What to Expect

Your Hourglass Wellness journey begins with a comprehensive metabolic assessment including body composition analysis, metabolic rate testing, and detailed health history review. We spend time understanding your previous weight loss attempts, current challenges, and realistic goals. Based on this information, we create a customized program with specific meal plans, supplement recommendations, and monitoring schedule. Weekly check-ins during the initial phase help ensure you're on track and allow for quick adjustments. As you progress, appointments may shift to bi-weekly or monthly depending on your confidence and consistency. Throughout the program, you'll receive educational materials and practical tools to support independent decision-making.

Why Choose Hourglass Wellness

Hourglass Wellness distinguishes itself through personalized attention and metabolic science-based approaches that address the root causes of weight management difficulties. Our smaller client base allows for more frequent contact and rapid response to questions or concerns. We don't use one-size-fits-all programs but instead customize every aspect of your plan based on your individual metabolic profile. Our track record shows higher long-term success rates because we teach clients how to maintain their results independently. The clinic's calm, supportive environment makes the weight loss process less stressful and more sustainable for long-term lifestyle change.

Insurance & Pricing

Hourglass Wellness operates primarily on a self-pay basis, allowing us to provide more personalized service without insurance restrictions. Our comprehensive initial assessment and program design fee is $299, with follow-up appointments ranging from $75-125 depending on services included. Multi-month packages are available at discounted rates, with 3-month programs starting at $599 and 6-month programs at $999. We offer payment plans for clients who prefer to spread costs over time rather than pay upfront.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, avoid crash dieting or making dramatic dietary changes that might affect your metabolic baseline measurements. Bring a complete list of medications, supplements, and any medical conditions that might impact weight loss. We recommend keeping a food diary for 3-5 days before your appointment to help us understand your current eating patterns. Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing for body composition testing. Plan for a 90-minute initial appointment and come prepared with questions about the program structure, expectations, and timeline for results. Bring a water bottle and be prepared to discuss your weight history honestly and openly.
