  • The UCLA Medical Weight Management Program, previously known as the Risk Factor Obesity Clinic (RFO), has been UCLA's distinguished weight loss clinic for more than 45 years. The Weight Management Program was one of the first university programs to research very low-calorie diets (VLCDs) in the treatment of obesity. It started under the leadership David Heber, MD, PhD and Morton H. Maxwell, MD, and has continued to grow since then. Our program features a multidisciplinary team of experienced physicians, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, clinical psychologists and therapists who are passionate about weight management. We utilize a combination of dietary, physical activity and behavioral lifestyle changes, which are individually tailored to fit each individual’s weight loss goals.  The UCLA Medical Weight Management Program was described by the US News and World Report as "one of the most thorough weight management programs in the country." This is not covered by insurance.
  • The primary areas of practice of the UCLA Clinical Nutrition Clinic are treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-associated diseases. Our board-certified physician nutrition specialists integrate cutting-edge research on nutrition, and use of phytochemicals and botanical dietary supplements to prevent and treat common forms of metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

    Sudarshan Kriya and accompanying breathing practices, referred to collectively as SKT and taught through the Art of Living Foundation worldwide, have been found to enhance brain, hormone, immune and cardiovascular system function. Published research shows that SKY significantly reduces stress, depression, anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and significantly increases well-being both mentally and physically. Research also demonstrates that the effects of SKY reach all the way down to the molecular level, to our DNA. Over 100 independent studies conducted on four continents and published in peer reviewed journals, have demonstrated a comprehensive range of benefits from SKY practice.
