W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep and Medspa was founded by an internal medicine and sleep medicine physician, Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD in suburban Philadelphia in late 2010. While working part-time in an internal medicine practice and performing disability physical exams, Dr. Tumpati found that many disability applicants had underlying weight and sleep-related issues in addition to musculoskeletal problems and depression. On one occasion, the physician saw an overweight African American woman who had symptoms of sleep apnea, such as loud snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, and waking up choking occasionally. After conducting a sleep study, Dr. Tumpati determined that the patient had a severe case of sleep apnea and recommended CPAP treatment. Recognizing that the patient's underlying weight issue was a risk factor for sleep apnea, the physician offered weight loss advice, which involved eating less and exercising more. However, this advice did not result in meaningful weight loss. | W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep and Medspa was founded by an internal medicine and sleep medicine physician, Dr. Prab R.
