Marc Lawrence, MD

Hi,

Thanks for visiting OMG medical weight loss! My name is Marc Lawrence and I am a diet and anti-aging doctor (board certified Physician Nutrition Specialist).

I am a board certified Physician Nutrition Specialist with training in general surgery and emergency medicine. Over the years, I have seen the toll that a poor diet and lifestyle has inflicted on many patients and their families. Many of the diseases that are common in our society (diabetes, heart disease, obesity, renal failure, stroke, cancer, hypertension) are the direct result of a poor diet and nutrition. The approach of western medicine is fundamentally flawed in that we, as physicians, are trained to treat the symptoms while the underlying disease goes unchecked. Physicians will prescribe a statin to lower your blood cholesterol levels while the real answer lies at the grocery store! Additionally without changing a patient’s diet, their cholesterol numbers will go down however the same processes that lead to higher cholesterol levels are causing elevated blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and the like.

My approach to weight loss is quite a bit differently than other physicians who practice bariatric weight loss. Bariatrics is just a fancy term describing the branch of medicine that deals with the the prevention and treatment of obesity. You may have even tried different diets such low carb, low fat, high protein, high fiber or low glycemic. Fundamentally I believe these approaches are flawed in that they attempt to quantify weight loss in terms of a number; number of grams of carbs, number of grams of protein etc. Thankfully weight loss is a lot simplier than this. I strongly believe that weight loss is due to the over consumption of highly processed foods.

At OMG I developed a food program that is full of the very same nutrient dense whole foods that are bodies evolved on. Your success is guaranteed at the most fundamental level, the genetic level, so you’ll be burning body fat while gaining back your youth and vitality.

I hope to have the privilege of working with you.

Best,
