Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the most accurate ways to determine when extra pounds translate into increased risks that ultimately affect overall health and well-being. It is a measure which takes into account a patient's weight and height to determine health risks associated with obesity. Someone with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and is generally believed to carry moderate risk for developing adverse medical conditions. A BMI of 30 to 34.9 places an individual into the obese category, and someone with a BMI of 35 or greater is considered to be clinically severely obese. The higher the BMI, the greater the risk of developing significant health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.

The benefits achieved through effective medical management of your weight can significantly improve your overall physical health. BMI Weight Busters opens the door to lasting change discovered through self-awareness and understanding of your whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Our goal is to lower your BMI to a healthier number.

What sets us apart from other weight loss centers is our core belief that long term weight loss is accomplished by a multidisciplinary team approach, specifically our behavioral health counselor, and bariatric physician. Our team implements the latest in proven weight loss strategies for all men, women, and children. We help you develop a safe and sensible plan tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.
