Our Program
Physician-Led, Evidence-Based Medicine
We don’t hand out prescriptions and hope for the best. Every GLP-1 and other medication we use is part of a thoughtful, physician-led plan.
Our board-certified clinicians:
- Take the time to understand your biology, history, and fears
- Start low and adjust carefully so you feel safe and supported
- Focus on side-effect management, nutrition, and movement alongside the meds
Patients tell us things like, “I finally felt safe, seen, and supported in every step” and “The medications and program together were life-changing.”
Medications aren’t a magic fix—but with the right guidance, they can make change finally feel possible.
Unlimited Coaching for Real-Life Change
Our health coaching is where “this actually fits my life” happens.
Your coach helps you:
- Make small, sustainable changes instead of chasing perfection
- Work with stress, emotional eating, and cravings without shame
- Adjust sleep, movement, and food habits in a way that fits your schedule and energy
Patients describe coaching as “a game changer” and “like nothing I’ve ever tried in the past.”
One person lost almost 50 pounds and said the biggest difference was feeling empowered, not judged. Another lost 10 pounds on coaching alone because the tips were so tailored and realistic.
This is where we translate self-compassion and science into daily choices you can actually keep.
Concierge Service & a Team That Actually Cares
We built Mindful Wellness to feel less like a rushed clinic and more like a team that knows you.
Our front desk and care team:
- Respond quickly to questions, refills, and scheduling
- Help with meds, labs, and logistics so you’re not chasing paperwork
- Make visits feel welcoming, whether you’re in person or virtual
Reviews mention that “everyone here has the patient’s best interest and journey at the forefront” and that our team “go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and cared for.”
That responsiveness and kindness is part of the treatment. When you feel supported, it’s easier to stay in the program long enough for it to change your life.
Carla Baccio
Director of Health Coaching
My name is Carla Baccio and I am the Director of Health Coaching at Mindful Wellness. One of the things I love about working with Dr Gupta and the team is the compassionate approach we have towards weight loss.
I have a bachelor’s degree in business management and a master’s degree in Exercise Science, Nutrition and Wellness. With over 15 different certifications on wellness and behavior change, I have learned to acknowledge that each person is different and the struggles we experience in life can define how we deal with food and exercise.
I am also a certified Personal Trainer and hold a Corrective Exercise Specialist certification through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine); I bring to Mindful Wellness over 20 years of experience of personal and group training.
I love that we are able to offer our patients online personal training through the app Everfit, in which I am able to coach, train, and connect with patients on a regular basis, providing feedback, modifications and progressions to their training.
According to our patients, the best part about the online training is the accountability they get from training with me through the app, and those who are local in the South Bay can also get their Body Composition Analysis on a regular basis at our Manhattan Beach clinic.
The nutritional guidelines I coach my patients on are truly personalized based on 2 things: Current food intake, and goals. I do not give cookie-cutter meal plans, instead I listen, we explore options together, and then I provide a list of suggestions to try. At the end, I am happy to report that my patients experience a complete lifestyle change that is sustainable for anyone wanting to take their health to the next level.
Kristin Gonzalez
Health Coach
My name is Kristin Gonzalez, and I’ve been a health coach with Mindful Wellness for the past three years. I truly value the collaborative spirit of our team and the genuine care each member shows for our patients. I hold a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and certifications in Women’s Health Coaching and Functional Nutrition for Women’s Health through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute.
I’m passionate about supporting people in reaching their health and wellness goals through behavior change, lifestyle adjustments, encouragement, and accountability. My approach is to compassionately “meet people where they are” and empower them to take meaningful steps toward better health. Outside of work, I’m a mom to a very active 8-year-old boy, and most of my free time is spent with my family exploring the beautiful outdoors of Northern California.
Lizeth Flemino
Health Coach
As a proud Las Vegas native and an IIN-certified health coach, I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive space where every patient feels seen, heard, and cared for. My own holistic weight-loss journey after having two children showed me the power of nurturing the mind, body, and spirit for true healing and lasting transformation.
Alongside individualized care for adults, I also work with families and children to build healthy habits that last a lifetime. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of finding realistic, balanced routines that fit into busy lives and support the well-being of both kids and adults. I partner with each patient to craft personalized action plans that honor their unique goals and dreams-offering guidance, encouragement, and gentle accountability along the way.
Drawing from my background in functional medicine, I focus on self-love, self-care, and practical, sustainable steps for meal prep, portion control, movement, stress, and sleep management. My goal is to walk beside you on your journey toward health and well-being.
