Your Questions Answered
Do you prescribe Wegovy, Ozempic, or ZepBound?
No. For many patients, medications like Wegovy, Ozempic, and ZepBound are simply not necessary. While they can be effective, they are often expensive, not covered by insurance, and difficult to stay on long-term due to side effects and availability. Older FDA-approved weight loss medications have been used safely for decades, are well-tolerated by most patients, and are highly effective when combined with nutrition guidance and medical supervision. Our program focuses on practical, affordable, evidence-based treatment that supports steady, sustainable weight loss without the long-term dependency or cost of newer injectable drugs.
Do you offer meal plans or strict diets?
No strict diets. We provide practical nutrition guidance that fits into everyday routines—no starvation plans or fads.
How much weight do people usually lose?
Results vary, but most patients lose weight safely and steadily under medical supervision. The goal is long-term, sustainable progress—not rapid or unsafe weight loss.
Do I need insurance?
No. Our program is self-pay and designed to be affordable. Many patients choose this because the medications we use are reasonably priced and widely available, even without insurance coverage.
How long does the program last?
There is no set timeframe. Some patients reach their goal in a few months, while others continue longer for support and maintenance.
Do I need lab work?
Lab work is sometimes recommended based on medical history, age, and risk factors. If needed, we will discuss it with you on your first visit.
