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.

Phase 1: Reducing (16-week average*)

• Includes weekly nurse visits, blood pressure and weight checks; an EKG for every 50 pounds lost; monthly lab tests; nutrition education and monthly physician visit.

Phase 2: Adapting Phase (5-week average*), starts once goal weight is achieved.

• Grocery store foods are introduced during this phase and by the end meal replacements are eliminated.

Phase 3: Sustaining phase

• This phase is strongly encouraged and includes the S.T.A.R. (steps to avoid regain) 24-week program.
