At INcircle Health, we know that health is about much more than a number on the scale. Obesity is a complex condition influenced by genetics, medications, hormones, environment, lifestyle, and community. Many people with obesity also experience stigma, shame, or negative healthcare encounters.

That’s why we provide care that is trauma-informed, stigma-free, and centered on your unique goals. Our approach integrates medical treatment, lifestyle support, and close follow-up, all delivered in a respectful environment where you are truly seen and heard.

Treating Obesity with Science, Compassion, and Respect

At INcircle Health, we treat obesity as the complex, chronic health condition it is—not just a number on the scale. We follow the latest science and a compassionate, whole-person approach to help you improve health, prevent complications, and feel your best.

Understanding the Stages of Obesity

We recognize that obesity develops in stages, and each stage deserves thoughtful, respectful care:

  • Pre-clinical obesity – Extra body fat is present, but organ function is still normal. This stage carries a higher risk for future problems like diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.

  • Clinical obesity – Excess body fat is already affecting health, limiting daily activities, or causing organ or tissue changes.

Instead of relying on BMI alone, we look at the full picture: waist measurements, body composition, lab work, and—most importantly—how your health impacts your daily life.

Our Goals for Your Health

  • Identify your personal health risks early—before symptoms appear.

  • Prevent disease progression through sustainable lifestyle changes, targeted medications, and ongoing monitoring.

  • Focus on organ health and function, not just weight.

  • Reduce stigma by centering care on your well-being, not labels.

  • Offer continuous, judgment-free support so you never face this journey alone.

With INcircle Health, obesity care is fully integrated into your primary care—so every step you take toward a healthier weight is also a step toward better overall health.

Inclusive and Affirming Care

We affirm and welcome patients of all genders, sexual orientations, body types, and cultural backgrounds. We understand that communities disproportionately impacted by obesity—including LGBTQ+ individuals—face unique barriers to compassionate, effective care.

Our commitment:

  • Respectful, stigma-free language at every visit.

  • Trauma-informed care that honors your experiences.

  • Recognition of how social pressures, discrimination, and structural barriers affect health.

  • Collaboration with mental health and nutrition partners when additional support is needed.

Eating Disorder Awareness & Resources

We recognize that weight and body image concerns sometimes overlap with disordered eating. If that’s part of your story, you’ll find care here that is sensitive, respectful, and connected to trusted resources.

Free, reputable resources for eating disorder support include:
