First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, we recommend fasting for 12 hours to ensure accurate lab results. Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and any recent lab work from other providers. It's helpful to keep a three-day food diary prior to your visit so we can better understand your current eating patterns.

Come prepared to discuss your weight loss history honestly, including what has and hasn't worked for you in the past. Wear comfortable clothing as we'll be taking body measurements and conducting a physical assessment.
