Guns Total Wellness
Weight Loss Clinic in Monroe, North Carolina
About Guns Total Wellness
Guns Total Wellness in Monroe offers a natural, holistic approach to weight management that addresses the root causes of weight gain through functional medicine principles and personalized wellness coaching. Our philosophy centers on healing the body from within using nutritional therapy, natural supplementation, and lifestyle modifications rather than pharmaceutical interventions or restrictive dieting.
Founded by practitioners passionate about natural health solutions, we believe that sustainable weight loss occurs when the body's systems are functioning optimally. Our approach combines traditional naturopathic principles with modern functional medicine testing to identify and address underlying imbalances that contribute to weight gain, including hormonal issues, digestive problems, toxin exposure, and nutritional deficiencies.
Services Offered
Our comprehensive wellness programs begin with extensive functional medicine testing to identify underlying causes of weight gain, including hormone panels, food sensitivity testing, digestive analysis, and toxicity assessments. We create personalized nutrition plans based on your unique biochemistry and test results, emphasizing whole foods and anti-inflammatory principles. Our natural weight management protocols include therapeutic-grade supplementation, herbal medicine, and targeted nutrients to support metabolism, reduce inflammation, and optimize hormone function. Health coaching services provide ongoing support, meal planning assistance, stress management techniques, and lifestyle modification guidance. We offer detoxification programs to address toxin buildup that can interfere with metabolism and weight loss. Our holistic approach also includes addressing sleep optimization, stress reduction through natural methods, and exercise guidance tailored to your fitness level and health status. Follow-up testing tracks your progress and allows us to adjust protocols as your health improves. We focus on creating sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes, ensuring long-term success and improved overall health.

What to Expect
Your wellness journey begins with a comprehensive health assessment including detailed health history, lifestyle evaluation, and discussion of your weight loss goals. We conduct extensive functional medicine testing to identify underlying imbalances affecting your metabolism and weight. Based on your results, we create a personalized protocol including nutrition recommendations, natural supplements, and lifestyle modifications.
Regular follow-up appointments monitor your progress and adjust your program as needed. We typically see clients every 2-4 weeks initially, then monthly as improvements stabilize. Our health coaches provide ongoing support between appointments, helping you implement dietary changes, manage stress, and stay motivated. Follow-up testing at 3-6 month intervals tracks your biochemical improvements and allows us to refine your protocol for optimal results.
Why Choose Guns Total Wellness
Our natural approach offers an alternative for clients who want to avoid pharmaceutical weight loss medications or who haven't found success with traditional medical approaches. We address the underlying causes of weight gain rather than just treating symptoms, leading to more sustainable results and improved overall health. Our functional medicine testing often reveals hidden issues that other providers miss.
Our personalized protocols are based on your unique biochemistry rather than one-size-fits-all approaches. Clients often experience improvements in energy, sleep, digestion, and mood alongside weight loss, creating a comprehensive wellness transformation. Our natural methods work with your body's healing mechanisms rather than against them, supporting long-term health optimization beyond just weight management.
Insurance & Pricing
Most insurance plans don't cover functional medicine testing or naturopathic services, so our programs are primarily fee-for-service. Initial comprehensive consultations range from $200-300, including basic assessment and protocol development. Functional medicine testing packages range from $400-800 depending on the scope of testing needed. Monthly follow-up visits are $100-150, and supplements are additional cost based on your specific protocol. We accept HSA and FSA payments and offer payment plans for comprehensive testing packages.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared to discuss your complete health history, including digestive issues, energy levels, sleep patterns, stress levels, and any symptoms you may not think are related to weight. Bring a list of all medications and supplements you're currently taking. Be ready to commit to dietary changes and lifestyle modifications, as our approach requires active participation rather than passive treatment.
Understand that natural approaches often take longer to show dramatic results but tend to be more sustainable long-term. Initial improvements in energy and well-being often occur within weeks, while significant weight changes typically develop over 3-6 months. Be prepared for the investment in testing and supplements, as these are essential components of our thorough approach.
