Our comprehensive medical weight loss approach includes personalized nutritional counseling, lifestyle coaching, and regular medical assessments. By working closely together, we aim to help you achieve a healthy weight and lifestyle, ultimately leading to better management and improvement of chronic health conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

At Centra Internal Medicine, your health is our priority, We are committed to helping you achieve lasting results and enhance your overall well-being through carefully supervised, evidence-based medical weight loss programs.

At Centra Internal Medicine, we recognize that each individual’s medical weight loss journey is unique. Our providers customize the frequency of your visits based on your personal health needs, medical condition, and specific weight loss goals. Typically, initial assessments and consultations are scheduled more frequently, often weekly or bi-weekly, to ensure your progress is closely monitored, your concerns promptly addressed, and to establish healthy lifestyle routines tailored specifically to you.

As you progress in your program, gain confidence in your nutritional choices, exercise regimen, and lifestyle adjustments, your provider visits may naturally transition to monthly or quarterly appointments.

These regular check-ins with your Centra Internal Medicine provider are essential for evaluating your progress, fine-tuning treatment plans or medications as needed, and providing continuous support and guidance. They also offer valuable opportunities to discuss any challenges you face, ensuring you receive personalized advice and motivation.

Ultimately, the providers will collaborate closely with you to determine the ideal schedule of visits, tailored precisely to your individual medical needs and weight loss objectives. Maintaining consistent communication and adherence to regular follow-up appointments is essential for achieving lasting success in your medical weight loss journey.

Lab tests and body composition scans are important components of our comprehensive patient evaluation process, tailored according to each individual’s unique health goals, medical history, and specific concerns.

Lab tests, including blood work, provide essential information about metabolic function, hormone balance, nutrient levels, liver and kidney health, cholesterol, and blood sugar control. At Centra Internal Medicine, these diagnostic tests help our providers uncover underlying health issues, monitor patient progress, and tailor treatments or lifestyle recommendations to each patient’s individual needs.

Additionally, body composition scans, including dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), or skinfold assessments, allow our providers to gain deeper insight into each patient’s muscle mass, body fat percentage, bone density, and overall physical composition. The data obtained from these scans is valuable in evaluating nutritional status, tracking the effectiveness of diet and exercise interventions, and assessing potential risks for chronic conditions such as osteoporosis or metabolic syndrome.

At Centra Internal Medicine, our healthcare providers carefully consider each patient’s age, medical history, lifestyle habits, and specific health concerns to determine whether lab tests and body composition assessments are appropriate components of their personalized evaluation plan. By incorporating these assessments when indicated, our team can create a more comprehensive and accurate picture of each patient’s overall health, enabling highly personalized recommendations and targeted clinical interventions.

Your journey with us starts with a comprehensive evaluation conducted by one of our experienced healthcare providers or dietitians. During this initial assessment, we carefully examine your current weight, body composition, medical history, and existing health conditions to create a strong foundation for your personalized weight management strategy. We also take the time to learn about your dietary preferences, eating habits, nutritional needs, physical activity levels, and overall lifestyle, ensuring your plan aligns seamlessly with your daily routine.

At Centra Internal Medicine, we believe that truly understanding your personal motivations, challenges, and goals is crucial. Whether you have specific dietary restrictions, food sensitivities, or particular health concerns such as diabetes, hypertension, or elevated cholesterol, our weight loss plans are thoughtfully designed to accommodate your unique medical needs, safely address these conditions, and enhance your overall wellness.
To support your success, we schedule regular follow-up sessions to monitor your progress, provide continuous guidance, and make necessary adjustments to your plan.
