Frequently Asked Questions
Wellness & Body Questions, Answered
Is medical weight loss just about a prescription?
No. GLP-1 medications are one tool inside a supervised program with nutrition and follow-up. For patients who aren’t candidates, we route to other options rather than dismiss them — a theme across these guides.
How do you decide on hormone therapy?
It starts with labs and a 60–90 minute consultation. We treat to an optimal level and how you feel, not just a number on a page. Several guides walk through what to expect.
