DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM:
The weight management program at Endocrine & Diabetes Center is different from many commercial weight loss programs that promote and sell nutritional products. We are specialized in managing metabolic disorders. We emphasize good clinical care, metabolic evaluation, correction/management of the underlying metabolic dysfunction, and strategies for successful long-term weight management. Our approach is highly tailored to each unique individual patient and clinical situation. The program is composed of the following:
- Initial clinical evaluation including a complete history and physical examination.
- Laboratory testing
- EKG (if needed)
- Nutritional evaluation and nutrition coaching.
- Body composition analysis and follow-up testing
- Behavior modification therapy
- Exercise guidance
- Prescription medications as clinically appropriate
- Follow up visits at regular intervals.
