Weight Management | Brigham Wellesley OB/GYN Associates
At Brigham Wellesley OB/GYN Associates, we know that weight and wellness are deeply personal, and rarely as simple as just eating less and moving more. Hormones, life stage, stress, pregnancy, and your relationship with food all play a role in how your body feels and functions. That’s why, rather than offering one-size-fits-all weight loss advice or prescribing a medication, we connect our patients with specialized support built specifically for women’s health.
Sustainable wellness isn’t about a number on a scale. It’s about understanding your body, nourishing it well, and feeling good in your day-to-day life. To schedule a visit to talk through your health and wellness goals in Wellesley, call (781) 235-4000 or request an appointment online.
How Can a Women’s Health Dietitian Help?
Working with a registered dietitian who understands women’s health can make a meaningful difference in how you feel every day. Support may include help to:
- Optimize your wellness routine
- Nourish a strong and healthy pregnancy
- Manage hormonal conditions, including PCOS
- Take the stress out of mealtime
- Navigate the perimenopause and menopause transition
- Heal your relationship with food and body
Whether your goals are centered on weight, energy, digestion, fertility, or simply feeling more at ease around food, this kind of specialized guidance can help you get there in a way that respects your whole self, not just a number.
Our Approach to Weight Management
We believe the best weight management support doesn’t come from a quick fix, and it doesn’t come from your OB/GYN alone. It comes from ongoing, personalized guidance from someone trained specifically in the nutritional needs of women. That’s why we refer our patients to a trusted partner offering virtual nutrition counseling with registered dietitians who specialize in women’s health.
This isn’t a generic diet plan. It’s individualized support that takes into account where you are in life, whether you’re building healthy habits in your 20s, navigating a pregnancy, managing a hormonal condition, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Best of all, this care is typically covered by insurance, meaning most patients pay nothing out of pocket to get the support they need.
Getting Started Is Simple
Most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Mass General Brigham Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare, typically cover this virtual nutrition support at no cost to you. Because visits are conducted virtually, you can meet with your dietitian from wherever it is most convenient for you.
If weight management, nutrition, or your relationship with food is something you’d like to talk through, mention it at your next visit and we’ll provide a referral to get you connected. It only takes a few clicks to get started.

Weight Management FAQs
Does Brigham Wellesley OB/GYN offer weight management programs directly?
We don’t run an in-house weight management program. Instead, we refer patients to a trusted virtual nutrition service staffed by registered dietitians who specialize in women’s health, so you get expert, personalized support built around your needs.
Will my insurance cover nutrition counseling?
Most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Mass General Brigham Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare, typically cover virtual dietitian visits at no cost. Coverage can vary, so it’s worth confirming your specific benefits.
Can a dietitian help with hormonal conditions like PCOS, not just weight?
Yes. A women’s health-focused dietitian can help manage hormonal conditions such as PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), support you through pregnancy or perimenopause, and help you build a healthier relationship with food, in addition to supporting weight-related goals.
Do I need to come in for an appointment before I can get a nutrition referral?
Yes, we ask that you schedule a visit with your provider so we can understand your health history and goals before making a referral, ensuring you’re connected with the right kind of support.
Are the nutrition visits in person or virtual?
The nutrition counseling we refer patients to is entirely virtual, so you can meet with your dietitian from home, work, or wherever fits your schedule best.
