HOW IT WORKS
Step 1: Consultation – Meet with Dr. Salimah Jones, NP, and weight loss expert for your initial consultation. This is where the magic happens. We do a deep dive to discover the biological, hormonal, medical, behavioral, and metabolic challenges that are contributing to your weight issues and what’s hindering your long-term success. Dr. Jones will conduct a thorough evaluation, discuss recommendations and options, and review our program. If you decide to move forward with treatment most people can begin their plan on the same day.
Step 2: Testing – Most people choose to have our comprehensive functional lab panel which does a deep dive into your body and metabolism looking for those hidden sabotages often not tested for in a general physical. This includes things like hormone imbalance, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, food sensitivity testing, inflammation, and a deep thyroid panel. Results of this panel are discussed on the second visit and any findings are incorporated into the holistic plan of care. Patients who omit the functional lab panel must provide copies of labs from a physical that are no more than 1 year old.
Step 3: Begin Treatment – You will meet with our provider or nurse at least once per month to assess progress, have your treatment plan adjusted if needed, and receive the appropriate prescriptions and health coaching. Appointments are conducted in our Gallatin Weight Loss Clinic or can be conducted virtually. For those who desire more support and accountability, we offer biweekly and weekly visits.
