Virtual appointments available. Get personalized coaching on your weight loss journey with Momentum Medical.
Virtual or in-person appointments available. After your appointment is made, we will email you a lab order and registration form to complete prior to your appointment.
We will check your blood sugar levels, blood count, kidney function, liver function and thyroid level (CBC, CMP and TSH). You have the option of having these drawn in-office, by your primary care physician (fax, email or bring us a copy of the results if they are not older than 30 days), or by using our lab order at your preferred laboratory.
Our medical team will check your height, weight, body mass index (BMI), heart rate, and blood pressure. You’ll also have an EKG to measure your heart’s electrical activity. Your provider will perform a physical exam to assess your heart, lungs, and overall health. They will also consider factors like your motivation, stress levels, and any obstacles that might affect your weight loss journey.
After your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed weight loss evaluation and a personalized plan. Your provider will discuss your weight loss goals, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes to create a plan that works best for you. If you qualify, you may be prescribed FDA-approved appetite suppressants to support your weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. If needed, a vitamin B12 injection may be given to boost your energy and improve your overall nutrition.
Monthly 15-minute follow-up appointments are required for status updates, weight and vital checks, new prescriptions, and medication/weight loss plan adjustments. These may be virtual or in-person appointments at any Momentum Medical location.

Both Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Fat Percentage (BFP) can help you evaluate your health, but they measure different aspects:
BMI is a quick calculation using height and weight. It helps identify if you’re underweight, within a healthy range, overweight, or obese. However, BMI doesn’t separate fat from muscle or bone, which can make it less precise for athletes or people with higher muscle mass.
BFP provides deeper insight by estimating how much of your body is fat compared to lean tissue (muscle, bone, organs, and fluids). This makes it a more detailed measure of body composition and overall health.
Our calculator factors in age, gender, height, and weight to give you both BMI and BFP results, offering a more complete picture than BMI alone.
Age and Body Fat
As we get older, normal body fat ranges shift upward, meaning what’s considered “healthy” in your 20s may look different in your 50s.
Accuracy of Data
The reliability of your BMI and body fat results depends on entering accurate information such as height, weight, and age.
Limits of Online Tools
While online calculators can be helpful starting points, they only provide estimates. For the most accurate assessment, advanced testing methods—like DXA scans or professional body composition analysis—are recommended.
At Momentum Medical, we don’t just provide numbers—we provide solutions. Our physician-guided weight management programs combine BMI and BFP analysis with customized care to help you reach and sustain your healthiest weight safely and effectively.
