Medical Weight Loss
At Track Your Max, we measure so that we can improve. A transparent view into our patient’s metabolism, hormones, and biochemistry gives us the ability to hyper-personalize our medically supervised weight loss program to you!
What Sets Our Medical Weight Loss Program Apart?
Patients come to us often after having tried many things unsuccessfully – it is difficult without the right data and guidance to lose weight sustainably. Our program combines medication, nutrition and exercise with ongoing monitoring to help you succeed!
Step 1: Metabolism Baselining
The first step to our personalized weight loss program is to conduct a few diagnostic tests to establish your baseline metabolism (RMR test, Body Composition Analysis) and to assess appropriateness of FDA-approved weight loss medications.
The first step to our hyper-personalized weight loss program is to gather a number of data points on your body.
This includes:
Resting Metabolism Rate (RMR) test:
- This allows us to know how many calories you are burning at rest – an important input into your nutrition and activity plan.
Body Composition Analysis:
- This will give us an inside look into your body fat % – this is the indicator we will be tracking on an ongoing basis as a better indicator of success beyond the weighing scale.
Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM):
- The physician will evaluate you and if indicated, we will put a CGM on you in office and then set up an appointment after 14 days. During these 14 days, you will be asked to maintain a food dairy – tracking what you are eating and when. This will allow us to understand what your body is able to metabolize well versus what is causing a blood sugar spike.
Hormone Testing:
- Thyroid test: This will rule out hormone imbalance as an underlying cause of weight gain that needs to be addressed through medication.
BIOCHEMISTRY TESTING:
- Cholesterol Test, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, HbA1c Test: These tests will baseline your internal biomarkers at the beginning of the program as well as assess appropriateness for prescription medications.
Step 2: Detailed physician consult and planning
In this step, the physician conduct a detailed evaluation (including reviewing baselining results). The physician will then create a personalized plan with you with three components:
Medications:
- If indicated, you will be prescribed weight loss medication to help you sustainably lose weight. Frequently used medications (if clinically indicated) include GLP-1 agonists such as semiglutide (Wegovy) or liraglutide (Saxenda), as well as other medications such as phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia). Ozempic or Mounjaro are also used in case of diabetes as an additional diagnosis.
NUTRITION:
- The provider will discuss practical steps with you on improving quality of your nutrition. This is NOT a diet – diets by their very nature are temporary and unsustainable. Instead, you will be provided with an easy-to-understand and practical framework to make healthier decisions.
Activity:
- Based on your current activity levels, your physician will provide you with specific next steps that can work well with your nutrition changes and medications
Step 3: Physician Follow-up
Once you are on the program, you will check in with your physician to see if any adjustments in medication is needed. This is done typically after 3 weeks but may differ based on medications prescribed.
Step 4: Ongoing Program Participation
You will follow a cadence decided between you and your physician to track your progress and make any adjustments to your plan and prescription medications based on the results you are seeing.
The frequency of your visits are personalized based on your results; we will need to see you more often to make adjustments if weight loss is not going according to plan.
