About
Anise Medical is a medical practice specializing in weight loss and metabolic health in Brooklyn, New York. The practice treats patients seeking to address obesity and weight-related conditions including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, and chronic joint pain. The clinic serves both those beginning their weight loss journey and those currently taking GLP-1 medications who need guidance on lifestyle changes and muscle preservation.
The practice is founded on the understanding that obesity is a complex disease involving brain-body circuits that simple calorie restriction does not adequately address. Rather than judgment-based approaches, the clinic offers medically supervised treatment grounded in evidence-based methods. The founder and physician has personal experience with long-term weight management challenges and combines training in both culinary arts and obesity medicine. The practice emphasizes creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard while developing the knowledge and tools for sustained metabolic change and improved quality of life.
