Weight loss and wellness in Benicia, CA
Weight loss and wellness at Benicia Medical Aesthetics covers a supervised medical weight loss program and three single treatments: IV therapy, NAD+ therapy and B12 injections. Janeeh Miranda, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified nurse practitioner, leads every plan, and Sundar Natajaran, M.D., oversees the medical protocols.
Weight loss & wellnessFour treatmentsA program or a single treatment: how they differ
The wellness menu splits into two kinds of care, and knowing which one you're after saves you a wasted visit.
Medical weight loss is a program. You commit to at least three months. It starts with a consultation and baseline labs, and if prescription weight loss medication is right for you, Janeeh prescribes it and sees you regularly to adjust the plan. Body contouring and B12 are built in, because losing weight changes your shape as well as the number on the scale. You're signing up for ongoing medical care, with a provider who knows your history.
IV therapy, NAD+ therapy and B12 injections are single treatments. You book one when you want it. An IV drip takes 30 to 60 minutes, an NAD+ infusion runs 1 to 2 hours, and a B12 shot takes a few minutes. Some patients come monthly and some come twice a year. Each one still starts with a health screening, because anything that goes into a vein or a muscle is a medical treatment.
How to choose the right wellness treatment
Start with what you actually want to change.
- You want to lose weight and keep it off. That's the medical weight loss program. Single treatments won't do that job, and we won't sell them to you as if they could.
- You feel run down and want to know why. Ask your primary care provider for bloodwork first. If your B12 comes back low, B12 injections are a direct fix.
- You want fluids and vitamins before a long week, a trip or an event. IV therapy is the one to book.
- You've read about NAD+ and want to try it. Book a consultation. Janeeh will walk you through what the research shows so far, which is less than the internet suggests, and whether an infusion suits you.
Not sure? Tell us at your consultation what's bothering you and Janeeh will point you to the one treatment worth trying first, or tell you that none of them fit.

Weight loss and wellness questions
What is the difference between medical weight loss and wellness treatments?
Medical weight loss is a supervised program of at least three months with prescription weight loss medication, body contouring and B12. Wellness treatments, meaning IV therapy, NAD+ therapy and B12 injections, are single visits you book when you want them. Both start with a health screening by the nurse practitioner.
Can IV therapy or B12 injections help you lose weight?
IV therapy and B12 injections are not weight loss treatments on their own. A B12 shot corrects low B12, and an IV drip replaces fluids and vitamins. For weight loss, the medical weight loss program is the treatment designed for it, and B12 is already included in that program.
What does the Wellness membership include at Benicia Medical Aesthetics?
The Wellness membership at Benicia Medical Aesthetics is $50 a month and includes one B12 shot every month, 30% off all B12 shots and 30% off IV drips. It suits patients who come in regularly for B12 or IV therapy and want those visits to cost less.
