First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment having fasted for 12 hours for accurate metabolic testing. Bring a list of all medications and supplements you're currently taking. It's helpful to keep a food diary for a few days before your visit so we can understand your current eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to spend about 90 minutes for your initial consultation. Don't start any new diets or supplements before your appointment, as this can affect our baseline measurements. Be honest about your eating habits and challenges - we're here to help, not judge. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations and an open mind about making lifestyle changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is metabolic testing performed?

Metabolic testing involves breathing into a specialized machine that measures your oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production. The test takes about 10-15 minutes and must be done fasting for accurate results.

What makes your program different from Weight Watchers or other commercial programs?

Our program is medically supervised and based on your individual metabolic rate rather than generic point systems. We provide one-on-one counseling and customize everything to your specific needs and health conditions.

Do I have to buy special foods or supplements?

You'll eat regular grocery store foods following your personalized meal plan. We do recommend specific nutritional supplements to support healthy weight loss, but these aren't meal replacements.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies by individual, but most clients lose 1-3 pounds per week initially. We focus on sustainable loss that can be maintained long-term rather than rapid results.

What if I have dietary restrictions or food allergies?

We can accommodate most dietary restrictions including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and diabetic diets. Your meal plan will be customized to work with your specific needs.

Is exercise required as part of the program?

While we encourage physical activity for overall health, our program focuses primarily on nutrition. We'll discuss appropriate exercise levels based on your current fitness and any physical limitations.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We provide a maintenance program to help you transition to long-term weight management. This includes ongoing support and periodic check-ins to prevent weight regain.

Can you help with medical conditions like diabetes or thyroid problems?

We work closely with clients who have medical conditions, but you'll need clearance from your doctor before starting. Our nutritionists are trained to work with various health conditions that affect weight loss.
