A Collaborative Approach to Patient Care
Focused on Your Patients’ Needs
Behavior change takes time. And it takes regular, consistent intervention and support. At Whole Health Partners, we are firmly committed to a collaborative approach with directly amplifies your role as a primary care provider.
This means that:
We never prescribe or de-prescribing medications*
We always focus on understanding a patient's underlying medical conditions, existing care plan, and overall health journey
We always share, with a patient’s permission, as much as possible with the referring PCP
Throughout this work, our goal is to provide the kind of regular—even weekly—interventions and support that helps ensure successful behavior change and compliance.
*Where appropriate, we do prescribe CGM to get a real time understanding of how diet and lifestyle influence a patient’s blood glucose.
We Can Help Your Patients With:
Weight loss and weight management
Managing chronic illness
Behavior change strategies to augment the use of GLP-1 medications.

Maximizing the Benefit of GLP-1s
Like many medications, GLP-1s work best when combined with lifestyle modifications — meaning that patients are able to develop new behaviors and habits that allow them to sustain weight loss for the long term, even if they discontinue medications.
We never prescribe or de-prescribe medication, but we will work closely with your patients - and you, as their primary care provider - to ensure our care plans and counseling help to optimize medications, and ensure continued, long-term success.
Do All Patients See a Clinician?
Yes. Our clinicians and registered dietitians have different backgrounds and training, and each bring unique insights to the care of the patients we have the opportunity to see. Our priority is to be sure that each of those individuals get the best we have to offer, and making sure that our care is complementary to - not duplicative of - your role as the primary care provider.
