Frequently Asked Questions

Is this permanent? How soon will I gain the weight back?

Like any weight loss method, results depend on maintaining healthy habits. If you return to old eating patterns, weight will likely return. The medication helps you build sustainable lifestyle changes, but lasting success requires continuing those habits after treatment.
We prioritize medical oversight and safety. Our peptides are sourced from 503A pharmacies, and your treatment is overseen by Nurse Practitioners. You’ll come in weekly for office visits where we’ll administer your injection, check vitals, and provide health coaching for accountability. Our programs also include weekly vitamin injections to support energy, mood, and metabolism, giving you the medical guidance and nutritional support needed for safe, sustainable results.

Most side effects are gastrointestinal, with nausea being the primary concern—no different than the brand version. Here’s what to expect and how to manage them:

  • Nausea is the most common side effect, typically occurring in the first one to two days after injection and often triggered by eating too much. 
  • Constipation is very common and intermittent due to significantly reduced food intake, especially fats and oils. Miralax can help provide relief.
  • Vomiting typically happens early on and is often associated with skipping meals then eating large portions or eating too quickly.
  • Diarrhea is less common but can occur from dietary changes or the medication’s effect on your GI tract. Treat with Imodium as directed on the package.
  • Heartburn or reflux is very common due to delayed gastric emptying. 
While we don’t currently work with insurance for our medical weight loss programs, we do accept HSA and FSA payments to help make treatment more accessible. Our team will provide detailed pricing information during your consultation so you can make an informed decision about your weight loss journey.
Absolutely! We review all your medications and work with your provider to ensure your weight loss plan is safe and effective.
We’re committed to getting you results. If your plan isn’t working, we’ll adjust it, explore new options, and ensure you’re on track for success.
We don’t just leave you hanging. We provide ongoing support and coaching to help you maintain your progress. Maintenance is key to long-term success.
Yes! Booking ahead ensures we have enough time to create the perfect plan for you. Schedule your consultation today and take the first step toward a new, healthier you!
