Summit Health Group helps individuals and families in Malibu, Point Dume, and the surrounding coastal communities reach and maintain a healthy weight through medically supervised care. Our clinic is located in Thousand Oaks, roughly 25 to 35 minutes from Malibu by way of Kanan-Dume Road or Malibu Canyon Road. Because our program is built on well-spaced check-ins rather than frequent visits, our team is glad to coordinate your appointments so the drive fits comfortably into your schedule.
Lasting weight loss is not a short-term diet. It is a long-term lifestyle change, and research consistently shows that people achieve stronger, more sustainable results when guided by experienced medical professionals. Our program is built around clinically proven GLP-1, GLP-1/GIP, and GLP-1/GIP/Glucagon medications that support appetite regulation, improved metabolic function, and steady, manageable weight loss over time.
Personalized, Physician-Guided Weight Loss for the Malibu Community
Life in Malibu is closely tied to the coast, from morning beach walks to the trails winding through the surrounding hills. Our program is designed to help you feel strong, energized, and able to make the most of that lifestyle, with a plan shaped around your individual health profile rather than a template:
Our Approach to Medical Weight Loss
Your program begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation, followed by a personalized plan designed to support sustainable change. That plan combines:
Beyond the number on the scale, this approach supports metabolic health, lowers obesity-related risks, and improves energy and mental clarity. Your care team reviews your progress at each visit and adjusts your plan as your body responds, and appointments are scheduled to keep the program convenient even with the drive from the coast.
To schedule any appointment, please submit a request through our website or email us directly at frontdesk@summithealth360.com. A member of our team will contact you to confirm availability and finalize your appointment. Forms are not available online but can be sent by email upon request or completed in-office before your visit.
Take a few moments to fill out a comprehensive health questionnaire covering your medical history, current fitness level, and nutrition habits. The details you provide help us create a customized plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. This also gives our specialists insight into any specific challenges, allowing them to offer guidance that is both practical and effective.
During this session, our health experts review your questionnaire responses, discuss your health objectives, and develop a roadmap for your wellness journey. This is a collaborative effort where every question is addressed, and every concern is taken into account, ensuring a comprehensive and supportive experience.

Carrie Sadler, PA and the entire support team at Summit Health Group are awesome. In about 3 short months since starting with them, my cholesterol and triglycerides have improved, I am current with all my routine health assessments, and I have lost 20 pounds. I feel ready to conquer my next adventure!
— Charlene A.
I suffered with debilitating pain that severely limited my mobility. Every excursion outside left me physically ill and exhausted. I happened to see a sign for Dr Shani’s office on his window one day and decided to stop in. They did a consult for me and listened to my numerous issues and their team came up with a treatment plan tailored to my complex problem set. After 4 months of seeing them I went from barely being able to make a short car trip to the mall to being able to take a 4 hour flight and walk the whole trip. My progress has been absolutely astounding.

Medically supervised weight loss uses clinical evaluation, evidence-based strategies, and prescription medications to support safe, sustainable weight reduction. Losing even 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can significantly lower the risk of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Your individualized plan may include nutritional counseling, physical activity guidance, behavior modification, medical monitoring, and FDA-approved GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medications as appropriate.
Our program uses GLP-1 (Semaglutide), GLP-1/GIP (Tirzepatide), and GLP-1/GIP/Glucagon (Retatrutide). During your consultation, our clinical team determines whether these medications are appropriate for you and which option best fits your health profile and goals.
Results vary by individual, but many participants begin noticing changes, such as reduced appetite, improved energy, and early weight loss, within the first few weeks. Your care team monitors your progress and adjusts your plan as needed to keep you on track safely.
