Patients who are selected into the body composition optimization (BCO) visits group will attend an extra one hour in-person check-up with Olivia Johnson as part of their regular clinic follow-ups. During their initial BCO visit, patients will complete a hard copy intake form. These BCO visits will take place in the same clinic as the regular visits. These visits will focus on individual concerns and goal-setting. These visits may be changed to online/video follow ups if the patients are finding it difficult to return to main campus that often.
