What is Functional Weight Loss?

We don't just ask "How Do We Help You Lose Weight?"
We ask "Why has losing weight been so difficult?"

Holistic View

Functional Medicine is a personalized approach that looks beyond symptoms to understand how your body is functioning as a whole.

Root Causes

Identify the underlying factors that may be affecting your metabolism, energy, hormones, digestion, and overall health.

Long-term change > Short-term impact

Because when you understand why your body isn't functioning the way it should, you can create a plan that leads to lasting change—not temporary results.

Dr. Maisha, MD, CCHP

Hi, I'm Dr. Maisha. After experiencing significant weight gain following childbirth and the Depo-Provera shot, I learned firsthand that weight loss is never one-solution-fits-all.

Before becoming a board-certified family physician, I studied massage therapy, herbal medicine, and holistic healing.

Throughout my career, I've continued my training in Functional Medicine, Chinese Medicine, and Unani Tibb, because I believe exceptional care begins with understanding the whole person.

Today, I thoughtfully combine the best of modern and traditional medicine to uncover the root causes of your symptoms and create a personalized path back to lasting health, vitality, and confidence.

Our Philosophy

Too many women are told their symptoms are "normal" or "part of getting older". But your body is communicating something important.

We listen deeply and look beyond isolated symptoms. This helps us uncover the patterns which are keeping you from feeling your best.

Our goal isn't only to help you lose weight.  It's to help you understand your body, and to restore vitality and confidence for years to come.

Let's Take the First Step Together

Schedule your No-Charge Consultation to discuss your goals, ask questions, and discover whether the YGD FLOURISH System™ is right for you.

How is this different from other weight loss programs?

Most programs focus on helping you lose weight.

We focus on understanding why your body has been holding onto it. The Radiant Flourish System™ combines Functional Medicine, personalized care, advanced laboratory insights, nutrition, lifestyle improvement, and medication support when appropriate to help you achieve lasting results.

Do I have to take weight loss medication?

No.

Medication is one of many tools available to help you succeed. Some patients benefit from GLP-1 therapy, while others achieve excellent results through nutrition, lifestyle improvement, and movement alone. Your physician will help you determine the approach that's right for you.

What happens during my No-Charge Consultation?

You'll meet with Dr. Maisha Pesante to discuss your health concerns, goals, and questions.

If the Radiant Flourish System™ is a good fit, we'll explain how the program works, review pricing, and outline your next steps.

Do you accept insurance?

The Radiant Flourish System™ is a personalized, physician-led program that is not billed through insurance. We'll review all pricing and payment options during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Is this program virtual?

It's up to you!

We provide virtual care in more than 15 states, with in-person appointments also available at our clinic in Cary, North Carolina.

What if I've tried everything before?

Many of our patients come to us after years of frustration.

Rather than asking you to try another diet, we take time to understand your health, identify what's contributing to your symptoms, and build a personalized plan that fits your body and your lifestyle.
