About Total HealthcareMD

Total HealthcareMD in Cary offers a comprehensive approach to weight loss that goes beyond quick fixes. Our medical team understands that sustainable weight loss requires addressing the root causes of weight gain, including hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, and lifestyle factors that traditional dieting can't solve.

We combine evidence-based medical treatments with personalized nutrition counseling and ongoing support to help you achieve lasting results. Our clinic has served the Triangle area for over a decade, helping thousands of patients transform their health through medically supervised weight loss programs tailored to each individual's unique needs and goals.

Services Offered

Our weight loss services encompass medical evaluation, prescription weight loss medications, nutritional counseling, and metabolic testing. We start with comprehensive lab work to identify any underlying conditions that might be hindering your weight loss efforts, such as thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, or hormonal imbalances. Our medical providers can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate, including newer options like GLP-1 agonists. We also offer body composition analysis using advanced DEXA scanning to track your progress beyond just the scale. Our registered dietitians work closely with patients to develop sustainable meal plans that fit their lifestyle and preferences. Additionally, we provide vitamin B12 injections and other nutrient therapies to support metabolism and energy levels during your weight loss journey. Regular follow-up appointments ensure you stay on track and allow us to adjust your treatment plan as needed.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation where we review your health history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. We'll order appropriate lab tests to check thyroid function, blood sugar levels, and other metabolic markers. Based on your results, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription medications, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle modifications. You'll meet regularly with our team for monitoring and support, typically every 2-4 weeks initially. We track your progress through weight measurements, body composition analysis, and how you're feeling overall. As you progress, we'll adjust your plan to ensure continued success and help you transition to long-term maintenance.

Why Choose Total HealthcareMD

What sets Total HealthcareMD apart is our medical approach combined with genuine care for each patient's success. Unlike commercial weight loss programs, we can prescribe medications and address medical conditions that affect weight loss. Our team takes time to understand your individual challenges and creates realistic, sustainable plans. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or extreme restrictions that aren't maintainable long-term. Our patients appreciate our non-judgmental approach and the fact that we're available for support between appointments. Many of our patients have tried other programs unsuccessfully before finding lasting results with our medically supervised approach. We're committed to your long-term health, not just quick results.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans, and many patients find that their insurance covers the medical evaluation and lab work portions of their treatment. While insurance coverage for weight loss medications varies, we work with you to find affordable options and can prescribe generic alternatives when available. We also offer package pricing for our comprehensive programs, which can provide better value than paying for individual services separately. Payment plans are available for qualifying patients.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment having stopped any current weight loss supplements for at least a week, and bring a list of all medications you're currently taking. We recommend keeping a 3-day food diary before your visit to help us understand your eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothing for your body composition analysis, and plan to spend about 90 minutes for your initial consultation. Don't start any new diets right before your appointment, as we want to see your baseline habits. If you have previous lab work from the past six months, please bring those results. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations and be prepared to make gradual, sustainable changes rather than expecting overnight transformation.

Yes, our medical providers can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications including GLP-1 agonists when medically appropriate. We'll evaluate your health history and current conditions to determine if these medications are right for you.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss results vary by individual, but most patients lose 1-2 pounds per week initially. With medical supervision and appropriate treatment, many patients achieve 5-15% of their body weight loss within the first six months.

Many insurance plans cover the medical evaluation and lab work portions of treatment. Coverage for weight loss medications varies by plan, but we'll help you understand your benefits and find affordable options.

What makes this different from other weight loss programs?

Our medical approach means we can address underlying health conditions that affect weight loss, prescribe medications, and provide medical monitoring. We don't use restrictive diets or unrealistic expectations but focus on sustainable, health-based changes.

How often will I need appointments?

Initially, most patients come every 2-4 weeks for monitoring and adjustments. As you progress and stabilize, appointments may become less frequent, typically monthly or every other month.

What if I've tried other weight loss programs without success?

Many of our patients have struggled with previous programs, which is exactly why medical supervision can be so helpful. We can identify medical barriers to weight loss that other programs might miss and provide treatments not available elsewhere.

Are there any side effects from weight loss medications?

Like all medications, weight loss drugs can have side effects, which is why medical supervision is important. We'll discuss potential side effects with you and monitor you carefully to ensure safe and effective treatment.
