Physician-led medical weight loss — finding the medical reasons behind weight gain and plateaus.
Medically reviewed by Charles Kamen, MD, board-certified neurologist
Sustainable weight loss is medical, not just willpower. Whether you are getting started or stuck after doing everything right — better diet, more exercise — there are real, measurable reasons the body holds onto weight. At LiveNow Longevity, weight loss is approached medically by Dr. Charles Kamen, MD.
At LiveNow Longevity, we approach plateaus medically: Dr. Charles Kamen, MD looks at labs, hormones, sleep, and metabolic markers to understand why your body is holding onto weight, then builds a physician-supervised plan if appropriate.
Every plan begins with a complete medical evaluation by Dr. Charles Kamen, MD. Individual results vary, and we do not guarantee specific outcomes.
Plateaus are usually biology, not a lack of willpower. As you lose weight, your body defends its old set point: metabolic rate drops (metabolic adaptation), hunger hormones like ghrelin rise while satiety hormones like leptin fall, and the same diet that once worked stops producing a deficit. The body is doing exactly what it evolved to do.
Layered on top are medical drivers that quietly stall progress — thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, hormonal changes, high cortisol from stress, poor sleep, and certain medications. Because these are invisible without testing, plateaus are best diagnosed with labs rather than by working out harder.
Dr. Kamen evaluates the medical reasons your weight has stalled — metabolic, hormonal, thyroid, sleep, and lifestyle — and builds an individualized, physician-supervised plan. The aim is to work with your physiology rather than fight it.
Where medically appropriate, that plan may include FDA-approved GLP-1 weight-loss medications (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide), prescribed and monitored as part of a complete plan with nutrition and follow-up. We do not promise results, and we do not use a one-size protocol — the plan follows your labs.

Plateaus often have medical drivers — metabolic adaptation, hormonal changes, thyroid issues, sleep, and stress. A lab-driven evaluation identifies why your body is holding on, rather than guessing.
After an $88 medical evaluation with labs, Dr. Kamen designs an individualized, physician-supervised plan that may include FDA-approved weight-loss medications, nutrition, and follow-up — when medically appropriate.
