Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between your approach and regular weight loss clinics?

We address underlying causes like nutrient deficiencies, toxicity, and metabolic dysfunction rather than just prescribing appetite suppressants. Our integrative approach combines the best of conventional and natural medicine for sustainable results.

Are your doctors real medical doctors?

Yes, our team includes both MDs and NDs (naturopathic doctors). All our practitioners are licensed healthcare providers with extensive training in their respective fields and additional training in integrative medicine.

What conditions do you treat besides weight loss?

We treat chronic fatigue, autoimmune conditions, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, environmental toxicity, and many other conditions using integrative approaches. Weight loss is often a beneficial side effect of treating underlying health issues.

How is your IV therapy different from other clinics?

We customize IV protocols based on individual testing and health needs rather than offering standard formulations. Our doctors have advanced training in IV therapy and use pharmaceutical-grade nutrients in optimal combinations.

Do you accept insurance for any services?

Some consultations and lab work may be covered depending on your plan, but most of our specialized treatments are self-pay. This allows us to offer advanced treatments without insurance limitations.

How long does it take to see results?

Many patients feel improvements in energy and wellbeing within weeks, but significant weight loss and health changes typically occur over 3-6 months as we address underlying imbalances and support your body's healing processes.

Can you work with my other doctors?

Absolutely. We believe in collaborative care and are happy to communicate with your other healthcare providers to ensure coordinated treatment. We often complement rather than replace your existing medical care.
