The Lighter Way Method™

Dr. Mikiel’s proprietary approach for helping you
remove heavy physical, emotional, & psychological burdens so you can
lose weight with ease

Tired of trying to lose weight with no real results?

From Dr. Indira:

“If you’re like many of the clients I serve, your weight is getting in the way of you living your best life. You want to lose weight so you can be more active and do the things you currently cannot do because of your weight.

But you’re struggling with how to lose weight effectively and keep it off. Perhaps you’ve tried various fad diets and meal plans that don’t work long term. Perhaps you start a healthier diet but just fall back into old habits of bad eating and don’t know how to shake that habit. Maybe you start to exercise but the sheer boredom keeps you from being consistent. The Cleveland Clinic states that as many as 95% of people who lose weight not only gain it back but in fact gain more. If you don’t know how to find a truly effective method and are feeling like giving up, I understand, and I am here to help.

Physician Assisted Weight Loss

My journey began with a degree in psychology and counseling people before I went into medicine. I am a board-certified Family Practice MD with a specialty in obesity medicine as well as functional medicine, an approach that utilizes deep testing to uncover the root cause of your symptoms.

I've taken over 20 years of experience working with thousands of patients in psychology, family medicine, and obesity medicine and used that knowledge to create a weight loss and maintenance program centered around food psychology. The Lighter Way Method is a 4-part approach to weight loss that helps people not just lose the weight but also keep it off by addressing the subconscious patterns of eating so that they can rejoice in their new healthy lifestyle and be able to have confidence in their ability to maintain their health. The result? They have renewed energy to do the fulfilling things they haven't been able to do before.
