COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC ASSESSMENT
“Your required first step before selecting a metabolic health program
Your Comprehensive Metabolic Assessment is the required first step for all new metabolic health patients at Obsidian Integrative Health & Wellness. This visit is designed to help us understand your full metabolic picture before recommending a program, treatment plan, testing, or medication support. We look beyond weight alone and review the factors that may influence metabolic health, including health history, symptoms, labs, medications, nutrition patterns, movement, sleep, stress, family history, and long-term cardiometabolic risk.
WHY THIS VISIT MATTERS
Metabolic health is influenced by many factors, including lifestyle habits, sleep, medications, health conditions, family history, and genetics. This assessment helps us better understand what may be affecting your health and what type of support may make the most sense for your goals.
What to Expect at Your Comprehensive Metabolic Assessment
During this visit, we review your health history, current concerns, medications, symptoms, lifestyle patterns, metabolic risk factors, and goals. We also discuss whether labs, body composition testing, resting metabolic rate testing, lifestyle support, or medication evaluation may be appropriate as part of your care plan.
What We Review
During your assessment, we may review:
- Weight history and prior weight-loss attempts
- Current symptoms and metabolic concerns
- Appetite, cravings, and satiety patterns
- Nutrition habits and lifestyle routines
- Sleep, stress, and recovery patterns
- Movement capacity, pain barriers, and activity level
- Current and past medications
- Family history and cardiometabolic risk factors
- Prior labs, if available
- Whether additional labs, DEXA body composition testing, or Resting Metabolic Rate testing may be appropriate
What May Be Recommended After Your Assessment
After your visit, we recommend the next best step based on your history, goals, risks, and clinical needs. This may include:
- Metabolic Care Membership
- 12-Week Metabolic Reset
- 6-Month Metabolic Transformation
- Additional lab testing, when appropriate
- Body composition or resting metabolic rate testing, when appropriate
- Lifestyle and nutrition planning
- Medication evaluation and support, when clinically appropriate
- Coordination with your primary care provider or specialist when needed
Body composition and resting metabolic rate testing may be available through partner testing locations when appropriate. These tools can provide additional insight into body composition, metabolic patterns, and care planning.
What This Visit Is Not
This is not a rushed weight-loss visit, and it is not a guarantee that medication will be prescribed. Medication options are discussed only when clinically appropriate and based on your medical history, lab findings, risks, contraindications, goals, medication availability, and individualized clinical need.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
By the end of your assessment, our goal is for you to leave with:
- A clearer understanding of your metabolic health
- Insight into what may be contributing to your concerns
- Recommended next steps
- A plan for labs, testing, programs, or follow-up if appropriate
- A better sense of whether Obsidian’s care model is the right fit
Your plan should not start with guessing
At Obsidian, we begin with a deeper look at your history, symptoms, labs, lifestyle patterns, and goals so your care plan can be thoughtful, realistic, and clinically appropriate.
