!

Our Medical Weight Loss Programs are surprisingly affordable. Because our programs are physician-supervised, the provider visits and many of the labs are covered by most insurances, helping to lower your out-of-pocket costs.

Physician Visits are Billed to Insurance

Let our experts guide you! All our healthcare providers have received advanced training and certification in obesity medicine and are contracted with most insurance carriers. Your doctor visits are billed separately from the monthly membership fee. For our cash-pay and Medicare patients, ask us about our self-pay fee structure.

*The patient is responsible for insurance co-pays, deductibles, uninsured balances, lab fees, medications, supplements, and any other fees that are not covered by insurance.

Monthly Program Fees

Your monthly program fee includes the program support services and materials and is NOT billable to insurance. The monthly fees are your out of pocket responsibility. The monthly membership fee does NOT include the provider visits, unless you select the self pay plan. You may use your Flex Spending Account or Health Savings Account for out of pocket monthly membership fees.
