When you start a medical weight loss program at Karma Wellness Center, you undergo a health evaluation. This consists of a comprehensive physical assessment to gauge your current state of health and look for any underlying health problems.
Your provider might want to check your heart health using an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and run blood tests, including:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Metabolic p
- Thyroid function
- Blood sugar levels
Problems with your thyroid and conditions like diabetes can affect your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight. It’s important, therefore, to treat such conditions to enable you to lose weight successfully.
