Patient stories
Real results, real patients.
Hear from patients who found lasting change at Healthy You.
"Dr. Borensztein is terrific! So understanding and approachable. Her practice model is one more physicians should consider. I've lost over 40 pounds under her care."
"I've been a patient for over four years and followed her from two previous practices. She manages my hypothyroidism and weight loss — I've lost about 60 pounds with her help."
"She listens to everything I tell her. If something doesn't work she gives me other options to help me succeed with my weight loss goals. I highly recommend her."
"After seeing many doctors who rush appointments and don't follow up, Dr. Borensztein is a breath of fresh air. She listens and stays on top of everything."

Why choose us
What Makes Healthy You Different
Most weight loss programs treat the symptom. We treat the whole person.
Genetic Testing for Precision Care
We offer specialized genetic testing for patients who may have hereditary forms of obesity — identifying the right medications and strategies for your biology, not a textbook average.
InBody 570 Body Composition Analysis
The scale only tells part of the story. Our InBody 570 tracks fat loss, muscle mass, and metabolic markers at every visit — so you can see exactly what's changing and why it matters.
The Full Range of FDA-Approved Medications
From Wegovy and Zepbound to Qsymia and phentermine — we prescribe based on your health history, not availability. Triple board-certified expertise means safer, smarter prescribing.
A Partner, Not Just a Prescriber
Unlimited messaging, direct phone access, nutrition guidance, and a custom exercise plan — all included. We're with you between appointments, not just during them.
Root-Cause Medicine, Not Quick Fixes
We evaluate hormones, insulin resistance, thyroid function, and more before building your plan. Because lasting weight loss starts with understanding why — not just how much.
Transparent, Direct Care Pricing
No insurance runaround. No surprise bills. Our direct care model means more time with your doctor and a clear, flat membership fee — so you always know exactly what you're paying for.
Who Can Benefit From Medical Weight Loss With GLP-1s & Other Weight Loss Medications?
GLP-1s & other weight loss medications are powerful tools for adults struggling with obesity or weight-related health conditions. These medications work by regulating appetite, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting satiety. You may be a candidate if:
You’ve tried lifestyle changes without success
You struggle with cravings or binge eating
You have conditions like PCOS, insulin resistance, or prediabetes
You’re ready for a medically monitored, long-term solution
We’ll assess your labs, medical history, and goals to determine if medical weight loss suits you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss
What is the average cost of a medical weight loss clinic?
Costs can vary widely, but at Healthy You, we believe in transparency. Our Direct Care membership is $200/month, which includes all visits. For non-members, visits are $275 each. Medications are typically separate and may be covered by insurance or paid out of pocket, depending on the prescription.
Does insurance cover medical weight loss?
We do not bill insurance directly. This allows us to spend more time with patients and provide high-touch, personalized care. Your pharmacy benefits may cover some medications; we’ll help you explore your options.
What kind of doctor will prescribe weight loss medication?
Only physicians trained in obesity medicine and endocrinology should prescribe weight loss medications. At Healthy You, Dr. Borensztein is board-certified in both, ensuring expert, safe prescribing.
How do weight loss medications work?
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. They slow gastric emptying, increase satiety, and help the brain feel “full” faster—making it easier to eat less without feeling deprived. Other weight loss medications work as appetite suppressants, fat absorption inhibitors, or metabolic enhancers. Each type of medication works differently, and the right one depends on your individual health needs, goals, and how your body responds to treatment.
