FAQ
How is this program different from your other functional medicine care?
This program is different from our functional medicine care programs in that it does not offer you a comprehensive view of your health with longer visits, functional medicine testing, and ongoing physician support. The Functional Medicine Weight Loss Program targets weight loss specifically using medications and functional medicine physician oversight. If you are looking to unpack health issues (like hormone or gut problems) in addition to losing weight, you should opt for our regular functional medicine care instead of this program.
What is the cost of the program? What does it include?
The cost is $150/month. It includes physician oversight, two sets of labs, and access to regular text messaging with the physician, as well as a valuable nutrition/exercise educational video from our nutritionist. It does not include medications or supplements, but these are available through the program.
How long does the program last?
The program is designed for 6 months, although some participants may complete it sooner, and some may take longer. Your physician is available to you as long as you are enrolled in the program and will help you get to your goal weight, even if that takes longer.
How do GLP-1 medications work?
GLP-1s work by mimicking the action of a natural hormone glucagon to regulate blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. They delay stomach emptying, and act on the brain to reduce appetite and food cravings.
How long does it take to see results?
Most people see some weight loss in the first month. The goal is to lose 1-2 pounds per week.
Will I be able to get off of the medication?
Once you get to your goal weight, your physician will work with you on how to best discontinue the medication while maintaining your weight loss.
Are there side effects to the medications? What about long-term risks?
The most common side effects we see to GLP-1 medications are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and blood sugar fluctuations which tend to improve as you move forward with the medication. Other side effects are possible, but are much less common, like headache, inflammation of the pancreas, and injection site reactions. One of the most important long-term risks is loss of muscle mass with longer use. It is important to include regular exercise, including strength training, and enough protein in the diet to decrease this risk.
Who shouldn’t take GLP-1 medications?
If you have a personal or family history of certain types of thyroid diseases or diabetes and take other medications, you should talk to your doctor prior to starting GLP-1s.
