Who can benefit from my weight loss program?

My weight loss program is a great option if you:

Have tried diet and exercise but struggle to see results
Have a BMI of 30+ or a BMI of 27+ with health concerns like diabetes or high blood pressure
Want a structured and supervised approach to weight loss

If other weight loss methods haven’t worked for you, my weight loss clinic can give you the expert support and results you’re looking for.

FAQ:

What is the most successful weight loss treatment?

It depends on your body. Some men do well with lifestyle changes alone, while others benefit from Tirzepatide, which has helped many patients manage their weight. Clinical trials show 41.4% of people taking the 10 mg dose and 51.8% of those on the 15 mg dose achieved at least a 15% reduction in body weight — but my results often beat that. The key? Matching the right plan to the right person.

What’s the best prescription for weight loss?

Several FDA-approved options are available, including:

Tirzepatide: Helps control appetite and blood sugar.
Phentermine: A stimulant that reduces hunger.
Contrave (naltrexone & bupropion): Helps curb cravings and emotional eating.
Ozempic: Another GLP-1 medication that supports weight loss.

I’ll help you decide what’s right for you, and make sure it works safely.

How can I check my body fat percentage?

A DEXA scan is the most accurate way to measure body fat. Other methods include:

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
Skinfold Calipers
Hydrostatic Weighing
Smart Scales

Yakima Men’s Clinic is one of the only clinics in Yakima County offering DEXA scans (a gold-standard test), allowing you to track real changes in your body composition. It’s more accurate than BIA, calipers, or smart scales—and it helps us track real changes in your body. Since a large percentage of weight loss can come from muscle, DEXA scans help you focus on losing fat while preserving muscle through strength training and high-protein diets.

Dr. Kobayashi is an exceptional medical professional whose expertise and compassion truly set him apart. From the very first appointment, I was impressed by his ability to listen carefully, explain medical information clearly, and approach each concern with genuine care. His attention to detail and calm demeanor create a space where you feel supported and confident in your treatment plan. What makes Dr. Kobayashi truly remarkable is his commitment to treating the person, not just the condition. He takes time to understand your overall health, lifestyle, and goals, making his care both thorough and personalized. Whether for routine visits or more complex issues, Dr. Kobayashi consistently provides top-tier care and reassurance. I would highly recommend Dr. Kobayashi to anyone seeking a trusted, knowledgeable, and empathetic physician. His professionalism, kindness, and deep understanding of medicine are a rare combination.

Justin

Dr. Kobayashi takes the time to listen to any issues you are having and listens to your feedback on what kind of treatment you may prefer under his guidelines. He took the time to sit down and go through my lab results one by one and tell me what looked good and bad, which has definitely not been my experience with other medical clinics in the Yakima area (I'd be lucky to get a phone call about my results at other places). If you are looking for good care in this area, I would definitely recommend Yakima Men's Clinic.

Robert

This place man, absolute, amazing personalized health care. Dr. Kobayashi makes me feel like a heard, important, patient. I’ve never been happier with medical treatment and to not be gaslit as well in the process is the cherry on top of the icing here. You respect him, he’ll respect you. Life hasn’t been this good in a long time.

Jeff

I’ve had the best medical experience of my life working with Dr. Kobayashi and the Yakima Men’s Clinic. I was beyond frustrated working with my old, insurance-driven PCP. I was diabetic, overweight with no clear path for improvement. Now, after working with Dr. Kobayashi and his staff, my A1C is in the normal range and my weight is under control. It’s not hyperbole to say that Yakima Men’s Clinic saved my life. I cannot recommend them high enough. I’m healthier, happier and feel as though I’m actually heard when I communicate. Please consider making this facility a part of your life.
