Lab Work & Health Screenings for Weight Management

Lab Work & Health Screenings for Weight Management

At Medical Art Center, we believe that safe and effective weight loss begins with a complete understanding of your health. That’s why every patient in our weight management program undergoes comprehensive lab work and health screenings. These evaluations allow us to identify underlying conditions, create personalized treatment plans, and ensure your progress is monitored safely.

Why Lab Work Matters in Weight Management


Weight gain and difficulty losing weight are often linked to hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, or chronic conditions. Lab testing helps uncover these hidden factors so we can address the root causes, not just the symptoms.

What We Screen For

Our lab and health screenings may include:

  • Blood sugar & A1C → to assess prediabetes and diabetes risk
  • Cholesterol & lipid panel → to evaluate heart health
  • Thyroid function tests → to detect thyroid-related weight changes
  • Liver and kidney function → to ensure safe use of weight loss medications and meal programs
  • Hormone levels (e.g., insulin, cortisol, reproductive hormones) → to identify imbalances affecting weight
  • Vitamin & nutrient levels → to correct deficiencies that may impact metabolism and energy

Ongoing Progress Monitoring


Lab work is just the beginning — we also provide regular check-ins and progress tracking throughout your program. This may include reviewing body composition results, monitoring changes in health markers, and adjusting your treatment plan as needed. By combining lab data with real-world progress, we help you stay safe, motivated, and on track toward lasting results.

A Personalized Approach

Every patient’s results are carefully reviewed by our providers, who then design a customized weight management plan that fits your unique needs. With lab-guided care and ongoing monitoring, you can feel confident knowing your program is safe, targeted, and based on your personal health profile.
