Weight Management

Medical weight management programs built around your biology, supervised by a board-certified neurologist.

Medical weight management involves the use of evidence-based interventions to support healthy weight and metabolic function. This may include lifestyle counseling, nutritional guidance, and in some cases medications that affect appetite, metabolism, or energy balance. Dr. Charles Kamen, MD, a board-certified neurologist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology at LiveNow Longevity in Las Vegas, uses medically supervised protocols — which may include weight management medications — as part of individualized weight management programs tailored to each patient's health profile. Every program begins with medical evaluation including lab work before any intervention is recommended. This ensures any program recommended is appropriate for your individual health status. Medical weight management at LiveNow Longevity is physician-supervised. Dr. Kamen monitors progress, adjusts protocols as needed, and reviews labs regularly. Telemedicine consultations are available for Nevada residents.
