How Our Personalized Weight Loss Program Works

1. Get Your Detailed Consultation

Embarking on your weight loss journey with Health Fit M.D. begins with a detailed consultation with one of our medical professionals. This initial step is crucial for understanding your unique health profile and setting a foundation for your personalized plan.

2. Advanced Body Composition Analysis

During your initial consultation, you’ll undergo an advanced body scan. This state-of-the-art technology assesses your body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass, providing precise data that guides your customized weight management strategy.

3. Metabolic Health Evaluation

To ensure a comprehensive understanding of your health, we perform a blood panel to evaluate your metabolic health. This step helps us identify any underlying issues that could affect your weight loss progress and allows us to tailor your program accordingly.

As part of your personalized plan, you will receive FDA-approved medication to aid your weight loss journey. If appropriate, our range of medications includes:

• Wegovy (semaglutide) 
• Ozempic (semaglutide)

Develop a Plan Tailored to Your Needs

1. Monthly Follow-Up Appointments

Your weight loss journey is supported by monthly follow-up appointments. These regular check-ins ensure that your plan always aligns with your progress and needs.
