New Directions Program
Our medical weight loss program is a nonsurgical option designed to restore your health and keep weight off for the long haul. You’ll meet in confidence with our medical director, Dr. Lorina Poe, who will complete a full evaluation, including a physical exam, laboratory bloodwork, EKG, body composition analysis, and resting metabolic rate analysis. We will then use this information to develop an individual health plan customized to meet your personal weight loss and fitness goals, working with your primary care physician and other medical specialists as necessary to ensure continuity of care.
The program duration is determined by weight loss goals and includes weekly weigh-ins, nutritional education and other accountability measures to prevent regain. Weight loss medications may also be prescribed.
