What should I expect during my weight loss sessions?

Any time you have a body mass index (BMI) that’s higher than normal, you’re a candidate for medical weight loss at Your Wellness Sources. 

Your specialist reviews your medical history, lifestyle habits, and dietary habits. They also weigh you, assess your body mass index (BMI), and analyze your body composition using an InBody® 570 analyzer. 

The analyzer quickly measures fat mass, muscle mass, and body water percentage using auto-calibrated, user-friendly, and noninvasive technology. You simply stand on the device and hold the hand electrodes. 

Your provider also checks your vital signs, completes a physical exam, and may recommend blood tests, electrocardiograms (EKGs), or other diagnostic tests.

They customize a nutrition plan, exercise program, dietary supplement regimen, or prescription medication plan that offers exceptional and long-lasting weight-loss results. Follow up with your weight loss specialist periodically so they make changes to your treatment plan, if needed.

How much weight can I lose?

The amount of weight you can expect to lose during a medically supervised weight loss program depends on your goals and how well you adhere to the program. Many people lose up to 1-5 pounds per week, at least initially, and significantly reduce body fat.
