BMI Calculator
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a simple screening tool that estimates whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height. It can be useful for spotting possible weight-related health risks, but it does not directly measure body fat or overall health.
Your BMI
—
- Underweight< 18.5
- Healthy Weight18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight25 – 29.9
- Obesity> 30
See if weight loss treatments could be right for you.
BMI is a general screening tool and does not directly measure body fat or overall health, so it may not be accurate for everyone. This calculator does not guarantee eligibility for weight loss medication, only a licensed healthcare provider can determine whether medication is appropriate based on your full health history.
When your effort isn't the problem
If you’re here, you’ve probably already tried everything. You’ve tracked calories, adjusted your macros, stayed consistent for months, and watched the scale barely move, or watched it come back the moment you stopped being perfect. The frustrating part is that you did everything right and your body still didn’t respond the way you expected it to. That gap between effort and results sometimes has a metabolic explanation. Hormonal changes, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, cortisol, these things shape how your body stores fat, burns energy, and responds to a caloric deficit. But a prescription without the clinical picture behind it is a short-term solution. We prescribe based on your labs, and we help you build the nutritional and behavioral framework so the results hold up after the medication does its part.
WEIGHT LOSS: THE ALCHEMICAL WAY
Your labs and how you feel, together
Two people at the same weight can have completely different metabolic profiles and a totally different clinical picture. Your provider uses all of it together, not a standard dosing chart.
Your protocol adapts as your body does
Weight loss changes your physiology over time, and your treatment is reviewed and adjusted to reflect where you are in your progress. Dosage, frequency, and medication choice can change based on your response, your labs, and your goals.
Ongoing Care
Working with your medical provider does not end with the prescription. Follow-up visits, lab reviews, and adjustments to your plan happen as your goals and your body change over time.

Why we test what most physicals don't
Excess weight creates downstream effects on your hormones, your metabolism, your thyroid, and your inflammatory markers. A standard annual physical won't catch most of them, which is why our panel goes deeper.
Hormones
- Estrogen dominance — body fat produces estrogen through aromatase activity, promoting fat storage, water retention, and cycle irregularity
- Progesterone — suppressed by body fat and elevated cortisol, compounding estrogen imbalance and affecting mood, sleep, and cycle regularity
Metabolic
- Fasting insulin — one of the earliest markers of metabolic dysfunction, often elevated years before blood sugar looks abnormal. Insulin resistance makes your body more efficient at storing fat than releasing it
- HbA1c — a three-month blood sugar average that catches glucose problems a single fasting reading can miss
Thyroid
- Free T3 — excess weight impairs conversion of T4 into T3, the active hormone that drives your metabolic rate
- Free T4 — when circulating T4 drops alongside poor conversion, thyroid output is suppressed from both directions
Adrenal
- Cortisol — chronically elevated with excess weight and stress, promotes visceral fat storage and disrupts sleep
- DHEA-S — declines with weight gain and age, tied to insulin resistance, fatigue, and reduced recovery
