They check your blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs; review your medical history; discuss your typical diet and exercise habits; inquire about your goal weight; and complete a physical exam, if needed. Before tailoring your personalized weight loss program, your weight loss specialist may suggest blood tests or diagnostic tests that screen for high cholesterol, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or other potential problems.
