Holistic weight loss doctors in Bloomfield and West Bloomfield
If losing weight feels like an uphill battle and nothing seems to work, it’s understandable to feel frustrated.
You’ve tried different diets and workout routines, only to see fleeting results—or none at all.
But real, lasting change starts with understanding why weight gain happens in the first place. By addressing the unique factors affecting your body—like metabolism, hormones, and lifestyle—we create a plan that works for you, not against you.
Welcome to Elle MD! Located in Royal Oak, Michigan, we proudly serve clients in Bloomfield and West Bloomfield, including neighborhoods like Westchester Village, Bloomfield Village, and Franklin. Dr. Erin Hendriks and Dr. Maricela Castillo are committed to helping you achieve sustainable weight loss with a personalized, science-backed approach.

Discover real weight loss through a tailored approach
At Elle MD, we take a deeper approach, moving beyond temporary solutions to uncover the real reasons behind weight challenges. By understanding how your hormones, metabolism, nutrition, and lifestyle all play a role, we design a plan that truly works for you.
Because you deserve more than just short-term results. You deserve to feel confident, energized, and fully in control of your health.
You already know that quick fixes don’t work—and you’re ready for something better.
Most conventional approaches emphasize calorie restriction and exercise without considering key factors like hormones or metabolism.
Weight gain is often tied to stress, poor sleep, and nutritional habits. Ignoring these connections can leave you stuck.
Crash diets and one-size-fits-all plans aren’t built for long-term success, often leading to frustration and lost progress.

FAQ´s
How do I know if I need medical weight loss?
If you’ve been doing everything “right” but still struggle to lose weight or keep it off, medical weight loss may be the missing piece. Unlike traditional diet and exercise plans that focus only on calories and workouts, this approach looks at the bigger picture—your hormones, metabolism, and overall health—to create a plan that works with your body, not against it.
You might benefit from medical weight loss if:
-You’ve tried multiple diets and fitness routines but haven’t seen lasting progress.
-Hormonal changes, menopause, or metabolic imbalances are making weight loss more difficult.
-You feel stuck and unsure of what steps to take next.
-You need a customized, doctor-guided plan tailored to your body and lifestyle.
At Elle MD, we go beyond quick fixes and focus on long-term success. By addressing the root causes of weight gain, we help you achieve real, sustainable results. If you're ready for a personalized, science-backed approach to weight loss, we’re here to support you every step of the way.How do I know if I need weight loss medications?
At Elle MD in Bloomfield, Michigan, we offer personalized weight loss programs tailored to your specific needs, from medication-free solutions to FDA-approved and compounded medications. For the best results, we recommend combining these medications with lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. Since there are many factors to consider when starting weight loss medication, it's important to discuss your options with your doctor.
How do I know if I qualify for weight loss medication?
Weight loss medications are FDA-approved for patients with obesity, defined as a BMI > 30kg/m2, or for patients with overweight (BMI 27-29 kg/m2) AND the presence of another weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, PCOS, Obstructive Sleep Apnea or high cholesterol.
Which weight loss medications do you prescribe?
At Elle MD, we prescribe Tirzepatide (Zepbound), Semaglutide (Wegovy), Phentermine, Qsymia (phentermine/topirmatate), Contrave (bupropion/naltrexone). Your weight loss medication will be carefully selected based on your unique medical history, needs, and preferences. We will also consider your insurance coverage to ensure the best possible treatment plan.
Do you accept insurance?
To ensure we can offer personalized, in-depth care without the constraints of traditional insurance, our functional medicine and weight management practice does not accept insurance. This approach allows us to prioritize the long-term health and success of our patients.
What happens if my insurance doesn't cover weight loss medications?
Unfortunately, most insurance policies don’t cover weight loss medications. If that’s the case for you, we’ll guide you through options like out-of-pocket payments, savings cards, or compounded medications. We’ve designed our weight loss programs to accommodate these financial options.
How long will I need the medication?
Depending on your individual health goals and weight loss needs, long-term use of weight loss medication may be necessary. At Elle MD, we’ll partner with you to create a customized plan to reduce or discontinue medication while preserving your results. Our method combines effective strategies, including lifestyle adjustments and ongoing support, for sustainable success.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payment by cash, check, VISA, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. We also accept most FSA/HSA
Can I use my flexible spending or health savings account?
Yes. We accept most HSA and FSA cards.
What if I need to reschedule my appointment?
We understand that your schedule might change, and you might need to reschedule your appointment.
