Semaglutide

In an early study of 2,000 obese adults compared people using semaglutide plus a diet and exercise program with people who made the same lifestyle changes without semaglutide. After 68 weeks, half of the participants using semaglutide lost 15% of their body weight, and nearly a third lost 20%.

Follow our personalized program to achieve the most Fat loss using safe and effective medications and Program therapies

Schedule of health coach visits for 12-week program (8 visits)

Visit 1

Discussion of body composition and patient goals.

Encourage patient to come to the office for bi-weekly visits if geographically feasible. Discuss role of Lumen device in terms of metabolism tracking.

Action: Advise patient to keep food diary for next week and to use the Lumen device daily.

Visit 2

Discuss food diary and make appropriate suggestions for improvement

Focusing on total caloric intake and healthy eating. Go deep here as much as time allows. Have to set the foundation for healthy eating. Explain that we do not recommend "dieting". Goal is to change our eating to a healthy eating that can be maintained well after program is over.

Action: Ask patient to keep diary of exercise for next week. If possible suggest they get an activity tracker for more accurate tracking.

Visit 3

Discuss exercise pattern from prior week and make appropriate recommendations.

Focus on anaerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes 4-5 times per week. Aerobic should be on top of this but if they only have time for one or the other, then advise anaerobic.

Action: Advise patient to get new body composition prior to next week's visit.

Visit 4

Discuss progress/lack of progress vs week 1 baseline if we have a new body composition.

Keep in mind that they are in the building stage of the medication, so we are not expecting a lot of fat loss at this point. 3-4 lbs of fat loss in the first month would be considered a success. Many patients with 75-100 lbs to lose report losing up to 25 lbs in first month. Ascertain if patient has been compliant with dietary and exercise recommendations and medication adherence.

Action: If there has been no fat loss or even fat gain, then need to discuss the case with medical director for possible additional interventions. Advise patient to track sleep for next week preferably with sleep tracking device but if not, then just manual tracking (time to bed, time waking up, how many times did they awake for the night, sleep hygiene questions.)

Medical Director Visit

Last updated Nov. 5.

October Openings

A West Coast-inspired spot that’s part curated bookstore and part cafe opened Oct. 29 in National Landing. On the menu, find sandwiches such as the heirloom tomato and silky egg, smoothies such as the Cold Brew Matcha and Super Green, and bowls like the Beet & Apple, with roasted red beets, Pink Lady apples, avocado and more. Pastries and grab-and-go cups of yoguer and overnight oats are also available. 550 Crystal Drive, Arlington (National Landing)

As of Oct. 18, Crystal City’s Restaurant Row has a new Korean barbecue joint. Watch your meat, such as wagyu or garlic pork belly, cook on an in-table grill while you enjoy an appetizer of corn cheese or fried oysters. Rice and noodle dishes are on the menu, too, in addition to desserts such as sweet red bean taiyaki and green tea mochi ice cream. 420 23rd St. S, Arlington (Crystal City)

Falls Church now has a location of the fast-growing fast-casual restaurant known for made-to-order stir-fry, salads and desserty honeybars. When it opened Oct. 17 in Barcroft Plaza, it joined six other Virginia locations, including one in Tysons Corner (8399 Leesburg Pike, Vienna) 6464 Lincolnia Road, Falls Church

This growing chain of scoop shops is adding to its collection of storefronts in Arlington, opening in the Clarendon spot that Nicecream occupied for 11 years. (It closed in August.) On opening day—Oct. 17—customers can get $1 scoops from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Like its sister spot in National Landing (269 19th Court, S., Arlington), this location will sell flavors such as Strawberry Matcha Latte and Marionberry Cheesecake. Vegan options include Cookies & Cream Caramel Swirl and Peanut Butter Brownie Honeycomb. 2831 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington (Clarendon)

To open its first free-standing location, this fast-casual falafel joint chose National Landing. The doors opened Oct. 16. The menu is simple: pita sandwiches and bowls, each of which you can customize with sauces such as the signature Habibi, garlic, spicy Invisible and more. Pair your pick with a side of za’atar fries or tabouli salad. Nothing on the menu is more than $6, and the restaurant donates a portion of its proceeds to the World Food Programme to help refugees. 500 23rd St., S., Arlington (National Landing)

As of Oct. 15, Falls Church now has a location of this fast-expanding chain. Founded by a self-taught chef, the restaurant serves breakfast dishes, shakshuka, tartines and salads. Try the lamb kebab pita or short rib grilled cheese sandwich. For something more entrée-like, opt for the Roasted Salmon Winter Vegetable Rice Bowl. Wash down your meal with a Tahini Pumpkin Oat Milk Latte. Find other local locations in Clarendon (2805 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington) and National Landing (269 19th Court S., Arlington). 1001 W. Broad St., Falls Church

