The United States is grappling with an obesity crisis that’s responsible for one in five deaths and costs the country nearly $150 billion per year.
Obesity is even linked to a host of serious chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Everyone’s journey to health and weight loss is unique, and Dr. Sekhon understands this.
Being obese is more than just needing to lose a few pounds. You’re considered clinically obese if your weight exceeds a healthy range for your height and build.
A common tool used to determine whether a person is within a normal weight range is the Body Mass Index (BMI), which measures body fat based on weight and height.
