Transform Your Relationship with Food: Achieve Sustainable Weight Control with Comprehensive Counseling

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

SeeBeyond Medicine offers an innovative, evidence-based approach to weight management that goes beyond traditional diets and willpower. Our physician-led counseling program combines personalized nutrition guidance, behavioral therapy, and functional medicine to address the root causes of weight challenges, whether physiological, psychological, or lifestyle-based.

The Weight Management Struggle: When You’ve Tried Everything

Does this sound familiar?

  • Have you tried countless diets only to regain the weight you’ve lost?
  • Do you feel trapped in a cycle of cravings and emotional eating that seems impossible to break?
  • Have you experienced success with weight loss only to find yourself sabotaging your own progress?
  • Do you feel like your relationship with food is working against your health goals?
  • Are you tired of being told to “just eat less and exercise more” when you know there’s something deeper going on?

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, our weight management counseling services are designed for you. Conventional approaches often fail because they treat only symptoms rather than addressing root causes: your relationship with food, underlying health conditions, and emotional patterns that drive eating behaviors.

At SeeBeyond Medicine, we understand that persistent weight challenges aren’t simply about lack of willpower. For many, it’s a complex interplay of hormonal imbalances, emotional triggers, metabolic factors, and ingrained habits that require a multifaceted approach.

Our Comprehensive Weight Management Approach

Our program addresses the full spectrum of factors influencing weight management:

  1. Personalized Nutritional Assessment: Our functional medicine practitioners evaluate your metabolic health, food sensitivities, and nutritional needs to create sustainable eating strategies tailored to your unique biochemistry.
  2. Behavioral Therapy: Identify emotional triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms through evidence-based techniques that transform your relationship with food.
  3. Metabolic Optimization: Comprehensive testing identifies hormonal imbalances in insulin, cortisol, thyroid, and sex hormones that may be sabotaging your weight management efforts.
  4. Mindfulness Training: Learn practical techniques to recognize hunger cues, manage stress without turning to food, and develop conscious eating habits.
  5. Advanced Treatment Options: We integrate Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, nutritional IV therapy, targeted supplements, and acupuncture for enhanced results.
  6. Ongoing Support: Regular check-ins and community support help you navigate challenges and maintain long-term success.

What is TMS Therapy in Weight Management Counselling?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy represents a groundbreaking advancement in our weight management approach. This FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to modulate neural activity in specific brain regions associated with food cravings, impulse control, and reward processing.

For individuals struggling with persistent weight management challenges, TMS can help regulate the brain circuits that drive compulsive eating behaviors and food cravings. The therapy works by temporarily stimulating or inhibiting targeted neural pathways, effectively “retraining” the brain’s response to food triggers. Sessions are painless, medication-free, and patients remain fully conscious throughout the brief treatments.

At SeeBeyond Medicine, we integrate TMS therapy as part of our comprehensive weight management program, particularly for patients who experience intense cravings or compulsive eating patterns that haven’t responded adequately to traditional approaches. This neurological intervention complements our behavioral and nutritional strategies, providing a multi-dimensional approach to addressing deeply ingrained eating patterns.

Why Our Weight Management Counseling is Different

Our unique protocol includes four key components you won’t find at traditional weight loss clinics:

Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment)

We measure your brain chemistry before and after treatment to track real, measurable changes in key neurotransmitters including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA which are all critical regulators of mood, impulse control, and appetite. This allows us to personalize your treatment based on your unique neurochemical profile rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Calm IV Therapy

To enhance your TMS sessions, we provide specialized intravenous therapy formulated with magnesium and B vitamins. These are nutrients clinically proven to support neurotransmitter production, reduce anxiety, and stabilize mood. This IV delivery bypasses the digestive system for immediate absorption, creating the optimal biochemical environment for your brain to respond to TMS treatment.

Integrated Acupuncture Sessions

Studies show that combining acupuncture with TMS significantly enhances clinical outcomes. Acupuncture helps reduce stress and anxiety that often trigger unhealthy eating patterns, decreases inflammatory markers, and increases levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) which is a protein essential for forming new neural connections. This combination therapy strengthens the brain’s ability to form healthier patterns around food and eating.

