What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive health assessment and goal-setting session where we review your medical history, current eating habits, and lifestyle factors. During your first week, you'll meet with both a nutritionist and behavioral coach to establish your personalized plan. Weekly check-ins include weight and measurement tracking, meal plan adjustments, and problem-solving sessions for any challenges you're facing.

Each month, we conduct progress reviews and body composition analysis to ensure you're losing fat while preserving muscle mass. Our coaches provide ongoing education about nutrition, portion control, and healthy cooking techniques. As you approach your goal weight, we transition into our maintenance phase, gradually teaching you to manage your weight independently while still providing support when needed.

We accept BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, and most other commercial insurance plans. Our initial consultation fee is $150, with follow-up sessions ranging from $75-125 depending on the services provided. We offer package deals that can reduce your per-visit costs significantly. For those without insurance coverage, we provide flexible payment plans and sliding scale options based on financial need. We believe cost shouldn't be a barrier to achieving better health.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, we recommend keeping a food diary for at least three days to help us understand your current eating patterns. Bring a list of any medications you're taking, as well as recent lab work if available. Come prepared to discuss your weight loss history, including what's worked and what hasn't in the past.

During treatment, we encourage open communication about challenges you're facing. Don't wait until your next appointment if you're struggling - call or email us between visits. We provide emergency support for difficult situations like social events or stress-eating episodes. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, and small setbacks don't mean failure. Stay committed to the process, attend all your appointments, and trust that consistency will lead to results.
