Medical Weight Loss

It's no secret that losing weight is difficult, and maintaining weight loss can be even more difficult. For more on why it's so hard to lose weight, check out our blog post here. Even with the right lifestyle changes in place, sometimes additional support is needed, which is where we can help.

Along with coming up with individual lifestyle modifications, there are many medications to choose from, and we'd love to go through these with you, look at the pros and cons, and together decide on what may be in your best overall interest. Check out what we can offer below. Our medical weight loss program is included in our primary care membership or can be subscribed to virtually by itself to patients in North Carolina. Membership covers the initial visit plus all follow ups, both those in person and those by video visit, phone, email, or text. The cost of medications is not included though we will help fight with your insurance on your behalf to try and get them covered.

• 1 on 1 coaching and visits with a triple board certified physician who has done extensive additional training in lifestyle and obesity medicine. Build a longer and deeper relationship than you'll get with a different weight management company
• personalized broad health plan with spending more time on specifics where they are needed (eg, nutrition planning, exercise discussion, medication interactions and prescriptions, etc)
• initial intake visit and close follow up thereafter (can be all telemedicine)
• easy communication through text or email in between scheduled visits, all with no copays or surprise bills
• medication management and prescriptions (medication cost not included in membership fee, but many patients have coverage through insurance)
• we will help with prior authorizations and fight with insurance on your behalf to try and get name brand medications approved that we think are medically necessary (often copays are $25 or less if covered by your insurance)
• certain labs may be required prior to medications being prescribed. If you have had recent labs through your PCP or elsewhere, we can review those and provide personalized recommendations based on your specific results. Otherwise, benefit from our discounted labs, with a complete set of labs (including CBC, CMP, A1C, and lipids) for only around $15
• save thousands of dollars per year with our low monthly membership compared to expensive online companies
