Medical Weight Loss
White Onyx Functional Medicine · Gardner, MA
Functional Medicine for Weight Loss
Lose the weight and keep it off.
Weight loss is rarely just about willpower. At White Onyx, our medical weight loss program takes a deeper approach—looking beyond the number on the scale to understand the biological factors influencing your metabolism, hormones, energy, and overall health.
Through our Root Cause Reset program, we combine advanced testing, functional medicine principles, and personalized support to uncover what may be contributing to weight-loss resistance and create a strategy designed for sustainable results.
Medications such as GLP-1 therapies may be incorporated when clinically appropriate, but they are one tool within a comprehensive plan—not the entire solution.
What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Understanding the why behind weight challenges.
Traditional weight loss approaches often focus only on calories, exercise, or quick solutions. Functional medical weight loss takes a different approach by looking at the underlying factors that influence your ability to lose weight and maintain results.
At White Onyx, we evaluate the bigger picture—including hormones, metabolism, nutrition, inflammation, lifestyle, and other health factors—to better understand why your body may be struggling. The Root Cause Reset is a personalized, data-driven framework designed to uncover what is affecting your health and create a clear roadmap forward. Through testing, targeted recommendations, and ongoing support, we help you build the foundation for lasting change.
Weight challenges are often more complex than they appear.
You may be doing everything “right” and still feel like your body is working against you. Functional medicine weight loss can help uncover and address factors that may contribute to your weight loss resistance and other symptoms.
At White Onyx, we take a deeper look at your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and laboratory findings to understand the patterns affecting your well-being. We treat the whole person through a root cause approach, identifying the core reasons for your weight challenges and other symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Medical Weight Loss
Will I be prescribed a GLP-1 medication?
Medication recommendations are based on your individual health history, goals, and clinical findings. While GLP-1 medications may be an appropriate tool for some patients, they are not the focus of our approach. White Onyx uses a functional medicine framework that looks deeper into your health, including metabolism, hormones, lifestyle, and other factors that may contribute to weight challenges.
What is the Root Cause Reset program?
The Root Cause Reset is White Onyx’s personalized functional medicine approach designed to uncover the factors affecting your health and create a roadmap for lasting change. Through advanced testing, individualized recommendations, and ongoing support, we focus on building a stronger foundation for long-term wellness.
How is this different from a traditional weight loss program?
Many weight loss programs focus primarily on the number on the scale. Our approach looks at the whole picture—identifying the factors that may be making weight loss difficult and creating a personalized plan designed to support lasting change.
Do you offer telehealth medical weight loss appointments?
Yes. White Onyx offers secure telehealth appointments, allowing patients to receive functional medical weight loss support from the comfort of home. Virtual visits may include consultations, follow-ups, lab reviews, and ongoing guidance throughout your program.
What life changes will I need to make for medical weight loss?
At White Onyx, we believe lasting results come from supporting the whole person—not relying on a single tool or quick fix. Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and other lifestyle factors are important parts of your plan. Medications or other therapies may be used when appropriate, but they are designed to support your overall strategy—not replace the foundational changes that create long-term health.
