How to Navigate North Carolina’s Metabolic Health Landscape

North Carolina offers two distinct pathways to metabolic health care: large health systems with ABOM-certified specialists (often covered by insurance), and independent functional medicine practices (typically direct-pay but offering more personalized care).

For best results, focus on practitioners with these credentials:

• ABOM (Obesity Medicine): Gold standard certification for medical weight management and metabolic health.
• IFMCP (Functional Medicine): Root-cause approach using nutrition as primary therapy.
• Integrative/Lifestyle Medicine: Combines conventional and evidence-based complementary approaches.

Use the filters below to find practitioners aligned with your needs and schedule a consultation to discuss your specific dietary approach.
