During a medically supervised weight loss program at Faithfirst Health Clinic and Urgent Care, LLC, your provider weighs you and determines your body mass index (BMI). They help you create a target weight based on your height and the weight you feel most comfortable with.

They also check your vital signs, order blood tests to screen for medical problems, and complete a physical exam. They ask about your medical history and lifestyle habits, including your usual dietary intake, workouts, sleeping patterns, and stress levels.

Your weight loss program may consist of hormone therapy, weight loss medicine, and a personalized diet and exercise program tailored to your unique needs.
