What this area of care covers

Weight that will not move usually has a metabolic reason behind it, and willpower is not a treatment for a metabolic problem. Care here starts with lab work and runs under medical oversight. We treat two separate jobs separately: changing how your body handles energy, and reducing fat in one stubborn area. Dr. Justin Bergin, DC leads the practice, and your plan is written for you.

Dr. Justin Bergin, DC performs every examination personally, 22 years into practice, at Lakeland and at Lady Lake for the Villages market.

Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss here is medically supervised and built on your own lab results, not on a packaged plan. GLP-1 medication is used where it is appropriate, alongside nutrition, and it is reviewed rather than issued on repeat. We publish no price, because every plan is built for one person. The front desk walks you through what affects the cost and what is included. Read about a medically supervised weight program built on your labs.

Body Contouring

Body contouring is a different job from weight loss. It treats a localized area that has not responded to a lower weight, using Ultraslim, a non-surgical device applied to the skin over that area. There is no anesthetic, no incision and no recovery period. It suits people already close to their target rather than people at the start. See what non-surgical fat reduction with Ultraslim involves.

Why This Practice

Dr. Justin Bergin, DC has practiced for 22 years. We offer weight loss care inside a chiropractic and regenerative practice because the problems overlap. Patients come in because a knee hurts, and leave having learned that their blood sugar is why it will not settle. Weight, inflammation, gut health and the load on your joints are one conversation here instead of four referrals, and functional testing is two doors down. Medication is supervised, not just dispensed. Cleveland Clinic notes that GLP-1 medication works alongside dietary and lifestyle change rather than instead of it, and that is how it is used here.

Getting to Each Office

The Lakeland office is on S. Florida Avenue in South Lakeland, a short run from Harden Blvd and about 15 minutes south of Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center. Dixieland, Highland City and Christina are all inside a fifteen-minute drive. Follow-up visits here are short, and there is parking right at the door of Suite 13. The Lady Lake office is on North US-441 near CR 466. It serves The Villages, Leesburg and Fruitland Park, where patients often ask about weight at the same time as a sore joint.

This is one of six areas of care at ChiroMed. Start at the ChiroMed practice overview to see how they fit together.

Start With Your Lab Work

Nobody should start a weight plan without knowing what their lab work says. The $47 new patient visit covers the consultation, the exam, X-rays if needed and a written report of findings. It is where we work out whether this is the right care for you at all. If you would rather see the whole practice first, look at how the rest of the practice fits together. Call (863) 940-3444 in Lakeland or (352) 915-7150 in Lady Lake, or request a time online.

“I have had sich a great experience seeing Dr. Bergin. When other offices have told me I just had muscle damage or the only thing they could do for me was give shots, he said he had others ways to manage my pain and numbness, along with improving mobility. And he was right! I feel so much better! With such friendly staff and welcoming office environment, it makes for an amazing experience. I'll definitely continue seeing him!”

How much does a weight loss clinic cost?

Published figures do not tell you much, because they hide what is included: consultations, lab work, medication, follow-up, or none of those. We do not publish a number, and we do not sell a package. Your plan is priced from your lab work and what it says you need. The front desk walks you through what affects the cost, and what is included, before you commit to anything.

the clinic team
Is a weight loss clinic worth it?

It is worth it if the clinic tests rather than guesses. A program that never looks at your thyroid, your fasting insulin or your inflammatory markers is just selling you a diet. For your money you should expect lab work and someone to read it with you. You should also expect medical oversight of anything prescribed, and a plan that changes when your numbers change.

the clinic team
What is the best doctor to see for weight loss?

Look for three things rather than a specialty label. Someone who orders real lab work and reads it with you. Someone who supervises medication properly instead of issuing repeats. Someone who will tell you when weight is not your main problem. Care here is medically supervised and led by a Doctor of Chiropractic, with nutrition and functional testing in the same building.

the clinic team
What is the most successful weight loss treatment?

It varies by person, and the research points at combinations rather than one single treatment. Medication changes your appetite and how you handle glucose. Nutrition changes what you eat. Exercise changes what your muscles do with it. Sleep and stress change the hormones behind all three. A plan that works on one and ignores the rest is the one you are most likely to rebound from.

the clinic team
Do you prescribe GLP-1 medication?

Yes, where it is appropriate, and it is medically supervised. It is not automatic, and not everyone is a candidate. We review it rather than issuing repeats. Your lab work, your history and your other medication decide whether it belongs in your plan. Anyone offering it without lab work and without oversight is cutting a corner that matters.

the clinic team
Will insurance cover medical weight loss?

Medical weight loss is self-pay. Coverage for weight management varies a great deal by plan and by service, and for most of our patients it does not apply. Payment plans are available for self-pay care. Ask the front desk which plan fits your course of care.