Health Coach Brain Health Sessions

Your journey includes personalized guidance from our health coach on brain-supportive nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle modifications. Rather than restrictive dieting that can trigger metabolic resistance, you’ll learn evidence-based approaches to nourish your brain, regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and develop a healthier relationship with food that supports long-term weight management.

This integrated approach creates a synergistic effect that addresses weight management from multiple angles: neurological, biochemical, emotional, and behavioral. By creating the optimal conditions for your brain to heal and form new patterns, we help you achieve more comprehensive and lasting results than possible with conventional weight management approaches alone.

Your Partners in Healing in NY and CT

At SeeBeyond Medicine, your weight management journey is guided by our expert team of functional medicine specialists led by Dr. Joon Lee. We reject the simplistic “calories in, calories out” model and instead take the time to understand your unique biology, history, and relationship with food.

We believe lasting weight management is possible when we address root causes, not just symptoms. Our approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and based on the understanding that your struggle isn’t a moral failing but a complex interplay of biochemistry, psychology, and lifestyle patterns.

Is TMS for Weight Management Counseling Right for You?

Our comprehensive TMS approach may be ideal for you if:

  • You’ve tried multiple diet programs with initial success but consistently regain the weight
  • You experience intense food cravings that feel neurologically driven and difficult to control
  • Emotional or stress eating feels compulsive rather than just habitual
  • You’ve been diagnosed with or suspect disordered eating patterns, particularly binge eating
  • You’ve had limited success with appetite-suppressing medications or behavioral therapy alone
  • Traditional weight management approaches haven’t addressed your brain’s reward response to food
  • You find yourself making food choices that conflict with your conscious intentions
  • You’re seeking an evidence-based neurological intervention rather than just another willpower-based approach
  • You’re committed to a comprehensive program that addresses both brain patterns and lifestyle factors
  • You want to address the underlying neural circuits driving weight challenges rather than just managing symptoms

Frequently Asked Questions About TMS for Weight Management

What does the initial TMS consultation involve?

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute neurological assessment where we review your health history, weight management challenges, relationship with food, and relevant medical factors. We’ll conduct initial neurotransmitter testing, assess your brain’s response patterns to food cues, and develop a personalized TMS protocol tailored to your specific neurological profile.

How many TMS sessions will I need?

Most clients begin with a series of 20-30 TMS sessions administered 3-5 times weekly for 4-6 weeks, followed by maintenance sessions as needed. Your protocol will be customized based on your neurological assessment, specific eating patterns, and progress throughout treatment. We carefully track your response to optimize the treatment schedule.

Is TMS therapy painful or invasive?

TMS therapy is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. During sessions, you’ll feel a tapping sensation on your scalp as the magnetic pulses stimulate targeted brain regions. No anesthesia is required, and you remain fully conscious throughout the brief 20-40 minute treatments. You can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

How is TMS different from standard weight management approaches?

Unlike traditional programs that focus solely on diet modification and willpower, TMS addresses the neurological basis of eating behaviors by directly modulating activity in brain regions controlling cravings, impulse control, and reward processing. This helps recalibrate neural circuits that drive problematic eating patterns at their source.

Will I still need to make dietary changes with TMS therapy?

Yes, but in a different way. Our Health Coach Brain Health Sessions work in synergy with TMS by teaching you how to support optimal brain function through nutrition. Rather than restrictive dieting that can trigger neural resistance, you’ll learn how specific foods and eating patterns can enhance TMS effectiveness by supporting neurotransmitter production and reducing inflammation.

How quickly will I see results with TMS for weight management?

Most clients begin experiencing reduced food cravings and improved impulse control around eating within 2-3 weeks of starting TMS therapy. Changes in eating behaviors typically follow, with physical changes developing as these neurologically supported behavioral patterns become established. The full benefits of TMS therapy generally emerge over the complete treatment course and continue to strengthen during the maintenance phase.

Breaking free from the cycle of yo-yo dieting, cravings, emotional eating, and weight struggles is possible, and it begins by addressing the root causes.
