Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prescription medication to participate?

No. Some patients use medication, others don't. Your doctor assesses whether medication would help you specifically. It's one tool among many. Many people see great results with coaching and lifestyle changes alone.

Are the prescription medications safe?

Newer weight loss medications have strong safety profiles when prescribed appropriately. Our doctors monitor you closely with regular check-ins and blood work. We manage any side effects and adjust doses as needed. No medication is right for everyone.

What will you measure to track progress?

We track weight, body measurements, how you feel, energy levels, and health markers from bloodwork. We also assess your lifestyle habits, sleep quality, and stress. Progress isn't just the scale.

How often do I see the doctor?

Initially, you'll see the doctor monthly for assessment, medication adjustments, and monitoring. As you progress, visits may space out to every six to eight weeks. You can request more frequent visits if needed.

Do you work with insurance?

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Coverage varies for different services. Our staff verifies coverage before your first visit. We offer cash-pay options for uninsured patients.

What if the medication isn't working?

We have options. We can adjust your dose, try a different medication, or focus on coaching and lifestyle changes. We're constantly reassessing and adjusting your plan based on how your body responds.

How long does it take to see results?

Many people notice changes within two to four weeks. More significant results typically appear over three to six months. Medications tend to work faster than lifestyle changes alone, but individual results vary.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We transition to maintenance coaching to help you keep the weight off long-term. Many people maintain medication at lower doses or stop it while continuing lifestyle habits. We're here for ongoing support.
