It all starts with your first appointment. Here’s what happened during that visit.
Comprehensive Health Assessment
A physical exam and comprehensive health history review are the first steps in our weight loss program. These steps help us determine how to tailor your testing.
Advanced Body Composition Analysis
To provide an accurate starting point, we use the groundbreaking InBody scan to check:
- Visceral Fat: Fat deeper within the belly area
- Body Fat: Total body fat and fat by area
- Lean Muscle Mass: In total and by area of the body
- Hydration: Water content
The InBody scan gives us a plethora of metrics that we can use to pinpoint problem areas and help you plan for improvements. The scan takes just 45 seconds and is completely painless.
Personalized Lab Testing
Your lab testing depends on your body’s unique needs and general health. We offer blood, urine, stool, saliva, and breath tests. Some of the important tests for weight management are:
- Metabolic Panels: Checks blood chemicals to evaluate kidney and liver function and electrolyte levels
- Hormone Testing: Checks cortisol, insulin, testosterone, estrogen, and other hormone levels that can influence weight.
- Nutritional Assessments: Checks vitamin, mineral, and nutrient levels
- Complete Blood Count: Measures the cell types and quantities in your blood
We may recommend different or additional testing based on your unique needs.
Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram tests your heart’s electrical activity and can help identify artery blockages, heart rhythm problems, enlarged heart, past heart attacks, and other problems. People who struggle with their weight have a higher risk of heart problems, but detecting those things early can help you take control and avoid a crisis later.

After gathering all the necessary information, we develop a customized plan for your goals. We offer a broad range of weight management options to help your body heal as you drop the extra pounds. With customized diet plans, exercise guidance, and weight loss medications available, we support your success in every way possible.
