Weight Loss
Reach Your Goals with Medically Guided Weight Loss
Achieving sustainable weight loss can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. At the office of Michael Varveris, MD in Naples, FL, we offer physician-supervised weight loss programs that are tailored to your body, lifestyle, and long-term health. Whether you're dealing with stubborn weight, hormone imbalances, or metabolic issues, Dr. Varveris creates a safe and effective plan to help you lose weight and keep it off.
What Is Medically Supervised Weight Loss?
Medically supervised weight loss is a personalized program developed and monitored by a physician to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike fad diets or quick fixes, this approach is rooted in medical science and tailored to your unique physiology, health history, and goals. Dr. Varveris evaluates key factors like hormone levels, metabolism, and lifestyle habits to build a sustainable plan that may include:
- Nutritional counseling
- Prescription weight loss medications (such as GLP-1s)
- Lab testing and body composition analysis
- Hormone optimization
- Lifestyle and behavior modification coaching
- Exomind therapy for eating-related behavior modification
This program is ideal for individuals who have struggled with weight loss despite diet and exercise or those with underlying medical conditions that impact metabolism and weight retention.

Elite Iodine
Our Elite Iodine is a high potency iodine supplement, supplying both iodine and iodide. As a result of decreased iodine status due to the typical Western diet, optimal thyroxine is not always produced, thus potentially affecting normal thyroid function.* The use of oral iodine/iodide can aid in circumventing this issue. Although approximately 80% of the dietary intake of iodine is sequestered by the thyroid gland, other tissues concentrate iodine as well. These tissues include the salivary glands, the gastric mucosa, the choroid plexus, the mammary glands and the ovaries. Published information suggests iodine/iodide helps to maintain healthy hydroxyl estrogen ratios as well
Elite Multi-Vitamin
Our Elite Multi-Vitamin is a versatile, balanced multiple vitamin and mineral supplement, that supplies unique forms of important micro-nutrients available exclusively from Biotics Research Corporation.
Elite Probiotic
Probiotic supplements are classically known to contain viable, defined microorganisms in sufficient quantities which work to alter the microbiota and, thus, exert beneficial health effects.* Our Elite Probiotic is a specific blend of 3 prebiotics and 7 probiotics extensively tested to ensure optimal colonization with bacterial strains recognized for their bioactivity. It contains 20 billion viable organisms per capsule, providing optimal probiotic coverage.

Our Elite Fish Oil provides a potent dose of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs), sourced from a strategically-placed facility in the far South Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile, guaranteeing the freshest raw material available, full traceability of the product, and unparalleled purity.
