mission metabolic health

Dr Cassleman will take time with you to best understand your goals around weight loss and health optimization. We discuss those goals in the context of chronic disease and metabolic labs but also aesthetics. Once those goals are in place we develop a plan of action using medicine, nutrition and training to reach them.

​

We nurture your progress throughout your time with us through frequent meetings and check ins, monitoring progress physically and metabolically with lab trending, and adjusting course whenever necessary. Clients have unparalleled access to the physician and trainer throughout the process. 

​

We are here to guide you throughout... We don’t write a prescription, say good luck and disappear. With GLP1s (semaglutide, tirzepetide, liraglutide) and other weight loss medications it's critical to titrate the medication appropriately, manage side effects, and make sure the outcomes are in line with long term health goals, that’s an area of focus for Mission metabolic. 

​

Our medical recommendations, nutritional plans and training regimens are specific to you.

We work with all medical conditions, nutritional knowledge levels and experiences, cultural preferences, religious dietary restrictions, physical ability levels, orthopedic restrictions and design a plan that works for you. 

​

We can work with your primary care doctor and specialists to integrate health goals and execution of those goals. 

​

We monitor important health metrics including cholesterol markers, diabetes/insulin resistance assays, uric acid, hepatic labs and other organ function, cardio/respiritory capacity, body composition, continuous glucose monitoring in addition to weight. 

​

We work with patients to optimize sleep and test for obstructive sleep apnea when appropriate. 

​

We work with patients' insurance companies to get coverage for weight loss medications.

If insurance companies are unwilling to cover weight loss medications then we provide safe, effective and affordable alternatives.

​Do I still need a Primary Care Physician if I sign up with MMH?

When it comes to the pursuit of metabolic optimization, longevity and healthspan it's important to have a reliable guide. Traditionally in the realm of health,  many look to their Primary Care Physician (PCP).  While your PCP does his or her best to keep up with the demands of acute disease, coordinating care, fulfilling quality measures while dealing with barriers set by medical insurance, it leaves little time for them to plan with you short and long term on other vital issues.It's a stretch to expect expert weight loss direction, close trending of advanced metrics, personalized dietary, exercise and health optimization and address all the other demands in a fifteen minute appointment one to two times per year. This is where we deliver the value of augmenting traditional healthcare with the specialized services we offer at Mission Metabolic Health. Let's delve into how this modern approach complements but does not replace your PCP.
While your PCP provides essential care, Mission Metabolic Health offers an advanced layer of support focused on optimizing your metabolic performance through advanced metric measurement and trending, diet and exercise direction and cutting edge knowledge of available interventions. Think of it as equipping yourself with the latest technology and insights before embarking on a new health adventure.

Weight Loss: A Targeted Approach
Mission Metabolic Health employs cutting-edge techniques with a multidisciplinary approach to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. This isn't just about looking good; it's about reducing the risk of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. By using personalized plans based on metabolic assessments, we provide strategies that are both effective and sustainable.

Executive Physicals: A Comprehensive View
Those that are seeking to optimize their health need more than a standard check-up. Mission Metabolic Health's executive physicals offer an in-depth analysis of your health status. These assessments often include advanced testing for cardiovascular health, metabolic function, cancer screenings, genetic testing and more. It's like having a detailed map that highlights potential hazards before they become obstacles. 

Longevity: Planning for the Long Haul
Our longevity work isn't just about living longer; it's about enhancing your health duration and quality of life often referred to as healthspan. The services provided focus on early detection and prevention of age-related diseases through lifestyle modifications and personalized medical advice. This proactive approach is akin to planning an expedition with foresight—ensuring you're prepared for challenges long before they arise.

Complementary Roles
Integrating Mission Metabolic Health into your healthcare team enhances but does not replace the foundational role of your PCP. While Mission Metabolic Health offers specialized preventive measures, your PCP continues to provide routine screenings, care for acute illness and offerings like vaccinations. We will communicate and work with your PCP. The standard of care is not enough, doing everything to stay ahead of disease is our new model of care. Live leaner, longer and better with Mission Metabolic Health.
