Root Cause Assessment
Comprehensive labs, metabolic analysis, and a real conversation about what you're experiencing — not a 7-minute appointment.
A medical weight loss program designed for women in midlife — because your body changed, and your approach needs to change with it. Led by a board-certified OB/GYN who actually listens.
Find Your Best FitYou've done the diets. You've cut the carbs. You've been told to "just eat less and move more." And still — your body won't cooperate. That's not a character flaw. That's biology.
You're eating well and exercising — but the scale won't budge, especially around your midsection
You've been dismissed by doctors who said "your labs are normal" while you feel anything but
You're exhausted and frustrated — brain fog, cravings, and energy crashes are your new normal
You feel invisible in a healthcare system that wasn't designed for what your body is going through right now
You've tried every program out there — and each one left you feeling like the failure, not the method
You know something is off hormonally — but nobody has taken the time to actually look deeper
In midlife, your hormones shift. Your metabolism rewrites its own rules. Insulin resistance increases. Cortisol runs the show. And every generic weight loss program ignores this entirely.
At Gaya Wellness, we don't hand you a calorie counter and wish you luck. We look at the whole picture — hormones, metabolism, stress, lifestyle, nutrition, and aging — and build a plan that works with your biology, not against it.
Our programs address the underlying biology that makes weight loss nearly impossible for women in perimenopause and menopause. Combined with physician oversight, custom nutrition, and real accountability — this isn't another diet. It's the approach your body has been waiting for.
Comprehensive labs, metabolic analysis, and a real conversation about what you're experiencing — not a 7-minute appointment.
GLP-1 medication and/or HRT (if eligible), custom meal plans, and a strategy designed for your unique hormonal landscape.
Weekly check-ins, biometric tracking, dose adjustments, and a doctor who knows your name — not your file number.
We don't disappear after the scale moves. Phase two keeps the weight off and builds metabolic resilience for life.
Every pillar of our program works together to create results that last. This is concierge care, not a prescription mill.
FDA-backed GLP-1 medications and bioidentical HRT that address the hormonal and metabolic barriers making weight loss feel impossible. Clinically tested, stimulant-free, and physician-managed.
We don't just treat weight — we treat the hormonal disruption causing it. 50+ biomarker panels, metabolic assessments, and a plan that honors your unique biology.
Weekly check-ins with a board-certified MD. Custom meal plans. Direct access to your physician. A community vault with workouts, trackers, and more. You're never guessing alone.

She built Gaya Wellness because she was tired of watching women be dismissed by a system that wasn't designed for them. Your weight loss program is physician-led from day one — not outsourced to health coaches or NPs.
"I joined Gaya's Weight Loss program a couple months ago. So far I have lost 10 pounds and several inches. What I am most impressed with is the awareness I have developed regarding my relationship with food."
"For the first time in my life I've found a doctor that wants to help me achieve being the best I can be with my health. Dr. Patel is caring and compassionate."
"Dr. Patel is like no other doctor and truly listens to concerns and thinks outside the box. She truly cares about you as a whole person: mind, body, and spirit."
Every tier is physician-led, evidence-based, and designed specifically for women in midlife. Start where it makes sense for you.

*Medication pricing is based on standard dosing. Pricing may increase for Tirzepatide doses above 10mg/week based on individual clinical needs. Your physician will discuss any dosing adjustments and associated costs before changes are made. Quarterly commitment pricing requires enrollment in a 3-month billing cycle. All plans are subject to medical eligibility.
You may be eligible if you're between 18–64, with a BMI of 30 or higher (or 27+ with a metabolic condition such as diabetes, high cholesterol, PCOS, or high blood pressure). Dr. Patel will review your full health profile during your initial consultation to determine the best path for you.
Yes. Consultations, check-ins, and follow-ups are all virtual. We'll order labs at a facility near you, and any medication ships directly to your door. Concierge care from the comfort of your home.
Foundation (GLP-1 Access) gives you physician-led guidance, labs, prior authorization support, and access to prescriptions — ideal if you already have insurance-covered medication or want the support framework. Premium (GLP-1 Included) adds compounded GLP-1 medication in your membership, shipped to your door. Concierge (GLP-1 + HRT) adds bioidentical HRT alongside GLP-1, which emerging research suggests produces better weight loss outcomes than GLP-1 therapy alone.
It depends on your carrier and plan. We provide full prior authorization support — we'll submit the needed paperwork to help you determine if your insurance will cover brand-name GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro. If you're approved, you can join our Foundation tier for the support and community while using your insurance-covered medication.
Absolutely. Every Gaya Wellness service is eligible for HSA and FSA payment. We also accept all major credit and debit cards.
Emerging clinical data suggests that combining bioidentical HRT with GLP-1 therapy produces better weight loss outcomes than GLP-1 alone — especially for women in perimenopause and menopause. By addressing both metabolic and hormonal pathways simultaneously, the Concierge tier offers the most complete approach to midlife weight management available today.
Most programs treat the symptom — your weight. We treat the root cause — your hormones, metabolism, and the biological shifts of midlife. You get a board-certified OB/GYN (not a health coach) who understands exactly what your body is going through. This is physician-led, medically managed, and built specifically for women 40+.
You've spent enough time blaming yourself for something that was never your fault. Your body changed. Now it's time your approach did too. Let's do this — together.
Find Your ProgramResearch shows that combining HRT with GLP-1 therapy produces better weight loss outcomes for women in perimenopause and menopause. Our Hormone Concierge program addresses the hormonal root cause — and pairs perfectly with Weight Loss Concierge.
