Our mission at NovaABC is to help our patients achieve and maintain optimal health through weight loss that is permanent. Dr McCarthy is dedicated exclusively to the science of weight loss. He will empower you to make a lifetime habit of healthy choices.

Our Diabetes Relief Program is speciifically designed to help patients (even those who are not overweight) diagnosed with diabetes, pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome (see below). Although overweight patients can lose a significant amount of weight in our program, the primary focus is the correction of underlying metabolic abnormalities that lead to elevated cardiovascular risk and diabetic complications. A full description of the program can be found on the link on the left labeled Diabetes Relief Program.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors for stroke and heart disease. If you have any 3 you are at elevated risk for complications. HDL and triglyceriders are part of a lipid (cholesterol) test.

Waist circumference (not pants size): average male 40 inches or more; females over 35 inches

HDL (good cholesterol): males less than 40 mg/dl; females less than 50 mg/dl

At NovaABC we recognize that excess weight, caused by poor nutrition and inactivity, are the root cause, or greatly contributes, to many common diseases. Some of these include hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, esophageal reflux, sleep apnea, and even some cancers.

Scientist are now discovering that how a body metabolizes fat is tied to signals given off by our body. Dr McCarthy will help you discover how to control those signals which will enable you to finally shed those unwanted pounds.

Our goal is to prevent and slow the progress, or in some cases reverse, the damage brought on by poor health habits. We understand that excess weight is not a matter of choice or lack of willpower, but rather a medical disease that requires long term treatment.

At Nova ABC we utilize up-to-date, safe, and scientifically proven methods to help you achieve and maintain weight loss.

As a member of the American Board of Bariatric Physicians, Dr McCarthy is uniquely qualified to advise you in reaching your weight loss goal. Bariatric medicine has been gaining more and more attention in the medical community as physicians are beginning to realize that excess weight is a disease which is at epidemic proportions in our society. At this time there are only a little more than 300 board certified bariatricians in the country. These bariatricians are trained in the science of weight loss.

In the past physicians merely treated the diseases which were caused by excess weight. At Nova ABC we take a proactive approach to medicine by treating the root cause of these various diseases. Dr McCarthy has dedicated all his attention in recent years in developing the best weight loss program possible. Utilizing his extensive medical knowledge and diagnostic skill he has been very successful in helping numerous patients in achieving their weight loss goals. Many specialists in the Northern Virginia area refer their patients for treatment with Dr. McCarthy.

Most people have experienced success with special diets or commercial weight loss centers. Unfortunately, a great majority of patients eventually regain all the weight they worked so hard to lose. Such factors like boredom, monotony, hunger, frustration, a vacation, or some unforeseen life event will interrupt or trigger the reversal of all the work and effort that you put into losing the weight.

We are all challenged daily with temptations of tasty foods, life's stresses, and time constraints that prevent us from eating and exercising the way we should. Some patients may also be constrained by physical problems. On top of all this, excess weight in itself creates metabolic changes that counteract even our best efforts!

At Nova ABC we approach each patients' condition individually. Dr McCarthy will look at your lifestyle, metabolism, genetic background and underlying medical issues, he will then design a diet plan specifically for you. He will monitor your progress, assessing your individual situation, adjusting your program as needed, in order to help you achieve maximum and lasting success.

If a lengthy, healthy and energetic life is your goal, don't hesitate call today for your First Step to a Healthier YOU!!!
