Dr. Tro truly understands what it is like to struggle with obesity and food addiction. Like many of us, his struggles began early in life when he faced childhood obesity and grew up in an obese family. He tried to lose weight numerous times, following the advice of what most experts said was the proper diet. Still, he found he could never sustain it and always felt chronically hungry.

"As an adult at 350 lbs, I was a doctor who did not know how to heal myself. In a desperate attempt to figure it out, I studied for countless hours, combing through medical literature, research papers, and hundreds of books to find an answer to the ever-important question: why am I fat? And what I found was in such stark contrast to what my medical colleagues recommended and what we have all been told." - Dr. Tro

By ignoring the U.S. Dietary Guidelines and conventional medical advice, Dr. Tro Kalayjian lost 150 lbs and reclaimed his health for himself and his family. Determined to be the doctor he wishes he had, Dr. Tro built a medical practice that focuses on combating type 2 diabetes and obesity with an evidence-based approach. His ultimate objective is to reduce medication reliance and improve disease management by implementing lifestyle modifications and emphasizing the importance of diet and exercise. Dr. Tro’s patients have lost weight and experienced significant reductions in cardiac risk, a1C levels, blood pressure, and medication costs per year. Utilizing smart devices, Dr. Tro stays connected to his patients' progress through remote tracking.

Dr. Tro is best able to serve his patients because he understands what it is like. He has been through it, and he helps his patients every step of the way. He succeeds when they succeed!

"I have personally dealt with the deep emotions and feelings involved with being overweight for most of my life. This connection is why my patients are successful in their wellness journeys because I am not preaching from some Ivory Tower. I lived through what my patients are living through and have experienced what they are experiencing." - Dr. Tro
