Weight Management Intake Visit

Most people come to Storm Wellness Northwest looking for weight loss. What they often discover is so much more: a health journey that builds strength, confidence, and lasting change. True wellness means building habits and a lifestyle you can sustain for life.

During your intake visit, our nurse practitioner will take time to understand your life as a whole—your daily routines, stress levels, sleep, nutrition habits, and health history. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach this is healthcare the way you wish it worked: simple, supportive, and designed around your real life. We start by meeting you where you are and layer in small, realistic changes that can truly fit into your life. None of us have time for a complete routine overhaul, and we don’t believe that’s sustainable.

As part of your intake, we also perform body composition testing with our SECA machine. This gives us a clearer picture of what your scale number is made of—muscle, fat, and water—so we can set more meaningful goals and track progress beyond just pounds lost.

Treatment plans may include:

• Nutrition guidance tailored to your lifestyle
• Movement coaching for maintenance and in some cases increased muscle mass
• Lab work – offered in house or through Quest at a reasonable cash price ($99-$129)
• Evidence-based medications (oral or injectable) when appropriate
• Insurance-supported options (when prior authorization is possible, with a provider fee for submission)
• Access to direct-pay programs through pharmaceutical partners

Over time, many patients not only lose weight but also see remarkable improvements in their overall health. It’s not uncommon for blood pressure medications to be reduced or discontinued, or for blood sugar numbers to return to normal ranges.

Virtual Visit Requirements:

• You must be physically located in Washington or Oregon during your visit.
No driving during the appointment. If you are driving, the provider will cancel the session.

This visit is the first step in creating a plan that’s truly yours—one that supports not just weight loss, but long-term health and vitality.

LIPODISOLVE

Chin Contour – Bye-Bye, Double Chin! – Is It Fat…or Just Gravity Being Rude?

With precise injections of PCDC (phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate)—fancy science speak for “buh-bye, stubborn fat”—we can permanently eliminate fat cells under the chin for a more sculpted, defined jawline. But here’s the thing… what looks like extra chin fat is sometimes really about volume loss and facial changes happening higher up.

That’s why this appointment is a consultation first. We’ll carefully assess what’s truly going on (no guessing games!) and determine if submental fat reduction is right for you—or if a different treatment plan will help you reach your goals faster and more naturally.

So no, you won’t be walking out with a slimmer chin today—but you will leave with a clear, personalized plan to get you there.

Consider it a fact-finding mission for your most confident profile yet.
