​
​Expert care for sustainable results
Navigating weight loss options can be overwhelming, especially with the rise of new medications. Dr. Danielle Schwaderer Kettler provides a compassionate, medical approach to weight management that prioritizes your long-term health. Whether you are looking for traditional weight loss protocols or need expert guidance on GLP-1 medications, Dr. Danielle offers a path forward that minimizes side effects and maximizes success.

​Why choose Dr. Danielle?
​
Specialized GLP-1 Management
Dr. Danielle specializes in prescribing and monitoring GLP-1 medications. She works closely with patients to reduce side effects and ensure successful weight loss or chronic disease management.

Flexible medication options
Dr. Danielle stays ahead of changing availability, offering sublingual, oral, and injectable GLP-1 medications, with shipping available to select states.

​Both compounded and commercially available options are prescribed based on your unique needs. Dr. Danielle often customizes GLP-1 doses to reduce side effects and provide a more cautious approach for patients with additional health concerns.

Holistic approach to weight loss
While GLP-1s are a powerful tool, they aren't the only answer. Dr. Danielle offers weight loss protocols that do not include GLP-1 use, ensuring you receive the treatment plan that is right for your body and lifestyle.




How to get started
If you are interested in considering GLP-1s or establishing care with Dr. Danielle, getting started is simple.

1. Submit your interest
Fill out our patient interest form to let us know you are ready to begin your journey.

2. Connect with our team
Our nurse will review your information and notify you of the next steps to schedule your consultation.

3. Complete your labs
Lab work from the past three months is required before beginning GLP-1 treatment. We’ll provide a detailed list of what’s needed, upon booking your initial appointment. You can submit lab results from your primary care doctor or order "Baseline Biomarkers" ($63) labs through UltaLabs, which can be drawn at Quest Diagnostics locations.

4. Attend your initial weight management and follow-up consultations
To ensure effective care, GLP-1 patients are required to attend follow-up appointments monthly for at least three months. After this initial period, the frequency of these appointments may be adjusted. Regular monitoring is essential for several reasons: it helps manage side effects, targets effective weight loss, and ensures patients are developing sustainable habits for long-term success. Additionally, if weight loss stalls, further evaluation may be needed to optimize metabolism and overall wellness.

What others are saying

"Dr. Danielle was recommended to me by my primary care doctor in Sonoma, after my insurance denied coverage of GLP-1's. She provided me with options and carefully considered my chronic ailments and has guided me through GLP-1 use. I have experienced minimal side effects and I have lost over 40 pounds over the last year. I am so pleased with the whole process and I never even reached maximum dose that is traditionally recommended for weight loss. I highly recommend to everyone considering weight loss or improving their overall health."  -M.T.

"I initially started GLP-1's with Dr. Danielle as a means to cut down on food noise and continue my weight loss journey. I was pleased that my gut health seemed to improve dramatically while on GLP-1's. After successfully achieving my goal weight, we slowly titrated off of GLP-1's and my chronic gut symptoms returned. Dr. Danielle suggested we return to a very low "micro-dose" of weekly Semaglutide, and my IBS symptoms have resolved once again. I will be on this therapy for a long time, as it is the only therapy that I have tried for IBS that has made this much of an improvement in my symptoms." - T.R.

"Dr. Danielle and her nurse have guided me along my weight loss journey with care, compassion and innovation. I feel heard and respected. I have tried for years to reach my goal weight, despite my efforts to eat well and exercise regularly. For the first time since my 20's, I am not constantly thinking about my weight." - P.B.

I highly recommend Dr. Danielle and Sonoma Roots for guiding others on a weight loss or GLP-1 journey. They are a 10 out of 10!" - L.N.

Frequently asked questions about weight management options

​1. How do I book a weight management consultation?
You can book a weight management consultation by filling out the new patient interest form. Once submitted, a team member will contact you to schedule your initial appointment.

2. Are weight management medications covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage depends on your insurance provider and plan. We recommend consulting your primary care provider to check GLP-1 coverage. If coverage is denied, you can return to us for alternative GLP-1 options, including commercial and compounded versions.

3. What are the out-of-pocket expenses for treatment?
Out-of-pocket costs for non-insurance users vary greatly depending on the specific medication and dosage utilized. During your initial consultation, we will provide an out-of-pocket cost breakdown for your individualized weight management plan.

4. How much does the initial visit cost?
The cost of the initial visit is $229 and does not include the cost of your medication. Our office does not bill insurance but can provide a super bill for those with insurance that will reimburse for out-of-network providers. Please check with your insurance provider to see if they will cover out-of-network naturopathic care so that you can request a super bill for services rendered from our office. Medicare does not cover naturopathic care.

5. What is the cost of follow-up visits?
Follow-up visits cost $135 for sessions lasting less than 30 minutes. Follow-up appointments are required every four weeks for the first three months, then every 4-8 weeks during dose escalation, and every three months for patients on stable doses of GLP-1 medications.

6. Can Dr. Danielle help manage my GLP-1 use if my primary care physician (PCP) prescribes the medication?
Yes. Many physicians refer their patients to Dr. Danielle to help manage the side effects and nutrient deficiencies common among GLP-1 users.

7. Does Dr. Danielle guarantee weight loss?
No, Dr. Danielle cannot guarantee weight loss. While GLP-1 medications have been shown to support weight management in conjunction with lifestyle changes, individual results may vary. Dr. Danielle works collaboratively with patients to optimize their health by addressing factors like nutrition, physical activity, hormonal influence, sleep quality, stress management, underlying health ailments and overall wellness to support their weight management goals.
