Services
At Palmetto Wellness & Weight Loss MD, we want to work side by side with your primary care physician to help minimize cardiovascular risk and other complications that coincide with obesity, save you money on doctor's visits, and help you successfully lose and maintain weight lost. Dr. Gregory Eaves is a cardiologist and opened Palmetto Wellness & Weight Loss MD in September of 2013.
Through our Functional Medicine training we understand how important maintaining the proper balance of hormones is to one's overall health and sense of well being. We offer blood and saliva testing to determine and follow up your hormone requirements, and work with local compounding pharmacies to customize your prescription using bio-identical natural hormones to optimize your hormone balance.
Education: We provide patients with the educational resources needed to lose weight safely. Encouragement: We provide encouragement along the journey to a new you and we continue to customize your plan as you lose weight. Accountability: We provide accountability for our patients by meeting with them every week to go over their weight loss goals.
Conventional medicine is symptom-driven and medication-dominated. Many times, controlling symptoms with medication is considered a success without identifying and treating the underlying cause. We felt that something was missing. Functional medicine is the answer!
Functional medicine seeks for the cause of symptoms: lifestyle (diet, sleep, stress, exercise), environment (career, exposures, infections, chemicals), and the interaction with your genetics to understand the source.Palmetto Wellness and Weight Loss integrates conventional and functional medicine to give our patients the best of both worlds!

Functional medicine takes advantage of the most cutting-edge discoveries and testing available on the market. The laboratory testing can assess vitamins, minerals, amino acids, hormones, food sensitivities, inflammatory markers, autoimmunity, hormone metabolism, neurotransmitters, and genetics to name a few.

We are so fortunate to have this medical practice in Aiken. It is so much more than a weight loss center. They take a whole person approach - focusing on your physical as well as your mental health. All testing and subsequent recommendations are individualized. The staff is professional, genuine and caring.

My husband and I have been seeing them for over a year now and both Dr Greg Eaves and Veronica Chavis (PA) are caring and attentive and listen to our concerns and work to adjust our wellness plan based on our needs. Their whole staff is a pleasure to work with that we look forward to our visits.

This place is amazing. Dr. Eaves takes a whole health approach. There is not a "one program or system fits all" mentality. Not only have I lost weight but I am no longer on cholesterol medicine and I have cut my blood pressure medicine by 3 quarters.
The staff are extremely polite, friendly, and very excited about a clients progress. I highly recommend this practice.
