At Elite Medical and Longevity Center, we approach weight loss holistically by using a comprehensive medical check up, diet, exercise and medication when suitable. During your office exam, a full health history is taken including past medical conditions, your weight history, past weight-loss efforts, exercise habits, eating patterns, current medications, and your family’s health history. Then you will undergo a physical exam which includes measuring your vital signs and BMI (Body Mass Index) to determine your level of obesity.
Lastly, you will have a comprehensive blood tests including cholesterol test, liver function tests, fasting glucose, a thyroid test, women's hormone level, testosterone level (in men), and vitamin levels. You may also have an EKG during your initial visit.
