At Infinite Wellness Hormone Specialists, Dr. Vanessa Mack (Dean) and our team take a personalized approach by looking beyond BMI to understand each patient’s unique health needs.

At Infinite Wellness Hormone Specialists, our team considers BMI as one important factor when evaluating whether Ozempic (semaglutide) may be appropriate for a patient’s weight management goals. BMI provides a general measurement of weight in relation to height and can help identify whether a person may fall within a range associated with increased risk for certain weight-related health concerns.

BMI is reviewed because it can help our team:

• Understand overall weight-related health risks
• Identify whether a patient may meet general evaluation criteria for weight management therapy
• Consider how excess weight may affect metabolic health
• Create a more personalized approach based on individual wellness needs

However, BMI is not the only factor considered during an evaluation. Our team also reviews medical history, lifestyle factors, metabolic health, hormone balance, and overall wellness goals to better understand each patient’s needs.
