What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation and cooking skills assessment to understand both your health status and current culinary abilities.

Medical appointments typically occur bi-weekly initially, while cooking classes can be scheduled weekly or as intensive weekend workshops.
Implementation starts with basic cooking fundamentals if needed, progressing to more complex techniques as your confidence builds. We provide take-home materials including recipes, meal plans, and cooking technique guides to reinforce classroom learning. Progress is monitored through regular weigh-ins, health parameter tracking, and cooking skill assessments. Adjustments to both medical and culinary components occur based on your progress, preferences, and any challenges encountered during the program.
Why Choose Med Life Fit
Med Life Fit's unique integration of medical weight loss and culinary education addresses a critical gap in traditional weight loss programs. While many programs tell you what to eat, we teach you how to prepare it successfully at home. Our medical supervision ensures safe, effective weight loss while our cooking classes provide practical skills that prevent the common problem of reverting to unhealthy eating habits after initial weight loss.
Our small class sizes ensure personalized attention and hands-on learning in our fully-equipped teaching kitchen. We use evidence-based medical protocols combined with proven culinary techniques, creating a comprehensive approach that addresses both the science and art of healthy eating. Our instructors bring both healthcare expertise and culinary passion to create an engaging, supportive learning environment that makes healthy cooking enjoyable rather than burdensome.
Insurance & Pricing
Medical weight loss consultations may be covered by insurance when medically necessary, though coverage varies by provider and individual policy requirements. Cooking classes and culinary instruction are typically not covered by insurance and are fee-for-service. Individual medical consultations range from $150-250, while cooking classes cost $75-125 per session depending on class size and duration. Package deals combining medical supervision with cooking instruction offer significant savings, typically ranging from $800-1200 for comprehensive 3-month programs. We offer payment plans for longer programs and sliding scale fees for qualifying individuals.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come prepared to actively participate in both medical evaluations and hands-on cooking activities. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and clothing suitable for kitchen work during cooking classes. Bring any current medications, recent lab work, and specific dietary restrictions or food allergies to your initial medical consultation. Don't worry if you have limited cooking experience - our classes are designed for all skill levels.
Success requires commitment to both following medical recommendations and practicing cooking techniques at home between classes. Keep a food diary and cooking practice log to track progress and identify areas needing additional focus. Take advantage of our take-home materials and don't hesitate to ask questions during classes. Remember that building cooking confidence takes time and practice, so be patient with yourself during the learning process.
