Physician-Led Diabetes, Weight & Cardiometabolic Care
One physician. One connected plan for your metabolic health.
Your weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, liver, kidneys, sleep, and heart health can influence one another. At WellifyCare, we take time to understand the full picture—and help you build a clear, personalized plan forward.
Know your body. Understand your risk. Take the next step with confidence.
Initial medical visits are billed to insurance when WellifyCare participates with your plan and the service is covered. Plan benefits and patient cost-sharing vary.
Your health is connected
Maybe you know something is changing.
Maybe your A1c is rising. Your weight has become harder to manage. Your blood pressure is creeping up. Your cholesterol is not where you want it. Or you simply know your family history puts you at risk.
These concerns often overlap. That is why WellifyCare looks at your cardiometabolic health together—not as a collection of isolated numbers.
Weight & Obesity
Evidence-based obesity medicine focused on health, function, and sustainable long-term treatment.
Prediabetes & Diabetes
Personalized care focused on glucose and the broader risks that often accompany diabetes.
Blood Pressure
Evaluation and treatment that considers medications, weight, sleep, home readings, and relevant contributors.
Cholesterol & Heart Risk
Understand your risk factors and build a personalized prevention strategy.
Fatty Liver & Metabolic Health
Evaluate metabolic contributors, assess risk when appropriate, and address modifiable factors.
Connected Risk Factors
Bring overlapping metabolic concerns into one thoughtful, coordinated plan.
Your first step
Start by understanding where you are.
Your first step is a comprehensive medical evaluation with Dr. Dere.
We review your story—not just your latest lab result. We look at your medical history, medications, weight trajectory, prior testing, family history, daily routines, and the health goals that matter to you.
Then we make the information useful.
What is happening? What matters most right now? What can we change? What should we do next?Start With Your Medical Evaluation
Depending on your needs, we may review:
- Weight and body-composition trends
- Blood pressure patterns
- Glucose and A1c
- Cholesterol and cardiovascular risk
- Kidney and liver health
- Sleep and possible sleep apnea
- Nutrition and physical activity
- Current and prior medications
- Family history and other risk-enhancing factors
How care works
A clear path forward.
Evaluate
Begin with a comprehensive physician visit focused on your cardiometabolic health, history, medications, risk factors, and goals.
Understand
Dr. Dere explains the important findings in plain language. You should leave knowing what matters—and why.
Personalize
Together, we build a treatment plan that may include nutrition, physical activity, sleep, weight treatment, risk-factor management, and medication when clinically appropriate.
Follow
Medical follow-up continues according to your clinical needs through the appropriate insurance-based care pathway.
Add more structure, if you choose
If you want monthly physician-led lifestyle coaching, a Personal Health Roadmap, and structured progress sessions, you may choose WellifyCare Guided Care.
The 4H Framework™
Better health is rarely built by one medication, one diet, or one perfect week.
Hope
See a path forward. We set realistic priorities and focus on progress you can build on.
Hormones & Metabolism
Understand relevant biology. Testing is selected based on your history and clinical needs.
Hunger
Work with appetite biology using practical nutrition strategies and, when appropriate, evidence-based medication.
Habits
Build for real life. We turn nutrition, movement, strength, sleep, and daily routines into practical next steps.
The goal is not perfection. The goal is better health in service of the life you want to live.
Meet Dr. Dere
Medicine taught me the value of meeting patients earlier.
Dereje Tefera Siyum, MD, MSHI, DipABOM—known as Dr. Dere—is a double board-certified Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician and the founder of WellifyCare Medical S.C.
As a hospitalist, he has cared for adults facing serious complications of diabetes, obesity, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. Those experiences strengthened his commitment to helping patients understand risk, address important modifiable factors, and build thoughtful plans earlier.
“My goal is not simply to tell you that a number is normal or abnormal. I want you to understand what it means, what matters most, and what we can do together.”Meet Dr. Dere— Dr. Dere
You were created for more than managing chronic disease.
Better health can mean more energy for your family. More confidence in your future. More ability to work, serve, travel, move, and live with purpose.
We cannot promise perfect health or a particular result. We can help you better understand your health and build a thoughtful, evidence-based plan to care for it.
Restoring Health. Renewing Hope.
