Hi, I’m Dr Nicholas Kaknes.

For the past 15 years, I’ve worked as an Internal Medicine physician within Veterans Affairs Medical Centers treating patients with a broad range of acute and chronic conditions. The most prominent challenge that I encounter in helping patients is the ability to access comprehensive care to treat the symptoms that come along with metabolic dysfunction, including excess body weight. As a physician with board certifications in internal medicine and obesity medicine, I recognize that for too long the medical field has treated the complications of metabolic dysfunction as a personal behavioral challenge, instead of the chronic disease that it is.

Research-driven Approach

Our weight loss program is backed by extensive research, ensuring that every method and recommendation is scientifically validated for effectiveness and safety.

Recognizing your unique needs, preferences, and goals, we customize our weight loss plans to optimize your success, offering personalized attention and support.

Comprehensive Support:

As your weight loss doctor, we provide comprehensive support, including regular check-ins, progress monitoring, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle counseling, ensuring sustainable results.

I started GluTox Health to help patients access evidence-based treatments to lose excess body weight and improve overall metabolic health. Newly available medications have demonstrated an ability to transform how we treat metabolic health, but they face serious challenges in accessibility, affordability, and adherence. At GluTox Health, we are here to help navigate those challenges with you, and to help you on your own path to feeling fitter, stronger, and healthier.
