What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment that includes metabolic testing, food preference evaluation, and lifestyle analysis. During your first visit, we'll discuss your health history, previous weight loss attempts, and personal goals to create a realistic timeline for success.

From there, you'll receive a customized nutrition plan with weekly check-ins during your first month, then bi-weekly sessions as you build confidence. We use a gradual approach, making small sustainable changes each week rather than dramatic overhauls. Throughout the process, you'll have access to our meal planning app, recipe database, and 24/7 support through our client portal. We track progress through various metrics beyond weight, including energy levels, sleep quality, and lab values when appropriate.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans including Providence, Kaiser Permanente, and PacificSource. Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling for weight management, especially when referred by your physician. Our team can help verify your benefits and handle prior authorization requirements.

For those paying out of pocket, our initial consultation is $200 with follow-up sessions at $125. We offer package deals that reduce per-session costs, and our sliding scale program provides reduced rates based on income. Payment plans are available for our comprehensive programs.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment having completed our online health questionnaire and bring any recent lab work or medical records. We recommend keeping a 3-day food diary before your visit to help us understand your current eating patterns. Don't start any restrictive diets beforehand - we want to see your normal habits.

Wear comfortable clothing for body composition testing, and plan for your appointment to last about 90 minutes. Bring a list of current medications and supplements, along with any specific health concerns or goals you'd like to address. Most importantly, come with an open mind and ready to make gradual, sustainable changes rather than expecting quick fixes.
