It helps if you've thought about your biggest health concerns and what success looks like for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will weight loss help my joint and spine pain?

Yes, losing weight significantly reduces stress on your joints and spine. Even small weight loss can improve pain levels and mobility. We've seen many patients report better pain control as they reach their weight loss goals.

Are GLP-1 medications safe for long-term use?

GLP-1 medications have been used safely for many years, originally developed for diabetes management. We monitor you regularly during treatment to ensure safety. Individual health factors determine whether this option is right for you.

What if I've tried weight loss programs before?

Many of our patients have tried other programs without success. We'll analyze what didn't work and develop a different approach tailored to your specific needs. Different strategies work for different people.

Does insurance cover weight loss treatment?

Many insurance plans cover medically supervised weight loss, especially when combined with addiction medicine services. We'll verify your specific coverage before you start treatment.

How often will I have appointments?

Most patients start with monthly visits, especially when taking medications. Frequency can adjust based on your progress and needs. Some patients benefit from more frequent visits initially.

Can I exercise while losing weight with your program?

Exercise is encouraged, and we'll help you find activities that work with your pain conditions. We coordinate with physical therapy resources to ensure you're moving safely and effectively.

What makes your approach different from regular diets?

We provide medical oversight, medication options when needed, and behavioral coaching that addresses why you eat. This comprehensive approach treats weight loss as a medical condition, not just a willpower issue.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary based on starting weight, metabolism, and adherence to the program. We focus on sustainable weight loss rather than rapid results. Most patients lose 1-2 pounds per week consistently.
