We offer a suite of services and support to address weight challenges and the underlying health conditions that often fuel them, whether you’re looking to shed excess pounds, regain strength after illness, or simply understand why your body isn’t responding the way it used to.
Figuring out your weight shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. And it shouldn’t feel like something you’re meant to solve alone. At The Center for Fully Functional Health in Carmel, we offer a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to weight management that’s guided by lab testing, integrative therapies, nutrition planning, and real clinical insight – not fad diets or social media advice.
For many patients, changes in weight are one of the first signs that something deeper is going on. You might be gaining weight even though you haven’t changed your eating habits, or you might be dropping pounds too fast, struggling to eat, or feeling physically weak.
We’ve seen both and everything in between.
Weight management means figuring out why your body is off balance and giving it what it needs to stabilize. That could mean addressing inflammation, hormone fluctuations, nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune triggers, gut dysfunction, or even trauma-related stress. In the case of conditions like PANS/PANDAS (a complex autoimmune disorder in which Dr. Scott Antoine is an internationally recognized expert), severe weight loss and food aversion are often part of the picture, and helping patients gain weight safely becomes a vital part of their care.
Effective weight gain and weight loss both start the same way: by stopping the guesswork. At CFFH, we take a close look at your full health picture – labs, symptoms, lifestyle, goals – and build a plan that’s rooted in science and made to work for you.
When your plan is customized to your body, things start to shift in a way that feels real and sustainable.
Patients often tell us they feel more energized, less foggy, and more in tune with their hunger cues. Their digestion improves. Their mood stabilizes. Their strength comes back. And they finally stop feeling like their body is working against them.
That’s the impact of treating the root cause, not just the symptom. We’re not here to micromanage your food log. We’re here to help you feel better in your body and trust it again.
There is no single number that defines “healthy.” What matters is how your body functions – and how you feel living in it.
Weight management is highly individual. A person recovering from chronic illness, mold exposure, or autoimmunity may need to prioritize healing and safe weight gain. Someone dealing with insulin resistance or hormone shifts might need to reduce inflammation and support metabolism to see meaningful changes. We help patients understand their unique physiology and give them the tools to work with it, not against it.
Our Weight Management Focus Appointment Package is a comprehensive evaluation that includes two in-depth appointments, baseline labs, and a full review of your medical history. From there, we’ll build a plan that fits your needs, not just your symptoms.
Every plan begins with a real conversation – no pressure, no assumptions.
Your appointment includes:
Plans are flexible and evolve with you. As your body changes, your care will too.
Nutrition is a core part of our weight management program, but we don’t believe in restriction for the sake of it. We help you eat in a way that supports your biology and still works in real life.
Whether we’re helping you rebuild appetite after illness, manage blood sugar swings, or support detox pathways, our health coaches and physicians work together to guide your food choices with clarity and compassion. We offer anti-inflammatory meal plans tailored to your needs – Paleo, Grain-Free, AIP, Low-FODMAP, and more – so you can feel better without feeling deprived.

These services are always offered through a functional lens, prioritizing your health as much as your appearance.
This isn’t a crash diet. It’s not a supplement subscription. It’s a medically informed plan, built by a team that understands the science of weight and the humanity behind it.
Led by Drs. Ellen and Scott Antoine, our team blends decades of emergency and integrative medicine experience to help patients reach sustainable, realistic health goals. We’ve worked with patients who’ve felt dismissed, overlooked, and burned out by the healthcare system. We listen. We dig deeper. And we stay with you.
From autoimmune weight loss to stress-related weight gain, we’ve seen how complex weight changes can get – and how powerful the right plan can be when it’s based on real root causes.
We don’t use a one-size-fits-all plan or rely on calorie restriction or increases alone. We evaluate hormone levels, inflammation, gut health, and other clinical markers to understand what your body is missing or overwhelmed by, then build a care plan around that.
Absolutely. Many of our patients are recovering from illness or looking to regain strength and function. We help identify the causes of weight loss or poor muscle development and support recovery with targeted therapies.
Every patient’s body responds differently, but many report improved energy, digestion, and mood within six weeks. Visible changes in body composition typically take a few months of consistent, supported care.
Some labs and physician services may be reimbursable depending on your plan. Most of our weight management programs are self-pay. We’ll walk you through the costs and options during your consultation.
