Weight Loss Therapy Clinic in San Diego, CA
Our weight loss therapy program aims to improve and maintain cardiovascular health through a comprehensive program that includes science-based nutrition and lifestyle practices in conjunction with medical/surgical therapies.
Weight Loss Therapy Explained
Obesity and being overweight are the top medical issues affecting most Americans. Oftentimes, obesity and being overweight are associated with comorbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension (elevated blood pressure), and dyslipidemia (abnormally high cholesterol levels). All of these are the major risk factors for coronary artery disease and cardiovascular disease in general.
Our weight loss therapy program therefore
aims to treat the root cause of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and therefore actively prevent coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arterial fibrillation by treating obesity.
Managing your weight can have an enormous effect on your overall health. When you lose weight, it helps prevent the development of life-threatening conditions associated with obesity.
Weight loss helps prevent life threatening conditions such as:
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Hypertension
- Sleep apnea and other respiratory issues
- Aging
- Stroke
- Osteoarthiritis
- Liver and gallbladder disease

Weight Loss Therapy FAQ
Yes, working with a therapist has been shown to be effective in helping people to lose weight. Behavioral therapy can help you lose weight, and more importantly, keep it off. It can also lead you to change both your eating and exercise habits, which of course often leads to weight loss. If you are obese, your healthcare provider may suggest behavioral therapy.
Weight loss therapy is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on making lifestyle changes to promote weight loss. While diet and exercise impact the physical element of losing weight, therapy tackles the mental element, which is just as important.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological therapy used to treat a wide range of problems, from anxiety to weight loss. CBT should not be used by itself to lose weight, but rather it is used to support lifestyle changes that may lead to weight loss.
While the best approach for weight loss is typically identified as reducing the number of calories you eat while increasing the number of calories you burn through physical activity, the mental element to losing weight is often the bigger obstacle. Many people struggle to make the lifestyle changes needed to lose weight, while others are able to lose weight, but then gain it back as they hadn’t made permanent lifestyle changes.
Intensive behavioral therapy may help you to lose weight and then keep it off long-term. It can help you to change your eating and exercise habits, which will lead to weight loss. If you are obese, your healthcare provider may suggest this therapy.
Weight-management therapists and counselors are trained to understand how people feel, think, act, and relate. They can help patients to develop new, healthy habits, and to deal with things like cravings or overeating.
Psychotherapy for weight loss helps patients increase motivation, identify barriers to change, set realistic expectations about weight loss, learn triggers to unhealthy eating, improve stimulus control, regulate mindfulness skills, challenge distorted beliefs about food, weight, and oneself that lead to eating, and more.

What our clients
say about us
Dr Kafri and his staff are very caring. They are also a full service office that performs almost all the tests that are necessary. I've been having a very particular problem that Dr Kafri is determined to solve. I've been coming here since 2022.
The staff is amazing. They took great care of me and made sure I was comfortable through all my procedures. Felt like the staff really cares about making sure I had the best possible experience. Thank you
Dr. Kafri and his staff are by far the best medical staff I have experienced. The front desk is always so pleasant. I would rate way more than 5 stars if I was able to. Thank you Kafri Heart and Vascular Clinic.
I had a good experience. Everyone was professional and kind. They gave me hope that I can go on hikes and walk my dog again.
I had a great experience with staff and doctor I did not have to wait a long time and the staff was very professional in doing there jobs looking forward to my next visit!
Very professional office setting and staff. As a new patient I was greeted warmly, staff proficiently checked my vitals, EKG, reviewed meds which prepared Nurse Practicioner Kim (who was great -- 5 stars) to review my prious ultrasound, and performed the cardio exam. Kim was effecient, actively listened, was a clear communicator, and addressed my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Kafri Heart Vascular Clinic.
All of the Staff at the office including Dr. Kafri are Very professional and during all of my procedures they have done everything they can to make them comfortable...Definetly incredible!..So Happy I was placed in their care for my Veins!😊...Thank you all!
All the staff were very helpful, patient, and friendly. They were also very accommodating with honoring my request to wait 5 minutes before taking my blood pressure so I could relax a bit to ensure a more accurate blood pressure reading. I REALLY appreciate that! 😊💜
I had a ball with the person who interviewed me, he has a great personality. Dr. Yoa was super and he has a great listening skill. I felt very good about his attention and responses. I left knowing, all about my future care and what's happening now. Way to go all. From the first person, to the last person I spoke with, the staff was the friendly, organized, and the doctor super, so my visit was amazing! Thank you!
