START YOUR JOURNEY

Your physique, your way.

I’ve worked with some of the nation’s leading telehealth platforms, and I know what you are looking for:

  • A doctor who is real

  • Who listens to you

  • Who meets you where you’re at to reach your goals

My approach is rooted in listening, understanding, and meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll create lasting solutions tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and body, not someone else’s.

Too often, weight loss becomes a cycle of quick fixes and regained pounds. My mission is to break that cycle by combining evidence-based medicine with realistic lifestyle strategies, so you can achieve results that last.

Having learned from the best in the field of Obesity Medicine through Harvard Medical School, I bring you the most current and effective tools in the field, from advanced therapeutics to personalized coaching.

This is your era. You define the destination; I’ll help you design the roadmap.

To better days ahead, together.

How it works

step 1 : Order myphenome and initial consultation

If you have tried weight loss medications in the past without success and are looking to start the best, most personalized option for you, then we would recommend testing along with an initial consultation to make the most of your visit.

step 2 : Book your consult

If you have ordered MyPhenome, we would advise booking your initial consult 3-4 weeks after the test to ensure available results.

Alternatively, you can schedule an initial consult with Dr. Rooney as your first step to discuss treatment options and next steps forward. You will need to be invited to our HIPAA compliant patient portal FollowMyHealth to schedule the appointment. This will occur automatically following your order of consultation.

step 3 : Partner with your Trainer

Part of the multipronged approach to weight loss and maintenance is optimizing lifestyle changes. Gerald can help you wherever your starting point may be!

step 4 : Follow up and stay supported!

Medication options you may be prescribed:

  • Semaglutide is an FDA-approved injectable medication originally used to manage type 2 diabetes. Today, it's also prescribed for medical weight loss due to its powerful appetite-suppressing effects.

    It works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) that helps regulate hunger, blood sugar, and digestion. This results in fewer cravings, a feeling of fullness, and gradual, sustainable weight loss.

  • Zepbound is an injectable prescription medicine that may help adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and obesity to improve their OSA. Zepbound should be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Zepbound contains tirzepatide.

  • $249

    Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics two key hormones in your body—GLP-1 and GIP—which regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar.

    Originally used for type 2 diabetes, Tirzepatide is now prescribed for weight loss thanks to its dual-action formula that helps you:

    • Feel full faster

    • Reduce cravings

    • Burn fat more efficiently

    We source our compounded medication from the Licensed Sterile 503A Compounding Pharmacy Casa Pharma Rx.
