What this pillar covers
Weight that will not move usually has a metabolic reason behind it, and willpower is not a treatment for a metabolic problem. This line starts with lab work, runs under medical oversight, and separates two different jobs: changing what the body does with energy, and reducing fat in one stubborn area. Dr. Justin Bergin, DC leads the practice and the plan is written for one person at a time.
Dr. Justin Bergin, DC performs every examination personally, 22 years into practice, at Lakeland and at Lady Lake for the Villages market.
Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss here is medically supervised and built on your own lab results rather than a packaged plan. GLP-1 medication is part of the toolkit where it is appropriate, alongside nutrition, and it is reviewed rather than repeat-issued. No price is published, because the plan is built per person and the front desk walks you through the factors and what is included. Read about a medically supervised weight program built on your labs.
Body Contouring
Body contouring is a different job from weight loss. It treats a localized area that has not responded to a lower weight, using Ultraslim, a non-surgical device applied to the skin over that area. There is no anaesthetic, no incision and no recovery period. It suits people already close to their target rather than people at the start. See what non-surgical fat reduction with Ultraslim involves.
How this line is paid for
Metabolic health and medical weight loss are cash pay. No price is published, because the plan is built per person from your lab work and what it says you need, and the front desk walks you through the factors and the inclusions before you commit.
Where this sits
This pillar is one of six at ChiroMed. Start at the ChiroMed practice overview to see how they fit together.
Independent background: Cleveland Clinic notes that GLP-1 medication works alongside dietary and lifestyle change rather than instead of it.
“I have had sich a great experience seeing Dr. Bergin. When other offices have told me I just had muscle damage or the only thing they could do for me was give shots, he said he had others ways to manage my pain and numbness, along with improving mobility. And he was right! I feel so much better!”
“I have had pain in my right upper back quadrant by my shoulder blade for at least a year now and the doctors have been unsuccessful in making the pain go away. I came to Dr. Bergin looking for some help. Within 3 to 4 weeks. My pain in that area is completely gone.”
“Dr. Bergin is phenomenal. Chronic lower back issues led a different doctor to mention back surgery to me. That was not an option I wanted to entertain. After a consult with Dr. B, he was confident that he could help resolve my back issues. I’ve been seeing him weekly to resolve the issue, and I am so pleased with the results so far! More mobility, less pain, and a great customer experience.”
“I bless the day that Dr. Bergin started working on me. I have had long standing pain for so long. After just a few visits my pain left and I feel so good. He is very patient oriented and caring. I regard him highly.”
“Dr. Bergin was instrumental in relieving my back pain which I had for many years. The techniques he used on relieving my back pain were impressive. I been going to chiropractors for years and Dr. Bergin is the best.”

How much does a weight loss clinic cost?
Published figures are close to meaningless, because they hide what is bundled: consultations, lab work, medication, follow-up, or none of those. We do not publish a number for the same reason we do not sell a package. Your plan is priced from your lab work and what it says you need, and the front desk walks you through the cost factors and what is included before you commit to anything.
the clinic teamIs a weight loss clinic worth it?
It is worth it if the clinic is testing rather than guessing. A program that never looks at your thyroid, your fasting insulin or your inflammatory markers is selling a diet with a waiting room attached. What you should expect for the money is a set of labs, a reading of them, medical oversight of anything prescribed, and a plan that changes when the numbers change.
the clinic teamWhat is the best doctor to see for weight loss?
Look for three things rather than a specialty label: someone who orders and interprets real lab work, someone who supervises medication properly rather than issuing repeats, and someone who will tell you when weight is not your primary problem. Care here is medically supervised and led by a Doctor of Chiropractic, with nutrition and functional testing in the same building.
the clinic teamWhat is the most successful weight loss treatment?
The honest answer is that it varies by person, and the research points at combinations rather than single interventions. Medication changes appetite and glucose handling. Nutrition changes what arrives. Movement changes what the muscle does with it. Sleep and stress change the hormones underneath all three. A plan that works on one of those and ignores the other three is the one most likely to rebound.
the clinic teamDo you prescribe GLP-1 medication?
Yes, where it is appropriate, and it is medically supervised. It is not automatic, it is not for everyone, and it is reviewed rather than issued on repeat. Your lab work, your history and your other medication all decide whether it belongs in your plan. Anyone offering it without labs and without oversight is cutting a corner that matters.
the clinic teamWill insurance cover medical weight loss?
This line is cash pay. Coverage for weight management varies enormously by plan and by service, and for most of our patients it does not apply, so we say so rather than raising an expectation. Payment plans are available for self-pay care. Ask the front desk which plan fits your course of care.
