Services
Every service starts the same way: we measure what's actually happening, find the limiting factor, and treat the cause. Explore the areas where NorthStar goes deeper than a routine visit.
Not all services are available yet. Telehealth appointments are anticipated to begin in late November 2026 for select patients. Please contact our office for additional information regarding eligibility and availability. In-person appointments and diagnostic testing are planned to begin in January 2027.
Weight & Obesity
Obesity Medicine
Physician-led, board-certified obesity medicine. NorthStar treats obesity as the chronic, regulated metabolic condition it is — with measurement, individualized treatment, and long-term care.
Learn moreMedical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss at NorthStar is built on measurement: metabolic rate, body composition, and the factors that defend your weight. Lose fat, protect muscle, and keep it off.
Learn moreGLP-1 Therapy
GLP-1 medications can be powerful tools for weight and metabolic health. NorthStar uses them deliberately — with testing, muscle protection, and a plan for the long term.
Learn moreMetabolic Health
Metabolic Health
A comprehensive metabolic evaluation that measures body composition, fitness, and fuel handling to tell you where you truly stand — and what to change first.
Learn moreInsulin Resistance
Insulin resistance drives weight gain, fatigue, and long-term disease — often years before blood sugar rises. NorthStar finds it early and targets what reverses it.
Learn morePrediabetes
Prediabetes is often reversible with the right, measured approach. NorthStar treats it as an opportunity to change course before diabetes develops.
Learn moreWomen's Metabolic Health
Women's metabolism shifts with hormones, perimenopause, and menopause. NorthStar measures and addresses these changes with care designed for them.
Learn moreFatigue Evaluation
Persistent fatigue usually has a measurable cause. NorthStar evaluates fitness, body composition, and metabolic markers to find what's draining your energy.
Learn moreTesting
Body Composition (DEXA)
DEXA measures fat, muscle, and bone precisely — including visceral fat. NorthStar uses it to set a true baseline and track real progress.
Learn moreResting Metabolic Rate Testing
Resting metabolic rate testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest, by analyzing your breath. NorthStar uses it to build plans on facts, not estimates.
Learn moreCardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
CPET measures how well your heart, lungs, and muscles use oxygen — including VO₂ max and training thresholds. NorthStar uses it to assess health and prescribe exercise precisely.
Learn morePerformance & Longevity
Performance Optimization
For athletes and active adults, NorthStar measures fitness, thresholds, and body composition to optimize training, recovery, and longevity.
Learn moreSarcopenia
Muscle loss quietly drives fatigue, frailty, and metabolic decline. NorthStar measures muscle and reverses what can be reversed with targeted training and nutrition.
Learn moreOngoing Care
Nutrition Optimization
NorthStar designs nutrition around your measured metabolism and body composition — protein, fiber, and energy targets that fit your physiology and your life.
Learn moreExercise Prescription
NorthStar turns your test results into a precise exercise plan — the right mix of Zone 2, intensity, and resistance training for your physiology and goals.
Learn moreLongitudinal Metabolic Care
Metabolic health changes over time. NorthStar follows your numbers across the year, confirming what's working and adjusting before problems return.
