How Much Weight Can I Expect To Lose?2023-11-16T14:51:21+00:00

On average, members experience a weight loss ranging from approximately 15% to 22% of their total body weight, and even more for those committed to enhancing their diet and exercise routines. Setting realistic expectations, studies reveal an estimated fat loss of around 29 pounds in one year with Semaglutide and about 49 pounds with Tirzepatide. Incorporating a balanced diet and regular exercise can amplify these results significantly.

What Medications Are Prescribed?2023-11-16T14:50:55+00:00

Our healthcare professionals prescribe GLP-1 and GIP medications, incorporating the active ingredients found in name brands. Certain treatment plans may also include energy-boosting vitamins like B-6 or B-12 to alleviate nausea and enhance overall well-being, providing an improved formulation beyond the basic compositions of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide alone.

How Much Does The Weight Loss Program Cost?2024-01-02T15:40:46+00:00

The initial consultation fee is $50, with follow-up appointments priced at $50 every 8 Weeks. This includes Concierge access for added convenience.

For Semaglutide PLUS, $850 Initial 12 Week Program (Then $300 A Month Until Goals Are Reached)

Tirzepatide PLUS $1000 Initial 8 Week Program (Then $500 A Month Until Goals Are Reached)

High-dose options may incur additional charges (see pricing page for more information).

What Is Concierge Access?2023-11-16T14:52:35+00:00

Enjoy exclusive access to your medical provider through a secure portal, or opt for a same-day phone call at no extra charge for any reason throughout the program.

What Are Possible Medication Side Effects?2023-11-16T15:00:09+00:00

Based on clinical trial findings, it’s indicated that fewer than 5% of patients cease GLP-1 medications due to side effects. In uncommon instances, clients may encounter acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, or constipation. Typically, nausea diminishes with continued medication use, and there are numerous strategies available to minimize side effects, making this occurrence rarely a cause for concern.

I Am Afraid Of Injections. Can You Help?2023-11-16T15:01:51+00:00

Our healthcare professionals recommend GLP-1 medications as they stand out as the most effective fat loss drugs currently available. Although research is ongoing for oral alternatives that could potentially match these injectables, such options might still be years away. Fortunately, we prioritize your comfort by utilizing the smallest needles and syringes possible, ensuring a virtually painless experience. Our dedicated team will provide comprehensive guidance throughout the medication process, addressing any concerns and assisting you with every step of the injection procedure.

Do I Need To Change My Diet Or Exercise Daily?2023-11-16T15:03:22+00:00

While it’s not mandatory to alter your diet, we highly recommend adopting healthy eating habits as they significantly enhance the likelihood of sustaining weight loss. Engaging in regular exercise is proven to elevate metabolism, ward off various diseases, and extend lifespan. Incorporating physical activity into your routine will contribute to the maintenance of your weight loss.

Will I Rebound And Gain Weight Back I Lost On Medication?2023-11-16T15:04:55+00:00

No, there’s no immediate “rebound” or rapid weight gain. Nevertheless, if there were genetic, lifestyle, or habit-related factors contributing to past weight gain, they could potentially play a role in future weight concerns. We strongly advocate for the cultivation of healthy habits among all clients to prevent the recurrence of unwanted fat.
