FAQ
How do I know this is legitimate? I've heard about fake diet medications and non-licensed personnel.
You will receive your provider’s name when you book your initial video appointment with us. We encourage you to verify they are licensed as a nurse practitioner or physician in the state of Louisiana and can show you how to do that. We can also show you how to verify the pharmacy.
Does this medication work the same for everyone? Do I have to diet and exercise?
Restrictive dieting is not required. Many people lose weight without exercising, but most also lose muscle mass. Exercise is optional but encouraged to maintain health. This medication works for most people. However, studies show that 15% of people will not respond in the same way. If this is you, our providers know obesity medicine and treatment protocols that can work better for your metabolic system. We will work with you to find a treatment plan to meet your goals!
What happens if my compounded medication is no longer available?
The FDA currently allows compounding pharmacies to make compounded tirzepetide and semaglutide because
Wegovy and Zepbound are listed on the FDA Shortage List. If that is expected to change, we will try to find
alternative options. Our providers are experienced in prior authorizations and resources, like manufacturer
coupons.

How much weight can I really lose?
Injectable weight loss medications have been shown to lead to reductions of 15-20% of body weight with diet and exercise. Expect 10% loss of body weight over 6 months. Some lose more than that during the first six months and some lose less. If you lose less or are not consistently meeting your goals each month, we will work with you! Start now and you could be transformed by next month!
Do I need to go into a clinic for weight loss treatments?
No, we specialize in telehealth, which allows you to access our comprehensive weight loss programs from the comfort of your home or office with virtual visits.
Do I need to have follow-up appointments?
Yes! The frequency depends on your medical history, but we want to ensure you meet your monthly goals and monitor for any side effects.
Are compounded medications safe?
Yes, these medications are safe and obtained through licensed pharmacies who undergo monitoring by the FDA. There are only a few contraindications for each class of medication and we will review these at your initial visit to make sure you are a good fit.
Are compounded medications legal?
Yes! Compounding pharmacies are allowed to make compounded versions of commercially available drugs under special circumstances, particularly a shortage, according to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
What about side effects?
Side effects can happen. The most common are nausea, acid reflux, and constipation. There are ways to lessen these and we provide ongoing support to make sure you feel your best. We will discuss this during each visit and as needed.
Can I use insurance for medications?
If you are eligible, we are happy to send a prescription to your regular pharmacy for the brand-name medications (Wegovy and Zepbound). Please note that many insurance companies do not cover these medications, and even with insurance, they can be quite expensive and very difficult to find in stock. There are safe and effective options for budgets of all ranges. We will discuss what works for you during your first visit.
How does it work?
How it works:
1. Optional: 15 min free phone consult (offered Aug 3-31 for our Grand Opening month): to discover more about our
services and how we can best serve you!
2. Book your initial weight management virtual visit. If you choose a package, the cost of the visit is applied to the
package. This is where we discuss your health and options in depth and develop a personalized plan to meet your
goals.
3. Your customized weight loss plan is delivered directly to you OR your prescription is sent to your pharmacy.
4. Follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust dosing (if needed) to reach your goals
