Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Metabolic Medical Center locations?

Our Mount Pleasant location offers the same physician expertise, treatment protocols, and services as downtown. Your choice is purely based on location convenience. All our locations maintain the same high standards.

How do you determine the right medication?

We review your metabolic bloodwork, medical history, and health goals to recommend specific medications. Most patients start on one GLP-1 agent, but some benefit from combination therapy. We adjust based on your response and any side effects.

What if I can't afford the newest medications?

We offer multiple options at different price points including older medication classes. Insurance coverage varies significantly. Our team explores all options and helps you find the most affordable approach within your budget.

How much weight loss is realistic?

Average weight loss with our programs ranges from 1-2 pounds weekly initially, tapering as you approach goal weight. Many patients achieve 25-50+ pounds total loss. Results vary based on starting weight and program compliance.

What happens if medications stop working?

We adjust dosages or medications if results plateau. Sometimes combining agents works better than single agents. We continuously monitor and modify your plan to maintain results.

Do you treat conditions beyond just weight loss?

Yes, we address metabolic conditions including insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, and thyroid disorders. Often treating these conditions improves weight loss outcomes significantly.

Can I do treatment entirely virtually?

Most patients benefit from at least some in-person visits for accurate measurements and physical assessment. However, we can arrange primarily virtual visits with occasional in-person appointments if needed.

How long do results last after I stop treatment?

Maintenance depends on habit changes you develop during treatment. Most patients maintain results best with ongoing maintenance medications and regular check-ins. We transition you to sustainable protocols long-term.
