We are Total HealthcareMD

We understand how hard it can be to lose weight. There are so many options out there, and it can get overwhelming quickly. That’s why we’re here - to help you learn what’s keeping you stuck, to guide you through the program step-by-step, and to help you become the healthiest version of yourself. Losing weight doesn’t have to be complicated, and you don’t have to do it alone!

Our Philosophy

Here at THMD, your weight loss phase is all about getting your body into what's called "ketosis." Nutritional Ketosis is your fat burning mode.

When you reduce your carbohydrate intake, your body converts into a metabolic state in which it begins to burn your stored fat for energy. This process produces ketones. Your THMD team will help you reach ketosis to burn your stored fat.

Our Story

Our company was founded by a husband and wife passionate about wellness and helping others. Starting in the field of personal training, they noticed that their clients struggling with weight loss needed more guidance than just personal training.

And thus, THMD was born! At our weight loss center in Cary, we have designed a unique, state of the art medical weight loss program that targets obesity and its related conditions.

We provide patients with individualized treatments, counseling, and follow-ups to help you lose weight and get healthy.
