Our Approach

Beyond Fad Diets — Whole-Person Care

At Alera Care, we move beyond fad diets. Our program is led by ISSA Certified Weight Management Specialists and qualified physicians who prioritize your safety and overall health. We don’t just treat the number on the scale; we treat the whole person.

  • Nutritional guidance tailored to your lifestyle
  • Medical interventions when necessary
  • Ongoing support to keep the weight off

Modern Medical Weight Management

We specialize in the use of advanced prescription medications as part of a comprehensive plan. Our medical protocols utilize treatments that mimic natural hormones to help regulate appetite and digestion — helping you:

  1. Feel full faster and stay full longer.
  2. Reduce cravings and “food noise.”
  3. Regulate metabolic function effectively.
Please note: all prescriptions are determined by a physician based on a thorough medical evaluation and availability.
Integrated Care

Nutrition & Exercise Therapy

Medication is a powerful tool, but it is not a cure-all. To ensure long-term success and prevent weight regain, we integrate clinical nutrition and movement into your treatment plan.

Dietitian Services

We don’t believe in restrictive “starvation” diets. Our nutritional guidance is designed to fit your life in Trinidad.

  • Metabolic Nutrition — meal plans that manage blood sugar and insulin levels.
  • Muscle Preservation — protein guidance so you lose fat, not muscle.
  • Real-World Eating — practical strategies for enjoying local foods on track.

Sports Medicine & Exercise Prescription

Movement is medicine, but it must be done safely. We prescribe exercise just like we prescribe medication.

  • Safe Movement — activity plans tailored to your mobility and joint health.
  • Injury Prevention — guidance to prevent strain as activity increases.
  • Exercise Therapy — movements that boost metabolism and heart health.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight will I lose?

While individual results vary, clinical data for modern medical weight management shows significant reduction in body weight when combined with lifestyle changes.

Can we discuss medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro?

Many patients ask about GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide) or Mounjaro (tirzepatide). Our physicians can provide education on how GLP-1 medications work, their benefits and risks, and whether they are appropriate for you, as part of your consultation.

Are there side effects?

As with any medication, side effects can occur. The most common are nausea or digestive discomfort. These are usually mild and improve over time — we start with a low dose to minimize them.
