Physician-Supervised Medical Weight Loss That Treats the Root Cause
If you've struggled to lose weight despite eating healthier and exercising, the problem may not be a lack of effort. Weight gain is often influenced by underlying factors such as hormone imbalances, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, poor sleep, elevated stress hormones, or age-related metabolic changes.
At DNA Wellness & Longevity Institute in Bonita Springs, Dr. Katherine Ortiz provides physician-supervised medical weight loss by identifying the biological factors affecting your metabolism before recommending treatment. Every patient begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation, advanced laboratory testing, and a personalized plan designed to improve metabolic health, preserve lean muscle, reduce excess body fat, and create sustainable long-term results.
Every treatment plan is personalized based on your medical evaluation and long-term health goals. Depending on your individual needs, your program may include nutrition counseling, lifestyle modifications, hormone optimization, peptide therapy, lipotropic injections, targeted supplementation, or GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate.

How They Work
Why Medical Weight Loss Is Different
Successful weight loss is about more than reducing calories. Your metabolism is influenced by hormones, insulin sensitivity, muscle mass, sleep quality, stress, inflammation, and nutritional status. When one or more of these systems are not functioning properly, losing weight can become significantly more difficult—even when you're doing everything right.
Our physician-supervised approach focuses on identifying and correcting these underlying issues rather than simply treating the number on the scale. Through comprehensive testing and ongoing medical supervision, we develop a treatment plan based on your individual health profile and long-term goals.
Depending on your needs, your personalized program may include:
Lifestyle and nutrition coaching designed to support long-term metabolic health
Rather than focusing on quick fixes, our goal is to improve the systems that regulate metabolism so you can lose weight safely, maintain your results, and reduce your risk of future chronic disease.
