This special topic will be facilitated by our internist, Dr. Jacek Cieslak, who has a specialty in nephrology. In the session we will explore the relationship between obesity, diabetes, hypertension and kidney disease. Key strategies and tips on how to protect your kidneys will be discussed. Bring your questions for this discussion!

We will introduce you to the MWM Structured Meal Plan that we offer for those patients who wish to try it. Research has shown that some modest weight loss at the beginning of a weight management program can be motivational and help build confidence. This diet is meant to be followed for about 3 to 6 months and in the meantime, patients are coming to the group medical visits and are working on the long-term, dietary changes that they can sustain and enjoy.
