Pleasanton, CA
Medical weight loss is a supervised programme that finds what has been working against your weight, such as hormones, metabolism, nutritional gaps or a medication you take, and treats it with nutrition, nutraceuticals and, where it fits, prescription medication. At Radiance Wellness & Aesthetics in Pleasanton, Zayda Yeoh, NP, a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, leads the programme and sees you herself at every check-in, in the studio or by telehealth anywhere in California. It begins with a free 10-minute discovery call and blood work, so the plan starts from your numbers rather than a calorie target.
Willpower is rarely the problem. Metabolism, lifestyle habits and overall health all shape how the body sheds weight, and some people carry extra obstacles: a hormonal imbalance, a nutritional gap, or a medication that makes losing weight harder. Counting calories does nothing about any of those.
Treating the underlying cause, rather than the calorie count alone, is what tends to make the difference between a loss that lasts and one that comes back. For many women that cause is hormonal, which is why the weight loss and hormone programmes at Radiance Wellness & Aesthetics are run by the same nurse practitioner.
Most online weight loss programmes are built around a prescription and a supplement, with a different clinician each time you log in. Medication can be a powerful tool, and relying on it alone usually skips the reasons the weight arrived. The programme here is built the other way round, whether you come to the studio or see Zayda by telehealth.
Treatments
Some patients benefit from a GLP-1 medication to regulate appetite and improve metabolic function. Others reach their goal with nutraceuticals, nutrition and lifestyle changes and never take a prescription. The consultation decides which route fits, and the plan can combine both.
Injectable medications that act on the hormones behind appetite and blood sugar, so you feel full sooner and hungry less often. Whether one fits you, and which, is decided after the exam and blood work and reviewed at your check-ins.
Nutrition, nutraceuticals and habit changes, with the same assessment and the same check-ins with the same provider.
The appointment
A free 10-minute call with Zayda about your goals, your history and what has and has not worked before. It sets up your lab work.
Blood work, and a physical exam where it is needed, done before your consultation so the plan is written from your metabolic and hormone picture.
Zayda goes through your results with you, in the studio or by telehealth, and assesses your metabolic health, your lifestyle and habits and your nutritional status.
A realistic timeline and the approach that fits your body: medication, nutritional support, lifestyle changes, or a combination. B12 and MIC vitamin injections can be added where they fit.
Progress is reviewed with the same provider every time and the plan is adjusted as your body responds.
Gradual, steady loss is the goal. It is easier to keep, and it lets the skin keep its elasticity, so stretch marks and sagging are less likely than with a crash.
Candidacy
The ideal weight is different for everyone, and most people with a body mass index over 24.9 can benefit from healthy weight loss. Zayda may also recommend the programme if you carry extra weight and have:
Not everyone is a candidate for medication, and that is fine. The nutrition and lifestyle route is a full plan, not a consolation prize, and it uses the same assessment and check-ins.
Cost
The cost depends on which parts of the programme you use: the exam and blood work, nutrition visits, nutraceuticals, and whether a medication is prescribed, at what dose and for how long. A nutrition-and-lifestyle plan and a plan that includes a GLP-1 medication are different costs. Zayda gives you the full cost at the consultation, before anything is prescribed. Payment plans are available.

Questions
Still unsure? Start with a free 10-minute discovery call, and Zayda will answer anything this page does not.
Yes. Medical weight loss is available by telehealth for patients anywhere in California, as well as in the Pleasanton studio. The sequence is the same either way: a free 10-minute discovery call, lab work, then your consultation and plan, and every check-in is with the same provider.
The cost at Radiance Wellness & Aesthetics depends on which parts of the programme you use: the exam and labs, nutrition visits, nutraceuticals, and whether a GLP-1 medication is prescribed and for how long. Zayda gives you the full cost at the consultation. Payment plans are available.
No. Some patients benefit from a GLP-1 medication, and others reach their goal through nutraceuticals, nutrition and lifestyle changes alone. Your lab work is done first, after a free 10-minute discovery call. The consultation then assesses your metabolic health, habits and nutritional status and recommends the route that fits, which can be one or a combination.
Most people with a body mass index over 24.9 can benefit from healthy weight loss. Zayda may also recommend the programme when extra weight comes with a condition such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, joint pain, chronic fatigue or sleep apnea. The right weight for you is decided together, not read off a chart.
Zayda reviews your metabolic health, your lifestyle and habits, your nutritional status and your goals. She may recommend a head-to-toe physical exam and blood work. You leave with a realistic timeline and a recommended approach, whether that is medication, nutritional support or both.
Not by where you are seen: weight loss care is available in the studio and by telehealth across California. The difference is the care. Online programmes often send a prescription and little else. Here the plan is built from labs and an exam, includes nutrition and lifestyle support, and every follow-up is with the same provider, so you pick up where you left off instead of re-explaining your history to someone new.
Gradual weight loss lets the skin keep its elasticity and makes stretch marks and sagging less likely, which is one reason the programme favors steady progress over a crash. If loose skin is already a concern, non-surgical skin tightening is treated at the same studio.
