What to expect from our Medical Weight Management Program:

During your initial appointment, you will be given multiple Questionnaires to screen for lifestyle patterns, unhealthy eating habits, mental health conditions, sleep abnormalities, and physical activity readiness. At your medical interview, we will discuss your medical conditions, current medications, and all health related concerns.
The next step involves blood testing to identify and address any potential health problems that could be causing weight gain. This blood work is very comprehensive and includes chemistry, nutrient levels, and hormonal panels.
As a participant in our weight management program, you will be monitored either biweekly or monthly. On each follow up visit, we will review and discuss your progress to help you accomplish your ideal and healthy weight.
We also can prescribe safe and effective FDA-approved medications that can suppress your appetite, control symptoms of hunger, and help you feel satisfied with less food. These medications can be prescribed short or long term to achieve the desired goals faster.
Natural supplements can also be recommended to boost your energy and calorie burning capacity, and to support your overall health and wellness while you achieve your weight goals.
