Our medical weight loss program welcomes adults who:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) on the upper end of normal or above (25 and more)
- Want to improve their health and obesity-related diseases

- Have tried multiple weight loss methods unsuccessfully
- Have had bariatric surgery and are struggling to keep weight off
Below are the two main steps provided in order to complete our Medical Weight Loss Programs:
Step 1: Metabolic Weight Loss Intake Assessment
Our extensive metabolic weight loss evaluation consists of:
- Height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and waist measurements
- Complete medical history review, including diets and behavioral eating issues
- Physical examination by a metabolic physician
- Prescriptions for blood work and any necessary medical tests
- Resting metabolic rate and body composition analysis
Step 2: Metabolic Weight Loss Treatment
Once the metabolic weight loss intake assessment is completed, one of our metabolic doctors will review the results with the patient. He or she will address any vitamin or mineral deficiencies, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or other breakdowns in the normal metabolic process that may be preventing successful weight loss.
Additional metabolic weight loss treatments may include:
- Lifestyle changes
- Behavioral modifications
- Medically-supervised diet
- Management of any existing medications
- Prescription weight loss medications
- Nutrition counseling and personalized eating plans
- Exercise guidelines
- Stress management
- Referrals to other specialists, if needed
