How long will I need to be a patient?

That depends on your goals and preferences. Some patients only need an initial consult and a few follow-ups, while others prefer ongoing guidance. There’s no right or wrong approach—we’ll find the cadence that works best for you.

Do you offer nutrition counseling?

Yes. Nutrition is a key part of every consultation. We’ll tailor recommendations to your personal preferences, dietary needs, lifestyle, and health goals. Every visit includes a discussion about how to fuel your body in a way that supports strength, energy, and long-term well-being.

Often, yes. Understanding your metabolic health provides valuable insights and can guide treatment. Labs can be completed locally and billed to your insurance (coverage may vary). If you have recent labs from your PCP, we can review those as well.

Will I need a prior authorization for medications?

Possibly. It’s helpful to check your insurance coverage for weight loss medications or related diagnoses. Some medications are generic and inexpensive; others may be higher-cost or require prior approval. If you’re considering medication, having this information in advance can be helpful.

Is it safe to take weight loss medications?

Yes. These medications have undergone extensive clinical trials and are generally safe when prescribed appropriately. We'll review your personal health history and discuss benefits, risks, and side effects together.
