Why we do what we do.
Labs
Labs are a critical part of starting this diet. It’s our way of understanding what’s going on inside your body, making sure your organs are healthy and your essential vitamin and insulin levels are correct. It also helps us determine whether you are a viable candidate for weight loss medications. If you have had recent lab work from another provider, bringing those to your appointment can help our providers understand your body more!
Body Composition Analysis
Using an Inbody machine, we are able to perform a complete body composition analysis that tells us your basal metabolic rate, percent of body fat, hydration status, muscle mass and a lot of other details. It’s more valuable and important than a mere number on a scale.
Pictures
We like to keep pictures of our patients' weight loss in their charts! Trust us, you’re going to revel in your before and after!
