SAMOON AHMAD Psychiatrist M.D.

Welcome to the Integrative Center for Wellness and Weight Management, VitalBalance Solutions and the Balance Body Mind Store, a place for healthy transformation. Please take a moment to read this information that you may find useful and practical for day-to-day healthy living. The key to optimal health and vitality is harmonizing both body and mind. My mission is to help you achieve that balance, lose or maintain weight, improve health, and attain ideal body composition. My practice is dedicated to treating individuals who are interested in balanced, healthy living; losing or managing weight; improving physical performance and endurance; and developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the long-term. I also specialize in treating obesity and related disorders. You will find examples of patients who have successfully achieved their health and wellness objectives on the website. Most of us have tried numerous diets and plans, but simply fail in the long-term. The reason for failure relates to human behavior, which does not change with short-term plans or diet fads. Permanent improvements to health and wellness require a focused, customized and balanced approach to influence behavior. As a physician with a background in medicine and specialization in psychiatry, I can help patients achieve their goals in both physical and mental domains and have developed the Balance Body Mind and VitalBalance Healthy Solutions to that end. As a physician, I adhere to the basic premise of first, do no harm, and therefore am focused on simple, realistic goals and solutions. My approach will guide you through complex and controversial health myths and provide a program that offers balanced choices in food, nutritional supplements, nutraceuticals, exercise and behavior therapy. VitalBalance is a unique, personalized program that I have developed and run at the Integrative Center for Wellness and Weight Management, 800 B Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10065. The program is a safe and effective treatment to reach your optimal body composition and weight. Depending on your objectives, I will personally guide you through short-term solutions and/or long-term management. Phone consultations are an option for straightforward questions. Customized, comprehensive evaluations at the Center are routinely scheduled for more complex objectives. It may be helpful to browse the website and link to online store to familiarize yourself with available products, but do feel free to contact me for suggestions or recommendations, and please note that customized programs require screening questionnaires and other pertinent biometric information.  I look forward to hearing from you.
