About Dr. Pincus
 Lewis M. Pincus, D.O., is board certified in internal medicine, and is an acknowledged expert in the field of weight management (bariatric medicine). Since 1983 Dr. Pincus has developed and led lifestyle change programs for the treatment of obesity and associated weight related illnesses.
Dr. Pincus is the founder and leader of To Life! ™, a one year physician led, multidisciplinary, structured weight loss and weight loss maintenance program that teaches excellence in nutrition, fitness and mind-body medicine. The To Life! Program meets the United States Preventive Services Task Force on Obesity guidelines as an intensive medical and behavioral treatment program for the treatment of obesity. To Life!™ is designed for patients who want to manage their weight with a non-surgical approach, and for those patients who understand the value of participating in a comprehensive lifestyle change program both before and after weight loss surgery.
Because of the success of the To Life!™ program, Dr. Pincus also serves as medical director of the Weight Management Institute, Methodist Health System, Dallas, Texas. In addition, To Life! ™ was the first weight management program chosen by the Microsoft Corporation as a principal provider of structured weight loss and weight loss maintenance services for their Irving, TX., campus.
Dr. Pincus is a speaker and national advisory board member for Abbott Laboratories and their weight management drug, Meridia. His special interests lie in (1) the prevention and/or treatment of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease through lifestyle change and (2) identifying and treating those weight related co-morbidities (sleep apnea, binge eating disorder, night eating syndrome, depression) that have interfered with or have rendered impossible weight loss and weight loss maintenance.
