Our Physicians Have Extensive Experience in Weight Loss and Wellness

Dr. Robert Ford


Robert Ford, M.D. has spent more than four decades helping patients transform their health and finally achieve the weight loss success they once thought was out of reach. After earning his medical degree from Rush Medical College in 1984 and serving as Medical Director of Suncoast Family Practice in Sarasota, he saw firsthand how weight and metabolic health impact nearly every aspect of well-being. Since joining Rx Weight Loss as Medical Director in 2007, Dr. Ford has focused his career on helping patients break through stubborn plateaus and overcome the obstacles that have held them back for years. 


Dr. Ford believes weight loss isn’t about willpower — it’s about personalized strategy, medical insight, and the right support. Through comprehensive exams, lab work, and individualized plans, he creates customized programs designed around each patient’s unique physiology and goals. His mission is simple: help you lose weight safely, restore energy, improve overall health, and build lasting habits that lead to real, sustainable results. 


Dr. William McComb

Rx Weight Loss & Wellness programs are guided by William McComb, D.C.—an internationally best-selling author, performance thought leader, and the founder of the Sports Medicine Program at IMG Academy. 


  • Internationally Best-Selling Author 
  • Founder of Sports Medicine at IMG Academy 
  • Performance Professional
  • Evidence-Based Fat Loss Specialist 

Dr. McComb’s book, The Low-Fat Lie & The Smarter Way to Fat Loss, proved strikingly prescient, outlining core principles that would later be echoed in newly announced federal health guidance—nearly a year before those policies were formally introduced. In the book, Dr. McComb challenged decades of low-fat dietary dogma and emphasized metabolic health, whole-food nutrition, and individualized care, themes that now align closely with the updated direction articulated by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his role as head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Donald Trump administration.

The convergence of Dr. McComb’s earlier analysis with current government recommendations underscores the book’s forward-thinking perspective and its relevance in shaping today’s evolving national conversation around nutrition, metabolism, and long-term health.

The team’s science-based methods made all the difference. I feel healthier and more balanced than ever before.
