About Us | Poly-Tech Sleep & W8MD’s Physician Weight Loss – Philadelphia

Tired of being overweight?

If you’ve tried every fad diet and still feel stuck, you’re exactly who we built W8MD’s insurance physician weight loss program for. At our Philadelphia center, we combine medical weight management with sleep wellness so you can finally see safe, lasting results—often with health insurance accepted for physician visits (coverage varies by plan).

Who we are

W8MD Weight Loss & Sleep is one of the few programs in Greater Philadelphia that offers physician-supervised medical weight loss and sleep medicine with the convenience of insurance-friendly visits. Led by Prab R. Tumpati, MD (Medical Director), our multidisciplinary team customizes care to your health history, lifestyle, and goals.

Our mission

Help people overcome obesity—and the sleep problems that often come with it—using evidence-based medicine, practical nutrition, and compassionate coaching. We focus on root causes (metabolic, behavioral, sleep, medication effects), not gimmicks.

What makes us different

  • Doctor-led evaluation (metabolic risks, medications, sleep, labs)

  • Personalized nutrition (low-glycemic or keto-friendly options; LCD/VLCD where appropriate)

  • Optional meal replacements to simplify calories and protein

  • FDA-approved medications when clinically indicated (never one-size-fits-all)

  • Integrated sleep care (snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, RLS) under the same roof

  • Clear maintenance plan so results stick

Who we help

People who are serious about losing weight—especially those who’ve tried multiple programs without success. We’ve welcomed patients from across Philadelphia, Delaware, and even Nassau, Bahamas.

How the program works

  1. Thorough intake & testing – Medical history, medications, labs, and sleep screening.

  2. Custom plan – Protein-forward, high-fiber meals; low-glycemic or keto-friendly frameworks; LCD/VLCD when appropriate and supervised.

  3. Medication stewardship – Discussion of FDA-approved options (e.g., GLP-1/GLP-1-GIP therapies, phentermine/topiramate, Contrave, orlistat) if they fit your profile.

  4. Sleep optimization – Home or in-lab testing and treatment (CPAP/Auto-PAP/BiPAP, CBT-I) to remove hidden blockers.

  5. Follow-ups & maintenance – Regular visits (in-person or tele-visits after your first visit) to adjust calories, macros, activity, meds, and sleep therapy—plus a relapse-prevention plan.

What you can expect

  • Significant, controlled weight loss at a pace that’s safe for you

  • Improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, energy, and sleep (individual results vary)

  • A supportive team that listens, answers questions, and adapts your plan as life changes
