Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from other weight loss programs?

We combine the expertise of registered dietitians and health coaches with medical oversight. Every plan is personalized, not cookie-cutter. We address why you gained weight, not just how to diet.

What if I've failed at weight loss before?

Previous attempts often failed because the approach wasn't right for you or you didn't have proper support. We take time to understand what didn't work and design something better. Our coaches help you succeed this time.

How often do I need to come in?

Initially, monthly appointments are typical, though this varies based on your needs. As you progress and develop consistency, visits may become less frequent. We adjust based on what's working.

Do I need medical referral?

No referral is needed to start. If you'd like, we can coordinate with your primary care doctor. Many find it helpful to have their doctor aware of their weight loss efforts.

What results can I expect?

Most clients lose 1-2 pounds per week, though individual results vary. We focus on steady, sustainable loss. After 3-4 months, many people report improved energy, better health numbers, and clothing fitting better.

Is there a group component?

Yes, we offer optional group educational sessions on topics like stress eating and label reading. These are helpful for learning practical skills and connecting with others on similar journeys.

What happens if I hit a weight loss plateau?

Plateaus are normal. We adjust your nutrition plan, increase activity if appropriate, or explore other strategies. Our team has tools and experience to help you break through plateaus.

Can I do virtual appointments?
