About Dr. Vivek Gupta
Welcome to Mindful Weight Loss! My name is Vivek Gupta, and I am a physician board certified in obesity medicine and internal medicine, as well as a daily practitioner of mindfulness meditation. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from New York Medical College, completed my residency at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, hold a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Southern California, and earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. I am passionate about helping those who struggle with excess weight. Having wrestled with weight issues myself, I discovered that there are both medical and non-medical tools that actually work. From my personal experience of losing 40-50 pounds two separate times in my life, I know that it is not easy to lose weight. Our bodies, minds, environments, and sometimes people are often obstacles to success. However, with education, mental tools, skills, mindfulness, medications, meal replacements, and general support, it is possible to overcome the sadly infuriatingly difficult challenge of losing weight.
At its core, the goal is not merely a number on the scale but living our lives closer to our aspirations and values. To really grow, we must first accept where we are in order to go where we want to be. At Mindful Weight Loss, I will take the time to listen and get to know you, walk with you on the path of change, and help you achieve a truer version of yourself.

Dr. Gupta is an incredible doctor. He is kind, listens well, and is highly in tune with my needs. Prior to beginning treatment with him, I was a bit apprehensive about potentially feeling self-conscious or judged. These fears have stopped me from seeking treatment before. My anxiety lifted within the first couple minutes of our first session. He made me feel at ease and acknowledged my feelings with empathy and compassion.
Beyond his fantastic clinical demeanor, he is clearly a gifted internist. He was thorough, consulted with my other doctors, and looked at the big picture. I trust his judgment and appreciate his collaborative and innovative approach to treatment. I am very happy to be working with him!
