The Classic Program Initial Consultation

You will begin your wellness journey with us at The Weigh Station with an in-depth initial consultation. During your first visit with us, you can expect:

  • Physical Exam: One of the advantages of choosing The Weigh Station for your weight loss journey is that a knowledgeable and experienced physician, such as Dr. Justin Lindsey, will spearhead your plan. You can ensure you will receive a thorough examination, which includes a body scan and lab work. The body scan helps give us a complete picture of your health metrics including percentage of body fat, muscle mass, water weight, BMI and more.

  • Health History: It is extremely important our team gets to know your medical history, including previous surgeries, diagnoses, genetic background, current medications and more.

  • Dietary Patterns: We will go over your dietary habits, restrictions and hurdles in order to craft a completely customized plan that will result in your success.

  • 1-on-1 Time: This initial consultation usually takes about an hour and a half. We want every patient to feel valued and make sure their concerns are truly seen and heard, so we do not rush this appointment—your success matters to us, too.

How The Classic Program Works

Our classic program is rooted in nearly 20 successful years and has transformed the lives of more than 18,000 people. We tailor each plan to your unique needs in order to make your weight loss possible and make sure you never gain it back! We do this through science and evidence-based practices while following all the current medical studies and literature, including:

  • Developing A Wholesome Nutrition Plan: Obesity rates in the United States have steadily increased over the past decade. By 2023, studies show approximately one-third of adults aged 18 and older—33 percent—were classified as obese. The good news is a well-balanced diet can make monumental improvements in your health and weight loss. Dr. Lindsey and our team will develop a nutrition plan that consists of high-quality protein, low glycemic index and calorie conscious.

  • Suggesting Supplements: We perform in-office lab work for all our patients to determine if you have any deficiencies. We are able to manage any deficiencies you may have such as low iron, vitamin D, thyroid, hormonal imbalance and blood sugars with dietary supplements that are free from sugars and other weight loss inhibitors.

  • Adapting To Your Goals: Whether you aim to lose 300 lbs or just 30 lbs, this program is made to meet your goals!

  • Medication, If Necessary: Depending on your case, we may prescribe medication or make adjustments in order to keep you safe and on the right track. However, many of our patients find they improve their health significantly to the point where they no longer need to take certain medications, which saves them money and relieves side effects!

Reaching The Maintenance Phase

At the end of your program, you will enter our maintenance phase, which helps keep our patients accountable and prevents them from gaining unnecessary weight back. The best part about the maintenance program at The Weigh Station is that it’s free! You will receive free regular weekly follow-ups in order to keep tabs on your program and health. We may also monitor your blood pressure and glucose levels while making any modifications. Additionally, we value building long-term, meaningful relationships with our patients and care for you as a whole person including your mental health. At The Weigh Station in Salem, VA, we are here to support you whenever you need it!
