Embarking on a weight loss journey can be daunting. At Moore Weight Loss Clinic, we aim to simplify the process, starting with clear eligibility guidelines and a straightforward program overview. This guide clarifies the requirements for Dr. Collado's weight loss program, offering both in-person and virtual options.
Understanding Eligibility at Moore Weight Loss Clinic
Before beginning, understanding our eligibility criteria is crucial. These guidelines ensure the program aligns with your individual needs and health profile for optimal support and care.
Key Eligibility Factors
Several factors determine eligibility:
- Body Mass Index (BMI): Generally, a BMI of 27 or higher is required. This isn't absolute; individual assessments determine suitability during the consultation. A higher BMI often indicates a greater need for structured weight management support.
- Age: The program currently focuses on adults under 65. This age range allows for tailored support based on the specific needs of this demographic. Exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Pre-existing Conditions: Certain health conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke history, seizures, or central nervous system disorders, may influence eligibility. These conditions don't automatically disqualify but might require closer monitoring or program adjustments.
- Medications: Some medications can negatively interact with the program. Examples include stimulants, Wellbutrin, Contrave, Trintellix, and Brintellix. If you’re taking any of these, a thorough discussion during your consultation is essential.
- Other Exclusions: Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with compromised liver or kidney function, or those with a history of substance abuse are not eligible. These restrictions prioritize safety.
Are you wondering, "What are my chances of qualifying?" The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation.
Your Step-by-Step Journey with Moore Weight Loss Clinic
The program is designed with clear, manageable steps:
- Initial Consultation: Begin with a consultation—in-person or virtual—to discuss your health history, weight loss goals, and any concerns. This determines program suitability. This initial step is crucial for understanding the program and assessing your suitability.
- Identification Verification: Provide a valid photo ID to ensure safety and accurate record-keeping. This is a standard procedure for all participants.
- Vital Signs Check: Weight, blood pressure, and pulse are recorded to track progress. This initial baseline is essential for monitoring your progress effectively. A regular schedule of vital signs recording will assist in measuring success.
- Prescription Fulfillment: Prescriptions are managed through the clinic and dispensed via partner pharmacies. Please note that Walmart, Sam's Club, CVS, and Target are currently not among these partners. We'll clarify options during your consultation. Knowing this ahead of time will streamline the process significantly.
- Payment Options: Convenient payment methods, including debit and credit cards via Square, are accepted. Payment plans might be discussed during your initial consultation. Payment arrangements will ensure your comfort and convenience.
- Ongoing Support & Follow-Up: Regular virtual check-ins provide ongoing support, answer questions, and monitor progress. This continuous support will help you stay motivated and confident. This commitment to ongoing support distinguishes our approach.
