At KALE Functional Medicine in Houston, we understand that weight management goes far beyond calorie counting or exercise regimens. Our comprehensive, personalized approach addresses the complex underlying factors that contribute to weight challenges, allowing you to achieve sustainable results while improving your overall health.
Weight management issues rarely stem from a simple imbalance of calories in versus calories out. Functional medicine recognizes that numerous physiological, environmental, and lifestyle factors can significantly impact your body’s ability to maintain a healthy weight.
We help you not only achieve your weight goals but maintain them long-term while enhancing your overall wellness.
Various hormones play crucial roles in regulating metabolism, appetite, fat storage, and energy utilization. Imbalances in these key hormones can make weight loss extremely challenging, regardless of diet and exercise efforts:
Your digestive system plays a surprisingly significant role in weight regulation through several mechanisms:
Chronic, low-grade inflammation and impaired detoxification capacity can significantly impact your body’s ability to maintain a healthy weight:
Even with a seemingly healthy diet, specific nutrient deficiencies can impair metabolism and energy production:
Daily habits and environmental influences have profound effects on weight management:
Our functional medicine approach to weight management begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify your unique obstacles to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. We then develop a personalized protocol that addresses these root causes through natural, sustainable interventions.
With our functional medicine practitioners and advanced testing including body composition and analysis, we can analyze the root causes of weight management issues.
Sustainable weight management requires ongoing support and adjustments as your body changes with health coaching sessions, education and resources and community support.
Rather than simply restricting calories or increasing exercise, we identify and address the underlying physiological imbalances that are unique to your body and situation.
We recognize that weight management is highly individual, which is why we develop fully customized protocols based on your specific test results, health history, and goals.
By addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, our approach leads to lasting changes in body composition and metabolic health, not just temporary weight loss.
Our weight management programs improve not just your weight but your overall health, often resolving other symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, mood issues, and digestive complaints.
Optimizing metabolic health reduces your risk for numerous chronic diseases, supporting your long-term wellness goals.

Wonderful experience with Nurse Bassett. No other GP has recommended additional labs or further tests for me and it has been years of anxiety and confusion. Grateful for an amazing staff that is willing to listen and try to get to the bottom of what the health issue is.