September Openings

This woman-owned bakery opened its second DMV location on Sept. 21. (The first is at North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose.) Serving all-day breakfast and lunch items such as breakfast sandwiches and a BLT on fresh, made-in-house breads the restaurant also has seasonal goods and special-occasion cakes. In addition to pouring coffee and tea, it has cocktails and mocktails on weekends, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. 1796 Chain Bridge Road, McLean

Replacing Kirby Club at Mosaic District, this spot that opened Sept. 20 says it is a “Mediterranean love letter from Beirut to D.C.” The menu features pan-seared halloumi, spreads such as hummus and tzatziki, meat and veggie kabobs, and entrees like branzino with cous cous. The new owner, Tariq Alaeddin, was a longtime Kirby Club team member, so some menu items will look the same, such as its signature havuc dip. 2911 District Ave., Fairfax (Mosaic District)

Short for “bodacious experience,” this new bar brings a taste of Nashville to Clarendon, complete with a mechanical bull. On the menu are country-style dishes such as the BOE Biscuit with hot honey butter fried chicken and signature cocktails like the aptly named Bucking Bronco, a twist on a whiskey sour; a hard lemonade. For a change of scenery, skip up to BOE’s Tiki Bar, a rooftop space with a tropical-meets-country vibe. There, guests can share the Pink Flamingo Bucket, a combo of Malibu Coconut Rum, pineapple, mango, cranberry juice, passionfruit, fresh lime, and lemon-lime soda, served over crushed ice in a fresh pineapple. The bar had its soft opening Sept. 19 and will celebrate its grand opening Sept. 25. 2854 Wilson Blvd., Arlington (Clarendon)

Celeb chef Spike Mendelsohn launched this new online-only plant-based taqueria Sept. 16. Available only through UberEats, DoorDash, Grubhub and the T@KO app, the food includes tacos, taquitos, burritos and bowls. There’s the Chimi Supreme Taco with Beyond Steak tips, Tropicauli Pastor (crispy cauliflower in sweet-smoky al pastor, topped with mango salsa and pickled red onion) and Jalapeño Taquito, which is stuffed with cheddar, mozzarella and jalapeños. Prefer to pick up your order? Get it locally from Tysons Corner Whole Foods (1635 Boro Place, McLean).

A family-owned restaurant with three locations in Maryland opened Sept. 8 in Falls Church. The raw bar menu features Oysters Annapolis (four baked oysters with crab and panko crust), chilled snow crab clusters and shrimp cocktail. Meat lovers will be glad to know they can get ribeyes, prime rib and filet mignon. For something more casual, there are burgers, crab cake sandwiches and eight salads with nine house-made dressings. If you need a drink to accompany your meal, the cocktail menu has plenty of options, such as the Haven & Hell (coconut rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, habeñero simple syrup and a jalapeño garnish) and the Sea Cucumber Martini (gin, muddled cucumber and lime, sour mix, and a fresh cucumber slice). 510 S. Washington St., Falls Church

Whole foods are the focus of this nationwide chain, which opened a spot in National Landing on Sept. 6. The fast-casual spot serves gourmet toast topped with avocado, spicy crab or honey-roasted peanut butter, fruit, and granola. Or try a smoothie bowl. The Dragonberry Bowl is packed with a blend of pitaya, mango, agave, strawberry and coconut water topped with fresh strawberries, kiwi, coconut, goji berries, granola and honey. The drink menu includes coffees and Iced Collagen Lattes made with collagen, beets, matcha, turmeric and blueberry lavender. 244 19th Court S., Arlington (National Landing)

Step into a Spanish culinary journey at this new Westpost eatery that opened Sept. 5. It’s the second location for executive chef George Rodrigues, who opened the first in 2023 in Rockville, Maryland. It’s easy to try lots of dishes because tapas are designed to be snack-sized. Get veggie-based ones such as mushroom croquettes or fried shishito peppers, meaty ones such as St. Louis pork ribs in a cider glaze, and seafood-centric choices such as mussels and chorizo in white white. The restaurant also serves five kinds of paella, a Spanish staple. To wash it all down, there is, of course, sangria, plus a Hibiscus Margarita and the Pineapple Smoke (smoked mezcal, tequila, agave, jalapeños and pineapple juice). Stop in on the weekend for brunch. 1301 S. Joyce St., Arlington (Westpost)

Initially aiming for a spring opening, this Filipino eatery from chef Javier Fernandez finally opened its doors Sept. 1. It specializes in breakfast sandwiches made with pan de sal buns from Gwenie’s Pastries, a bakery owned by Fernandez’s sister and mother, which is also opening a storefront in the neighborhood. The buns come stuffed with corned beef, sweet pork chorizo, turkey bacon and more. 550 14th St., Arlington (National Landing)

Closing

After almost 20 years, this wine bar and bistro will close Nov. 9. 4301 Wilson Blvd., Arlington (Ballston)

The Little City has big flavors, and so does Arlington, according to one recent list of Northern Virginia’s best restaurants.

