What to expect
Functional Weight Loss Evaluation
At our weight loss center, we take a functional approach to weight loss. During your initial face-to-face consultation, we will review your medical history so we can determine the best weight loss plan, whether that plan ultimately involves using only lifestyle and supplements, or prescribed oral and injected options.
The initial consult is done either on-site or on the telephone.
The purpose is to see if we are a good fit for one another and if we can help you. If we agree to continue we will develop a working plan and provide you an estimate of the time necessary to reach your goal. You will be presented with tailored options for moving forward.
After your consultation, we perform a basic examination, taking note of your current weight, blood pressure and pulse. You may also have your thyroid, heart and lungs examined depending on how healthy you are and your current age.
The information gleaned from your medical history and physical examination is used to determine whether or not you need further testing to choose the best weight loss plan.
Thyroid testing may be done to see if your thyroid is over or under active. If you have a history of heart disease or a family history of cardiac disease, you may undergo an EKG. We also test female and male hormone levels if needed. Depending on your described level of health other test may be ordered, like test for exposure to toxins, mold or tick borne diseases.
Once your initial evaluation is complete, we’ll develop the best clinical weight loss plan.
If you need to lose weight rapidly, we may suggest the “Speed Way Program”, which involves medically prescribed injections. Before prescribing injections or any other medication, we will educate you on the risks and benefits of using them. Whether you follow our system or other methods, you’ll receive regular counseling, both during the weight loss phase and afterwards, to help you keep the weight off.
