Cryolipolysis: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

Name: Rita Thakur, MD

Statement: My name is Rita Thakur and I am a physician who has been trained by the Obesity Medicine Association and am a daily practitioner of mindfulness meditation.

I received my M.D. at St. Louis University and completed my residency at UCSF.

For the last 21 years, I have helped thousands of patients in the San Francisco Bay Area lose weight safely and effectively. My extensive expertise from pediatrics to internal medicine has put me in a unique position to help treat people of all ages. I am passionate about empowering people to not only achieve their healthy weight in order to reduce health risks and regain self-confidence, but most importantly to cultivate a healthy lifestyle and mindset.

From my personal experience of losing 40-50 pounds two separate times in my life, I know that it is not easy to lose weight. I underwent an oophorectomy (ovary removal surgery) in my 40s leading to major hormonal issues and subsequent weight gain. Pellet hormone replacement therapy, which I offer to my clients, helped me greatly.

Finally, I help you overcome the obstacles to your success and change your relationship with food for the better through nutrition education and adoption of mindfulness. Mindfulness training helps you take a more active role in your life and can help you change your diet and habits to better manage daily stress, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression and insomnia.

By combining the best of ancient and modern science, I endeavor to help my clients revive their health inside and out.
