California Trim Clinic is expanding its Teen Medical Weight Management Program to Washington State, giving families access to doctor-guided virtual care for adolescents ages 12 and older with weight-related or metabolic concerns. The expansion comes as Washington youth health data shows a modern teen-health squeeze: in 2025, only 23% of 6th graders, 30% of 8th graders, 24% of 10th graders, and 22% of 12th graders reported being physically active for at least 60 minutes every day. At the same time, 50% of 6th graders, 61% of 8th graders, 68% of 10th graders, and 72% of 12th graders reported three or more hours of screen time on an average school day. Through TeenHealthRx.com, eligible Washington families can learn about teen medical weight loss, adolescent metabolic health, parent-supported care, and personalized treatment planning designed to move families beyond generic diet advice and toward clinical support.
Westlake Village, CA (PRUnderground) July 17th, 2026
California Trim Clinic, a telemedicine clinic specializing in metabolic health and medical weight management, today announced that Dr. Lynda Szczech, MD is now licensed to prescribe in Washington State.
The expansion gives eligible Washington families access to the clinic’s Teen Medical Weight Management Program for adolescents ages 12 and older experiencing weight-related or metabolic concerns.
Families can learn more about teen-focused virtual care through TeenHealthRx.com, California Trim Clinic’s dedicated resource for adolescent medical weight loss and doctor-guided metabolic health support.
What is California Trim Clinic’s Teen Medical Weight Management Program?
California Trim Clinic’s Teen Medical Weight Management Program provides doctor-guided virtual care for adolescents ages 12 and older with weight-related or metabolic concerns.
Washington families can access medical evaluations, personalized treatment planning, parent or guardian involvement, and ongoing clinical support through secure telemedicine.
The program is designed for families looking for more than generic diet advice. Teens receive a medical review, individualized care planning, and continued support from a clinical team.
Why this expansion matters for Washington families
Washington families are navigating a teen-health landscape shaped by screens, school schedules, activity gaps, stress, food habits, and online weight-loss advice.
The 2025 Washington Healthy Youth Survey reported that daily physical activity remains limited across grades 6, 8, 10, and 12, while screen time remains high on average school days.
California Trim Clinic’s expansion into Washington State gives families access to structured virtual care that begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation instead of guesswork.
Washington teens are growing up in a screen-heavy, low-activity environment
In 2025, only 23% of Washington 6th graders, 30% of 8th graders, 24% of 10th graders, and 22% of 12th graders reported being physically active for at least 60 minutes every day.
Screen time moved in the opposite direction, with 50% of 6th graders, 61% of 8th graders, 68% of 10th graders, and 72% of 12th graders reporting three or more hours on screens on an average school day.
California Trim Clinic says those numbers show why teen weight management cannot be reduced to “eat better and move more.” Families need personalized medical support that accounts for modern teen life.
Program benefits for teens and parents
The Teen Medical Weight Management Program is built around safety, personalization, and accountability. Every teen receives care shaped around their health history, weight-related concerns, metabolic needs, and family support system.
Parents and guardians are included throughout care, helping families stay informed, involved, and aligned with the teen’s treatment plan.
For Washington families, the virtual model makes it easier to access care from home, whether they are in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellevue, Everett, Olympia, Yakima, Bellingham, or smaller communities across the state.
How the Teen Medical Weight Management Program works
Care begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation reviewed by Dr. Lynda Szczech, MD. The evaluation helps determine whether the teen may qualify for medical weight management through California Trim Clinic.
If the teen is eligible, the care plan may include personalized treatment recommendations, lifestyle guidance, follow-up support, and prescription-based options when medically justified and legally permitted.
The goal is not rapid, unsupervised weight loss. The goal is safer, doctor-guided support designed to help adolescents build healthier long-term outcomes.
Why doctor-guided teen weight loss matters
Adolescent weight management requires more care than adult wellness marketing. Teens are still growing, changing, and developing physically, emotionally, and metabolically.
That is why California Trim Clinic requires parent or guardian participation and places all treatment decisions under physician supervision.
The clinic’s approach gives families a structured alternative to social-media weight-loss trends, crash diets, shame-based advice, and programs that fail to account for a teen’s full medical picture.
Dr. Lynda Szczech, MD on the Washington expansion
“We’re excited to expand our services to Washington State and provide families with access to evidence-based medical weight management,” said Dr. Lynda Szczech, MD.
“Our goal is to help adolescents achieve healthier outcomes through personalized care, ongoing medical supervision, and treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.”
“With virtual care, families can begin the process from home while still receiving clinical oversight, medical accountability, and a care plan designed around the individual teen.”
