Eduardo Grunvald, MD, clinical professor and director of the weight management program at UC San Diego Health System, is available to speak about safe evidenced-based approaches to weight loss. Approaches range from new pharmaceutical diet drugs to effective weight loss programs to surgery.

A medical weight loss program offered by UC San Diego Health System has just been named the No. 2 Best Weight-Loss Diet in U.S. News & World Reports’ Best Diets of 2015. The program focuses on integrating diet, physical activity and healthy lifestyle skills through weekly coaching. This is the first time the diet program has been included in the U.S. News & World Report rankings list.

Dr. Grunvald can offer in-depth advice to those who need to lose weight, especially to patients who have cardiovascular disease or diabetes or who have a need to lose weight prior to surgery. He can also share how weight loss may lead to a decrease in the need for medications for some individuals who have developed obesity-related health issues.
