What is Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss is the management of diet, healthy behaviors, and physical activity monitored by a physician. Medical providers give the treatment and guidance necessary to help you achieve weight loss and maintain it for life. The medical weight loss programs at Healthy Habits include comprehensive metabolic testing and medical diagnostics to monitor patients during their individualized plan.
Our medical weight loss programs are completely customized to your individual needs, fitting your lifestyle and ensuring your success. We understand that one size doesn't fit all, so whether you are looking for fast or steady weight loss, we have a plan for you.

What to Expect
During your initial consultation, we will review your medical history so we can determine the best weight loss plan for you.
After your consultation, we perform a basic examination, taking note of your current weight, blood pressure and pulse. Our medical provider may also examine your thyroid, heart and lungs.
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.

Lifestyle Medical Weight Loss Programs
Our lifestyle and wellness coaching services support long-term weight loss success. By proactively addressing and correcting unhealthy eating habits, we can help make your weight loss permanent. There are no calories to count or complicated meal plans to follow. Instead, we teach our patients to make smart food choices, cut out hidden sources of added sugars and fats, and embrace whole foods.
