A Comprehensive Approach to Medically Supervised Weight Management

Addressing the Whole Person, Not Just the Scale

Dr. Pallin’s philosophy centers on two core beliefs:

  1. Weight is a medical condition, not a personal failure.

  2. Sustainable weight loss requires medical understanding and individualized treatment.

Her practice addresses the multiple dimensions of weight and metabolism:

  • Hormonal imbalance

  • Insulin resistance

  • Genetics

  • Inflammation

  • Medications

  • Stress and sleep patterns

  • Nutrition and movement

  • Behavioral and emotional health

This whole-person approach helps patients understand the why behind their struggles, which is crucial for long-term success.

Medically Supervised Programs for Safe, Effective Results

New Start Medical delivers comprehensive weight management grounded in clinical science and metabolic physiology. Patients receive:

  • Detailed metabolic assessments

  • Personalized nutrition guidance

  • Lifestyle medicine coaching

  • Medication management when appropriate

  • Close monitoring of medical conditions

Unlike quick-fix diets or commercial plans, Dr. Pallin’s programs are designed for patients who want a safe, structured, medical pathway to lasting health improvements.

Improving Cardiometabolic Health Through Lifestyle Medicine

Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Disease

One of Dr. Pallin’s greatest passions is the prevention and management of cardio-metabolic conditions, including:

  • High blood pressure

  • High cholesterol

  • Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes

Because these conditions are strongly affected by lifestyle, Dr. Pallin incorporates personalized strategies that support:

  • Improved glucose regulation

  • Reduced cardiovascular risk

  • Enhanced metabolic flexibility

  • Healthier liver function

  • Better long-term outcomes

This integrative approach empowers patients to take charge of conditions that may otherwise progress silently for years.

Dr. Pallin’s patients often describe her approach as supportive, encouraging, and deeply informed. She believes in creating a space where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered—not judged.
