FAQs
Beyond The Weight is a physician-led medical weight loss practice with a focus on obesity and metabolic health, serving both men and women ages 18 and up. Founded by Dr. Shraddha Mehta, a board-certified specialist in Obesity Medicine and Obstetrics & Gynecology (OB/GYN), the practice delivers evidence-based, personalized care for individuals struggling with overweight, obesity, and chronic metabolic conditions.
Our comprehensive programs address a wide range of issues—from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Insulin Resistance and Preconception weight optimization to postpartum weight loss, perimenopause and post menopause weight gain,. Dr. Mehta combines her dual expertise to uncover the root causes of weight gain, offering treatment plans that include medically supervised weight loss, hormonal optimization, nutritional support, and prescription medications when appropriate.
Whether you’re facing stubborn weight that won’t budge, looking to optimize body composition, or seeking long-term solutions beyond fad diets, Beyond The Weight offers expert care designed to help you achieve lasting, sustainable results.
At Beyond The Weight, we do not accept insurance, allowing us to provide highly personalized, practitioner-directed care without the limitations of traditional insurance plans.
While we are an out-of-network provider, we are happy to provide you with a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many of our patients use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) to cover the cost of their care.
By choosing a direct care model, you receive extended one-on-one time with the specialist, customized treatment plans, and expert support that goes far beyond a typical insurance-based visit.
For questions about pricing or how our care may be reimbursed, please contact us directly—we’re happy to help you navigate your options.
At Beyond The Weight, we do not offer weight loss medications without a consultation with our practitioners. The use of prescription weight loss medications—such as GLP-1s and appetite suppressants requires a comprehensive medical evaluation to ensure safety, effectiveness, and clinical appropriateness.
While weight loss medications can be a helpful part of a treatment plan, they are not suitable for everyone. Ongoing prescriptions and refills require follow-up visits at least every 3 months, ensuring that your progress is monitored and your treatment remains safe and effective.
This medically supervised approach ensures that any weight loss medication used is evidence-based, personalized, and aligned with your long-term health goals
- Proactive & Personalized care
- Longer, unhurried appointments
- Appointments begin on time with minimal waiting
- Pharmacy and Prior Authorization assistance for medications
A membership is not required after your initial consultation at Beyond The Weight, but a commitment to ongoing care is highly recommended for long-term success. We offer two membership options designed to support your personalized weight loss journey, including access to ongoing diet plans, food log reviews, lab testing, body composition analysis, medication management, and pharmacy support.
While some patients may benefit from our non-membership services, true and lasting results—especially for conditions like PCOS, menopausal weight gain, or postpartum changes—typically require a structured and consistent approach. Our programs are built around the principle that sustainable weight loss can be achieved with a minimum recommended commitment of three months, and ideally six months or longer

If we can verify that you are under the care of a weight loss medicine provider, then you will be offered a one-time consultation option for a second opinion with one of our practitioners.
