Why Physician-Led Beats DIY
Most diets ignore metabolism and hormones. Under our care, you’ll get a precise plan, regular adjustments, and medical oversight to help you avoid muscle loss, energy dips, and rebound weight regain.
Medications aren’t for everyone—but when indicated, they’re part of a larger plan, not the whole plan. We’ll evaluate benefits, risks, side effects, and shortages, and align therapy with your goals, labs, and lifestyle. Your safety comes first.
“We prioritize nutrition quality, protein intake, and resistance training to preserve muscle, bone, and metabolic health.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Many patients succeed without medications. If appropriate, we’ll discuss options and decide together based on your goals, history, and labs.
-
It depends on your medical profile (BMI, health conditions, medication history) and safety factors. We only prescribe when benefits clearly outweigh risks, and always as part of a full plan that protects muscle and metabolism.
-
Plateaus are normal. We review your food composition (especially protein), training, sleep, stress, and adherence; adjust macros/meal timing; and, if warranted, revisit medication dose/type or add strength-focused progressions.
-
Yes. We tailor nutrition, training, and—when appropriate—medications to your hormone status. If symptoms suggest you’d benefit from hormone evaluation, we’ll discuss that with you.
-
Many patients notice changes within weeks. Your timeline depends on your starting point, plan precision, and consistency. We aim for steady, sustainable fat loss—not quick fixes.
-
Often, yes. Telemedicine is available when clinically appropriate and where regulations allow. Certain visits, labs, or procedures may require in-clinic care.
-
No. They’re one tool among many and only used when medically indicated and desired by you.
-
We’ll map your care path and review costs during your consultation—no surprises. We’re a personalized medicine practice; we can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurer when applicable. HSA/FSA may apply for eligible services.
-
Maintenance is baked into your plan. We protect lean mass, build sustainable habits, and provide a structured transition to long-term maintenance with clear check-in options.
