The Team

Gauri Dayal, M.D. – Medical Advisor

Dr. Dayal graduated Valedictorian from Friendswood High School and then earned a Bachelor’s degree with highest honors from UT-Austin. She completed her medical school training at Baylor College of Medicine and is a board-certified Family Physician who has been in private practice in the League City area for the past 12 years. She is thrilled to offer a weight loss method that emphasizes a long term transition to healthy eating and lifelong weight maintenance.

She has been very pleased with the positive health effects she is observing in many of her patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, gastroesophageal reflux disease and sleep apnea as they lose weight. On a personal note, Dr. Dayal went on the diet herself before she put any of her patients on it to get full confidence in the method and its efficacy and ease of use.
