Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between your program and generic weight loss clinics?

We specialize exclusively in metabolic health. We conduct detailed metabolic assessments to understand your unique physiology. Generic programs use one-size-fits-all approaches, while we customize everything based on your metabolic profile.

Do I need special tests before starting the program?

Yes, metabolic testing is part of our initial assessment. It includes body composition analysis and metabolic rate measurement. These tests help us create your personalized protocol and provide baseline data to track progress.

How long does the initial assessment take?

Plan for 90 minutes for your first appointment. This includes consultations with our team, testing, and discussion of your personalized protocol. We don't rush this process because thorough assessment is key to your success.

What if I have other medical conditions?

That's important information. We review your medical history carefully and coordinate with your other providers. Our team understands how conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease, and others affect metabolism and weight loss.

Can you help me if I've failed at weight loss before?

Yes. Often previous failures weren't because you lacked willpower - they were because the program wasn't right for your metabolism. Our personalized approach addresses why those programs didn't work for you.

How often do I come in for appointments?

Initially, most patients come every 2-4 weeks for monitoring and adjustments. As you progress and reach stability, appointments may decrease. The frequency depends on your program and progress.

Are the medications safe?

We use only FDA-approved medications prescribed appropriately for weight management. Your provider discusses the benefits and potential side effects. We monitor you regularly to ensure medications are working safely for you.

What happens after I reach my goal weight?

We transition you to a maintenance protocol with less frequent visits. Many patients choose to stay on maintenance medications to prevent regain. We teach you sustainable habits so you maintain your results long-term.
