Our approach

Jermen’s Weight Loss Clinic is operated by a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and supervised by a physician (MD) as the medical director. The weight loss plan is unique and specific per patient and it is tailored with each person’s health, illnesses, and medication history in mind. The initial assessment includes a physical examination in addition to a body fat calculation using Body Metrix ultrasound machine. The ultrasound machine calculates the body fat composition of the patient, in addition to calculating the basal metabolic rate of the patient in calories (how many calories your body burns in a day). Diet planning is unique to the patient according to his or her health status, work, and daily routine. It is a combination of calories and carbohydrates management that is adjusted to achieve the goal desired by the patient. Intermittent fasting is also a desired achievement that we promote in the clinic for improved health and maintenance of the lost excess weight. Pharmacological assistance to improve weight loss is also available and will be used if desired by the patient, to boost outcomes. The comprehensive weight loss plans that are offered, are a combination of Medications, Diet, and Exercise. The provider will make follow-up appointments to track your physical changes and modify the treatment plan (medications, diet, and activity level) according to your specific health needs and changes.
