Frequently Asked Questions

What's a metabolic rate test and why do I need it?

Metabolic rate testing measures how many calories your body burns at rest. It's crucial because many people overestimate or underestimate their actual metabolism. This data helps us create accurate nutrition plans rather than generic recommendations.

Will I be prescribed weight loss medication?

Medication is one tool we consider, not a requirement. We'll discuss whether medications align with your health profile and goals. We use the latest FDA-approved options if appropriate for you.

How often do I need follow-up appointments?

Most programs include monthly visits for the first few months, then less frequent monitoring as you progress. We adjust frequency based on your needs and program type.

Can you treat weight gain from medical conditions?

Yes, we specialize in weight gain related to thyroid disorders, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, and other conditions. Our medical team addresses underlying health issues alongside weight loss.

What if I have a history of eating disorders?

Please disclose this during your consultation. We have protocols for supporting patients with eating disorder histories and can modify our approach accordingly. We may coordinate with a mental health professional.

How long do results typically take?

Initial results vary, but most see measurable changes in 4-6 weeks. Metabolic improvements often precede scale weight loss, which is why we track multiple metrics.

Is this program covered by insurance?

Many programs are covered under weight loss or bariatric care benefits. We'll verify your coverage before you start. Some testing may require out-of-pocket payment.

What happens if I regain weight after the program?

We offer maintenance programs and follow-up consultations. Understanding what caused weight regain helps us prevent it. Many patients maintain long-term success with periodic check-ins.
