Dr. Lisa Clark, M.D., has added to her growing medical wellness practice an InShape MD Medical Weight-Loss and Anti-Aging Center, in the Fountain Plaza on Highway 98, in Miramar Beach. Clark, author of Lighten Up America, says the expansion was prompted by the success of a center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where participants realized a combined loss of over 20,000 pounds within two years.

Treatment is doctor-guided and offers natural, safe and proven weight loss. The two-phase system includes a stabilization phase that recreates a new set point, which is why they guarantee the weight will stay off or they will allow the patient to repeat the program at no charge.

Clark includes all doctor visits, lab work, medication, nutritional consultation, a journal, a manual, a personal weight-loss coach and four weeks with a personal trainer. She knows that by fast-forwarding the weight loss, clients are more apt to stick with it long enough to make lifestyle changes. "You don't have to be successful to start, but you do have to start to be successful,” she says.