Twelve restaurants in Falls Church and Arlington made Northern Virginia Magazine’s list of The 50 Best Restaurants in Northern Virginia for 2025 — including three establishments in the top 10.

Yume Sushi, a Japanese restaurant in East Falls Church, claimed the No. 3 spot on the list, which was decided by the publication’s three food critics. The magazine described the creativity of chef Saran Kannasute resulting in a menu that “reads like a love letter to excess in the best way.”

“The space fills fast, the service is gracious, and the whole experience feels like a quiet flex,” the list said. “Come hungry, leave enchanted — and possibly a little spoiled for sushi anywhere else.”

Still in the top 10, Seoul Prime, a Korean steakhouse in Falls Church, came in at No. 5.

“The team behind Honest Grill kicks the Korean steakhouse concept up several notches with original creations that taste every bit as fantastic as they sound,” the list reads.

Virginia Square’s Carbonara, which received a recent visit from former President Joe Biden, landed at the No. 8 spot.

“This is one Italian destination where it’s best to keep an open mind and choose the chef’s latest edible innovation,” the list said.

The list did not rank eateries outside the top 10, but a map of all the Arlington and Falls Church restaurants is below.

The magazine’s critics appear to hold different opinions from departing Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsema, whose Top 40 restaurants across D.C, Maryland and Virginia featured only two Arlington eateries.

Ruthie’s All-Day made it on both lists, but Greek eatery Our Mom Eugenia in Shirlington — which Sietsema noted as one of the spots he lands “most frequently” — did not.

“Mom’s everywhere/every day approach contributes to food that oozes comfort,” Sietsema wrote.

Sietsema’s list also included two Falls Church eateries, though only one was featured on NoVA Magazine’s list.

Nue: Elegantly Vietnamese, in Falls Church, also drew acclaim from Sietsema, while the veteran critic additionally highlighted Banh Mi Oi, which opened in Eden Center earlier this year.

“It’s easy to pinpoint among the many Vietnamese options at Eden Center,” Sietsema wrote. “There’s probably a line in front of Bánh Mì Oi.”

Assistance League Will Again Be Part of Giving Tuesday To Help Children In Need

Giving Tuesday is a global campaign that encourages people to be generous & give back any way they can, be it by donations, volunteering, or other acts of kindness. It occurs on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and serves as a counterpoint to consumer-focused events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year, Giving Tuesday is December 2. Across the country, a growing number of parents, children, and seniors are facing serious hardships. Please be generous & support nonprofit organizations that help counter those issues.

Assistance League of Northern Virginia (ALNV) will participate in that campaign and it is counting on your generosity to continue serving those who are struggling every day. Assistance League’s primary focus is elementary school students and it takes a holistic approach to ensure they have the essentials they need to feel confident in school and to build successful lives after graduation. ALNV delivers basics such as food, clothing, books, literacy support, and hygiene kits to help provide confidence.

Families everywhere are facing significant economic hardship, even in affluent Northern Virginia. Poverty and food insecurity affect more families every month. ALNV’s goals are lofty but the reality is stark. The number of students who need help continues to rise, as does the cost of delivering those essentials to them. That’s why ALNV asks you to be as generous as you can this year. Another impactful way you can help is by pledging a donation for donor matching. That way, your generosity will encourage others to donate too and double your impact.

ALNV’s Giving Tuesday campaign opens on Tuesday, November 19, and ends on December 2. Please contact ResDev@ALNV.org if you are interested in being a donor match.

Arlington County health inspectors found violations at 23 of the food establishments they visited between Oct. 1 and 6.

ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington County health inspectors found violations at 23 of the food establishments they visited Oct. 1 through Oct. 6, including a coffee bar that was selling baked goods from a unapproved food supplier.

During an Oct. 2 visit to WAS16 Coffee Bar at 1770 Crystal Drive, an inspector found ham and cheese croissants from Pluma by Bluebird Bakery in Washington, D.C., which doesn't have a wholesale license allowing it to sell to retail food establishments. As such, the bakery was not an approved food source for food retailers in Arlington.

"Food shall be obtained from sources that comply with law," the inspector said, in their report. "Discard these food items and don't accept food from this supplier until they can provide a wholesale licensure."

On the same day, an inspector who visited Chill Zone at 2442 North Harrison St. found cooked shimp that wasn't properly "chilled." The shrimp was being kept in a one-door prep unit in the kitchen at 60 degrees, which was warmer than the proper cold holding temperature of 41 degrees or below.

The shrimp were discarded and the inspector warned the restaurant to ensure that all temperature controlled foods are held at 41 degrees or below.

Inspectors found health code violations are the following restaurants they visited Oct. 1 through Oct. 8.
