During your initial consultation, we conduct a thorough weight-centered history and physical exam including a blood pressure check, EKG, HT, body composition analysis. We take into account your family history, chronic diseases you may have and current medications or supplements you take. Because we are a medical office, we can offer alternatives to any medications which may be hindering your weight loss, and create a plan that includes chronic disease prevention for your specific disease or family history.
We also discuss your desire or need for prescription FDA-approved appetite suppressants and determine whether you are a good candidate for this type of medication. While appetite suppressants can help curb cravings, they are not a mandatory component of our program.
