Master Your Engine

Stop the cycle of temporary fixes.

You're not lazy. You're not failing.

For many people, weight gain is driven by metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalance — not lack of effort.

Lose weight, optimize your metabolism, and build a foundation for lifelong health with the most advanced medications available today — overseen by one board-certified NP who actually knows you.

Schedule Your Consultation

Sound Familiar?

Many of my patients come to me after years of trying — and being told their labs are normal.

Here's what I actually hear:

Slow metabolism or hormonal weight gain that won't budge no matter what you do
Stubborn fat — especially around the midsection — that diet and exercise won't touch
Energy crashes that make it hard to function, let alone exercise
Cravings and appetite that feel completely out of your control
You're doing everything right and something still isn't working

This is not a willpower problem. It's a physiology problem — and it's treatable.

How I Work With You

Every program starts with understanding what's actually driving your weight — not just handing you a prescription and wishing you luck. Here's what that looks like:

Full health history and metabolic evaluation
Metabolic labs to see what's actually driving your weight — hormonal evaluation available for those who want to go deeper
GLP-1/GIP medications, phentermine, lipotropic injections, or other medical options when appropriate
Lifestyle coaching on nutrition, movement, sleep, and hydration
Ongoing follow-up and dose adjustments — with me, not a stranger

What my patients notice over time: sustained fat loss, more consistent energy, fewer cravings, better sleep, and a metabolism that finally feels like it's working with them

BodySync — Your 12-Week Metabolic Program

BodySync is VGM Health's signature weight loss program — combining medical treatment with weekly educational content, periodic telehealth visits, and personalized coaching on nutrition, movement, sleep, and hydration. This isn't just a prescription. It's a complete program with one provider guiding you every step of the way. Within your BodySync program, medication treatment options may include:

GLP-1 & GLP-1/GIP Weight Loss
The most clinically significant advance in metabolic medicine in decades. GLP-1 medications work across multiple body systems — appetite, insulin, inflammation, fat storage — not just your waistline. I offer a microdose option for those who want to start low and slow, minimize side effects, or simply need the edge taken off appetite while building sustainable habits. Not everyone needs the same dose. Not everyone should start at the same place.

Brand-Name Options
Prefer a brand-name medication? I can manage Wegovy through NovoCare Pharmacy and Zepbound through LillyDirect. You pay the manufacturer directly — I manage your care.

Phentermine & Appetite Medications
A proven, affordable option for appetite control. I also offer a range of compounded appetite and weight loss medications — combinations tailored to your specific health history and goals. Options are discussed at your consult.

Lipotropic & Vitamin Injections
Injection blends designed to support metabolism, energy, and liver function — a popular add-on to a comprehensive weight loss program. Details and pricing at consult.

Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Growing evidence for reducing inflammation, supporting immune function, and improving overall metabolic health. Used selectively as part of individualized programs.

NAD+ Therapy
Essential for cellular energy production and metabolic function. Available as injection, nasal spray, or troche.

Transparent Pricing. No Surprises.

Many online GLP-1 programs lock you into 12-month commitments, charge separately for every follow-up visit, or bury fees in the fine print. At VGM Health, programs run in 3-month cycles — enough time to see real results — but you can cancel anytime. No long-term contracts, no penalty for leaving, no surprise charges for follow-up visits or messages. One monthly fee. One provider. Ongoing care included. Always.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes medical weight loss different from traditional dieting?

Traditional dieting focuses on willpower and restriction. Medical weight loss looks at what's actually driving your weight — metabolism, hormones, insulin resistance, inflammation — and treats the underlying physiology. When your body is working against you, lifestyle changes alone rarely move the needle. That's where medical intervention changes everything.

Will I need to take medications?

Not necessarily — but for most patients, medication is the most effective tool we have. Which medication, at what dose, depends entirely on your health history, your labs, and your goals. We figure that out together.

How quickly can I expect to lose weight?

Most patients begin noticing changes within the first few weeks. Meaningful fat loss typically builds over the first three to six months. I focus on sustainable fat loss — not the fastest number on the scale — because losing too quickly often means losing muscle, which works against you long term.

What does a program cost?

BodySync GLP-1 programs start at $200/month — no 12-month commitments, no paying upfront for the entire program, no surprise fees for follow-up visits. A one-time $50 consult fee applies to all new patients. After that, ongoing care with Diane is part of the program. Many online telehealth platforms lock you into annual contracts or charge separately for every visit and message. That's not how I work. Vitamin and metabolic injection supplies start at $100/month. Oral appetite and weight loss medications are also available — some as low as $125/month — pricing is discussed at your consult.

How do labs work and what do they cost?

Lab work is required before starting your program and is available for purchase through VGM Health — completed at a Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp location near you. If you have labs from another provider completed within the past four months, you will be asked to provide them for Diane to review — additional labs may or may not be needed depending on what was tested.

Is this covered by insurance?

Most weight loss medications and programs are not covered by insurance. I'll always be upfront about costs so there are no surprises.

Do I have to come in person?

No — I offer telehealth throughout Illinois. In-person visits are available in Springfield for those who prefer them. Most patients manage their programs entirely via telehealth.

Can I add hormone evaluation, vitamin injections, or supplements to my program?

Absolutely. Many patients combine their weight loss program with vitamin and metabolic injections, targeted supplements, or hormone evaluation and optimization. Everything is built around what makes sense for you individually — and we can add or adjust as your program evolves.

Do you offer support after I reach my goal weight?

Yes — maintenance is part of the program, not an afterthought. We discuss a maintenance plan before you get there so the transition is smooth. Some patients continue on lower medication doses, others shift to lifestyle support only. We figure out what works best for you.

How is this different from online GLP-1 programs like Hims & Hers or Ro?

Those platforms are built around volume — questionnaire intake, no required labs, no live visits, and rotating providers you'll never meet again. At VGM Health you have a real consultation with me before anything is prescribed. I review your labs, know your history, and adjust your program based on how you're actually responding. One provider. Every time. That's not how those platforms work — and it makes a real difference in your outcomes.
