Services Offered
Our comprehensive weight loss services center around naturopathic medicine and hormone optimization. We offer detailed hormone testing to identify imbalances affecting metabolism, including thyroid function, insulin resistance, cortisol levels, and reproductive hormones. Based on these findings, we develop customized treatment protocols using bioidentical hormone therapy, targeted nutritional supplementation, and dietary modifications. Our body contouring services complement medical weight loss through non-invasive treatments that help reshape problem areas and improve skin elasticity. We also provide ongoing nutritional counseling, meal planning support, and lifestyle coaching to ensure sustainable results. Each patient receives a thorough initial consultation lasting 90 minutes, followed by regular monitoring appointments to track progress and adjust treatments as needed. Our integrative approach means we work alongside your existing healthcare team when necessary, ensuring all aspects of your health are considered in your weight loss journey.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute consultation where Dr. Brimhall reviews your complete health history, symptoms, and previous weight loss attempts. We'll order specialized lab work to assess hormone levels, nutrient status, and metabolic markers that standard tests often miss. Once results are available, you'll return for a detailed treatment planning session where we'll design your personalized protocol. Treatment typically includes hormone optimization, targeted supplements, and customized nutrition guidelines. Follow-up appointments occur every 4-6 weeks initially, then space out as you progress. We monitor your response through regular lab work and body composition analysis, adjusting treatments to ensure optimal results while maintaining your overall health and wellbeing.

Insurance & Pricing
While we don't directly bill insurance, we provide detailed receipts that many patients successfully submit to their insurance companies for reimbursement. HSA and FSA accounts typically cover our services. Initial consultations range from $350-450, with follow-up visits costing $150-250. Lab work and supplements are additional costs that vary based on individual needs. We offer package deals for comprehensive programs that can reduce overall costs. Payment plans are available for qualifying patients, and we believe investing in your health through proper hormone optimization provides long-term value that far exceeds the initial investment.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared for your first appointment with a complete list of current medications, supplements, and previous lab results if available. We recommend keeping a food diary for at least one week before your visit to help identify patterns. Bring comfortable clothing for body composition measurements, and plan for your appointment to last up to 90 minutes. It's helpful to write down specific symptoms, energy patterns, and weight loss challenges you've experienced. Be prepared to discuss your health goals openly and honestly - the more information you provide, the better we can tailor your treatment plan. Most patients see initial improvements within 4-6 weeks, though significant changes typically occur over 3-6 months as hormones rebalance and metabolism optimizes.
