The Struggle is Real
If you’ve been struggling with your weight, you’re in good company. In the US alone, 71.6% of adults are overweight, and of these, 38.9% have obesity.* These numbers are staggering, almost incomprehensible.
Many of those who are struggling with their weight are trying to do something about it: in any given year, almost half of American adults make at least one weight loss attempt, spending upwards of $66 billion on diet plans, diet foods, weight loss supplements and prescriptions, nutrition counseling, gym memberships, weight loss clinics, and surgery.
Yet, despite all of this hard work and financial investment, the majority of people who lose weight will gain it back and they are left frustrated and demoralized.

Diets Don’t Work
It seems obvious that for all of our good intents, we are simply taking the wrong approach. Diets simply do not work for most people. The weight loss industry and our society at large has not given us the tools we need to truly transform.
You see, weight loss is an outer transformation, a transformation of the physical body. But without a corresponding inner transformation, long-term weight loss is difficult at best.
Welcome to Journey Beyond Weight Loss
I’m Angela Zechmann, MD. I’m a specialist in medical weight loss. I’ve been practicing Obesity Medicine for over a decade, and have worked with thousands of patients who have struggled just like you.
I know that the traditional advice to count calories, eat less and exercise more may work for a short period of time, but eventually leaves people feeling deprived and frustrated. Dieting takes a huge toll on a person’s physical and emotional health. This is no way to live!
A More
Comprehensive Approach
I teach people that weight gain is not a character flaw that can be overcome with willpower; it’s a disease. I help them understand that their cravings are based in biology. I help them recognize that their struggles with weight are the result of a metabolic disease that requires compassionate treatment, not another diet.
A Complete Transformation
Over the years I’ve had a nagging feeling that I could do even more to help. As I worked closely with my patients, getting to know them as individuals, I realized that people need an even more comprehensive approach. They need support far beyond the relatively short phase of weight loss. I realized that in order for weight loss to stick, people need to experience a complete transformation, not just in the shape of their bodies, but in their habits, their ways of relating to other people, their understanding of their emotions, and their sense of self. So I created Journey Beyond Weight Loss, a comprehensive online weight maintenance program and membership site, designed to give you everything you need to lose weight and keep it off for good.
There are 4 components to the Journey Beyond Weight Loss program.
