The Problem
Why many weight loss approaches fall short
Many weight loss programs focus on rapid results without adequate medical oversight or long-term planning. This can lead to frustration, rebound weight gain, or unintended health risks. Effective weight management requires medical supervision, careful monitoring, and an understanding of how metabolism, hormones, appetite regulation, and behavior interact over time. Our approach prioritizes patient safety, transparency, and long-term health—not quick fixes.

The Holistic Solution
A comprehensive, systems-
based view of weight health
There is no single solution to weight management. Factors such as insulin resistance, metabolic adaptation, hormonal balance, gut health, stress physiology, sleep, and emotional patterns all play a role.
Medical weight management at Dr. Lifestyle focuses on:
- Understanding contributing factors
- Identifying metabolic or hormonal barriers
- Supporting behavior change without extremes
- Using medication appropriately when indicated
This allows care to be precise, measured, and sustainable.

Dr Micah Yu is an excellent doctor! He has helped me feel so much better and has given me a much better quality of life and for that I am very grateful! If you are looking for a kind, caring, excellent doctor that specializes in Rhuematology then Dr. Yu is your man! I have no doubt that he will be a leading doctor in the advancement of finding a cure for many of the debilitating autoimmune diseases that people suffer from today.

Dr. Mondala exceeded my expectations of functional medicine. She is detailed in her questions seeking to understand not only your physical health but also your spiritual health. She truly seeks to understand and care for the whole person. I am not a vegan, but she supports my nutrition and encourages me to try to incorporate new foods and recipes. She’s caring and thorough. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Micah Yu is the absolute best. He has been very informative about my issues with Auto Immune Dieases. Prior to him becoming my doctor I had no idea what really was going on with my body. Because of him I’ve stopped smoking and am eating somewhat healthier. He’s compassionate and cares about his patients. He is leaving the facility where I have been treated however wherever he goes he’ll definitely be an asset to all he encounters. Love you Dr. Yu.

OMG! Best doctor ever- AMAZING! I take my health extremely seriously (life is too precious and short not too). A REAL doctor concerned with your life, not just the symptom. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and present. It is as if you have an expert coach, confidante and physician accompanying you on the ups and downs of the life journey with you. I could never return to the regular medical model physician after experiencing Dr. Mondala. Simply THE best!

Dr. Yu is absolutely amazing. I went through two rheumatologists and a fancy primary care clinic before finding Dr. Yu. I have rheumatoid arthritis and Dr. Yu’s protocols are a mix of traditional medicine and integrative health, which is exactly what I was looking for. I was struggling to find someone who cared about the holistic-health approach, and Dr. Yu ended up being the perfect fit! You can tell he cares about his patients and is incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend

Dr. Mondala is not only a great physician but also a caring and compassionate one. She gives each and every one of her patients her full attention. Her methods of treating patients really emphasizes the core value of the Dr. Lifestyle clinic, which is that the patients needs are always met!

Dr. Yu is a great doctor who gave me a second opinion for my ankylosing spondylitis. He’s given me more pathways to consider on top the standard treatment, including a lot of information on diet, exercise, supplements, and general life with ankylosing spondylitis.

Making the switch to Dr. Mondala as my primary care physician has filled my life with positivity and support. She takes her time with me and is always available when I need to see her. She has such a great wholistic approach to healing and wellbeing and I am so grateful to have her in my life.

Dr. Mondala has been the best primary care physician I have been to. She goes above and beyond for caring for me and my family whether its through traditional means or her lifestyle care. She always answers all my questions and concerns no matter the day or time. Anyone who chooses to have her as her PCP is doing themself a favor.

Dr. Micah Yu is a very caring doctor. Have been to several other RA Doctors and He has shown the most compassion and dedication to my individual needs.
Would recommend Him to those who are wanting individual care.
