Personal and family medical history
Symptoms of concern
Changes to your quality of life
Stress
Lifestyle habits

Weight Loss Programs
Dr. Rubin offers a strategic weight loss program that begins with a functional evaluation of your body. This evaluation includes:
- A review of your nutritional history
- Thyroid exam
- A review of hormone functions
- A review of what has and hasn’t worked so far
Dr. Rubin creates a personalized medical plan tailored to fit your specific weight loss journey based on the results of the evaluation. This plan may include a Detoxification Program, aiming to eliminate your body of any toxins that may be weakening your metabolism. The plan may also include a specialized diet, sarcotropin therapy, or a series of physical activity suggestions.
