Weiss Surkhabi,

MD
Co-Founder/CMO

Dr. Weiss Surkhabi is a distinguished physician, dual board-certified in both obesity medicine and family medicine. His dedication to obesity medicine began with a deep-seated passion for addressing the disparities and inequities faced by patients with obesity. Dr. Surkhabi has witnessed firsthand the unequal care provided to these patients and has committed his career to bridging this gap and advocating for equitable healthcare.

Sina Arham

Co-Founder/CEO

Sina is an enthusiastic clinician and advocate who has dedicated his career to serving marginalized patient populations. He earned his doctorate of dental surgery from the esteemed University of the Pacific Arthur A Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, practicing dentistry for ten years before becoming a stay-at-home caretaker due to a family member's chronic illness. Since childhood, Sina has harbored a profound empathy for patients grappling with poorly managed metabolic health conditions. Witnessing his grandmother's struggle with obesity, he was dismayed by the simplistic characterization of her as a lazy overeater, leading him to develop a fervent commitment to advocacy. Having been childhood friends with Dr. Weiss, Sina and Dr. Weiss joined forces to merge Dr. Weiss's expertise and passion as an obesity physician with Sina's dedication to advocacy, connectivity, and operational efficiency.
