Many of our services are covered when medically necessary, including consultations, lab work, and prescription medications. Our financial counselors work with you to maximize insurance benefits and arrange payment plans when needed. Initial consultations range from $350-$500 depending on complexity. Program fees vary based on treatment intensity and duration. We're transparent about all costs upfront and never surprise you with hidden fees.
First-Time Patient Tips
Prepare for your first visit by gathering medical records, lab results from the past year, and a complete list of medications and supplements. We recommend fasting for 12 hours before your appointment for accurate metabolic testing. Bring a list of questions and be prepared to discuss your weight history honestly. After starting treatment, follow medication schedules precisely and attend all scheduled appointments. Keep detailed food logs and communicate any side effects immediately. Focus on building sustainable habits rather than seeking rapid results. Remember that metabolic healing takes time, and trust the process even when progress seems slow.
