A member asked:
If a person has a bmi over 30 do you normally refer them to a weight loss clinic?

Individual practices: Each provider practices differently. When i see patient's with a bmi over 30, I do offer to write a nutrition consult. A nutrition consult however, is not a referral to a weight loss clinic.
