What is Dr Fit For Life?
Dr Fit For Life is a nutrition practice, and weight loss is one of its six listed services. It has a Columbus location and a Youngstown location. Its main work is diet and nutrition planning, supported by testing. The services it lists are Weight Loss & Nutrition, Food Intolerance Testing, DNA Based Diet, Diabetes & Pre-Diabetes, Heart Disease and Gastrointestinal Disorders.
Dr. Shayesteh is the only practitioner named, and no credential is printed beside the name. New patients can call (614) 659-7770 or book a virtual appointment online. Google lists the practice with a rating of 5 from 1 review, in the category weight loss service. It also shares TV segments in which Dr. Shayesteh talks about nutrition and weight loss.
How does the program work?
The DNA Based Diet is the program described most fully. In its own words: "Dr. Shayesteh will design a nutrition, weight loss & exercise program based on your unique genetic profile."
Internal Fitness Testing measures 11 gut-specific metabolites. The practice describes using those results to design a personalized nutrition, weight loss and wellness program. Food Intolerance Testing is aimed at people who notice certain foods linked to bloating, fatigue or mood changes. It does not say whether weight loss involves prescription medication, so you will need to ask.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for any program, test or visit. The first consultation is listed as free, and it is virtual. It does not say whether it bills insurance, whether any testing is covered, or what membership or cancellation terms apply. Before you book, ask for the full cost of the program you have in mind, including the tests and follow-up visits.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether Dr. Shayesteh prescribes anything, and whether the weight loss program involves prescription medication. If it does, ask which drug it is and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the food intolerance, DNA and gut tests cost, and whether the results review is included in the program fee. Since Dr. Shayesteh is the only practitioner named, ask who runs the Heart Disease and Diabetes & Pre-Diabetes services. Ask how many follow-up visits a program includes and what each one costs. Ask whether it bills insurance, and how cancellation works.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want diet and nutrition planning, with optional food or DNA testing, and you are comfortable confirming on the first call whether any prescription medication is part of the plan. If you were hoping for a prescribed weight loss medication, get that answer before you book.
