Frequently Asked Questions

How do hormones affect weight loss?

Hormones like thyroid, insulin, cortisol, and sex hormones directly affect metabolism, appetite, fat storage, and energy levels. Imbalances in these hormones can make weight loss extremely difficult or impossible despite diet and exercise efforts.

Can chronic pain prevent weight loss?

Yes, chronic pain can interfere with weight loss through multiple mechanisms including reduced physical activity, stress-induced cortisol elevation, sleep disruption, and pain medications that may affect metabolism. We address these factors as part of comprehensive treatment.

What types of hormone testing do you perform?

We perform comprehensive hormone panels including thyroid function, adrenal hormones, sex hormones, insulin and glucose markers, and inflammatory markers. Testing helps identify specific imbalances that may be contributing to weight gain or preventing weight loss.

Do you prescribe weight loss medications?

Yes, as a medical practice we can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate for individual patients. These are always used as part of comprehensive treatment plans that include lifestyle modification and ongoing monitoring.

Is hormone replacement therapy safe?

When properly prescribed and monitored by qualified medical professionals, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is generally safe and effective. We use the lowest effective doses and monitor patients regularly to ensure safety and effectiveness.

How long before I see results from treatment?

Results vary depending on individual factors and treatments used, but many patients notice improvements in energy and symptoms within 4-8 weeks. Weight loss typically begins within 2-3 months as hormones are optimized and metabolic function improves.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans for medical consultations and covered services. Some specialized treatments may require out-of-pocket payment, but we work with patients to optimize insurance benefits and provide cost-effective care.

What makes your approach different from other weight loss programs?

Our medical approach addresses the underlying hormonal and pain-related factors that can prevent successful weight loss. We combine pain management, hormone optimization, and medical weight loss in an integrated approach that treats the whole person rather than just symptoms.
