About Alexandra Colarusso

Tired of diets that don’t work? Weight loss should be medical—not miserable. Insurance-Covered. Telehealth. Personalized. Expert & Compassionate Care. If you're tired of quick fixes that don’t last, I’m here to help you finally take control of your weight in a way that’s sustainable, science-based, compassionate, and tailored to your body and goals. And covered by insurance (no membership fees!), and no fake and gross "food" to purchase! I provide judgment-free, empathic care for individuals navigating the physical and emotional effects of weight gain and weight stigma. Trained under a Harvard Medical School faculty member, I use the latest medical tools—like in-depth labs, evidence-based medications, app-based progress tracking, metabolic rate testing, body composition analysis—to continuously fine-tune your treatment plan. If appropriate, I also prescribe FDA-approved medications, such as GLP-1 medications like Ozempic/Wegovy (semaglutide), and Zepbound/Mounjaro (tirzepatide) as part of a broader, personalized plan that includes nutritional and behavioral strategies. These all can be powerful tools, but I always make sure they’re used safely, monitored closely, and combined with long-term support for true transformation that is sustainable. Whether you're dealing with menopause-related weight gain, prediabetes, emotional eating, PCOS, or just years of frustration—you’re not alone. My holistic approach integrates medical, nutritional, psychological, and lifestyle care to help you feel better, function better, and live better—not just lose weight. Let’s talk. Tell me where you’re stuck, and I’ll help guide you forward—with science, compassion, and a plan that actually is likely to work for your life and story. This provider's Primary Supervising Physician is Omar Haque.

I can’t say enough good things about Dignity Weight Center and their approach to care. The provider I work with truly listens, explains things clearly, and makes me feel cared for as a person, not just a patient. It’s obvious my provider loves what she does. Rather than pushing quick fixes, she focuses on understanding my health as a whole and creating a strategy that truly fits my body and lifestyle. What really sets Dignity apart for me is the emphasis on long-term, lasting health improvements. I have learned why certain changes matter, not just what to do, and that education is making a huge difference in staying motivated and the results I'm seeing.
Was able to get an appt within a few weeks of signing up. I watched the intro videos about their practice style, and it seemed balanced in that they took into account medical, financial, and psychological factors that affect weight and health. There are initial lab tests recommended which I got at Quest Diagnostics, and there are other more detailed tests that are available for an extra cost if I wanted - like DEXA scan for muscle/bone/fat mass percentages. Since I didn't get imaging tests, all my appts have been telehealth/video, so I'm able to be at home for the 30 min weekly sessions. There are stages to the process, and weight loss medications can be considered if it fits one's situation. Alexandra really works with me and gives advice specific to my situation and what my schedule will allow. I'm able to take small steps in the way that I can, and i'm never pressured into intense diet or workout changes. I don't have to do anything I don't want to do. Going great so far.
I have been working with Alexandra since 2023. She has been tremendously helpful in many impactful ways. She is supportive, knowledgable and kind. She has helped me through this very personal journey of not just weight loss but towards better over all health. She is also working with another member of my family and I recommend her to everyone looking for guidance around nutrition and towards better health. I am so grateful to be working with Ally as I continue to build healthy strategies for keeping off the 54 pounds I have lost.
Ally is always cheaper and upbeat. She gives me up-to-date articles, she guides me on my food intake, making sure that I get enough protein. She’sis always cheaper and upbeat.

I’m not the easiest patient but she is extremely patient with me. We’ve been working together for over a year now. My husband also is a patient. I would not hesitate to recommend her at all.
I have been working my nutrition habits with Ally for a few years! She is absolutely wonderful, always great ideas and extremely professional! I will continue working with her to improve my health.
I have worked with ally for about a year and half now and can’t recommend her enough. She wanted me to succeed and helped me accomplish what I set out to accomplish.
Was great. Got a lot covered
I've been working with Ally for a while now and she's great! She knows a ton and is clearly passionate about her job. I've improved my health quite a bit in this time, and I'm excited to keep working with her!
Ally is an all-round great person! She is attentive, thoughtful and takes the time to get to know you personally in order to form a personalized plan. She has taught me a lot about weight-loss management, habit forming and helped me to gradually change my behaviors with an evidence-based approach. Highly recommend to anyone!
Ally has ben a gift to me. Working with her has enabled me to truly change my relationship with food, something I’ve been unsuccessful in addressing since my first WW meeting at the age of 14. Ally has provided me with information and support in a completely non-judgmental fashion. I look forward to our appointments every week because I know she is there helping me on my path to long term better health.
I am extremely grateful to be a patient at Dignity. I have learned a lot about weight loss. So much more than the usual eat less and exercise more mantra. I have learned behavorial modification skills that have assisted me on my weight loss journey. I am extremely grateful for my clinician, Alexandra Colarusso who has provided me great guidance and support.
