Medical Weight Management Consultation

The Artisan Health Clinic's Medical Weight Management Consultation provides a doctor-led entry point to sustainable weight control, addressing the complex interplay of metabolic, hormonal, lifestyle, and psychological factors that influence body weight.

The initial consultation is comprehensive by design. The treating physician takes a detailed history covering weight trajectory, previous diet and exercise interventions, sleep quality, stress levels, and any underlying conditions that may be contributing to weight gain — including hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or cortisol dysregulation.

Body composition is evaluated to distinguish fat mass from lean muscle mass, providing a more clinically meaningful baseline than BMI alone. A metabolic blood panel is ordered to identify hormonal or biochemical drivers of weight gain, and blood pressure and cardiovascular risk are assessed.
