Frequently Asked Questions

What are the common side effects of GLP-1 medications?

The most common side effects are digestive, such as nausea, constipation or reduced appetite, and they often improve as your body adjusts. Your provider will explain what to expect and adjust your dose gradually.

How long will I need to take weight loss medication?

It varies. Some patients use medication for a defined period, and others benefit from longer-term treatment. We also plan for maintenance so you can keep your results.

Can I see you if I live in Alexandria but work in DC?

Yes. We are licensed in both Virginia and Washington, DC, so you can meet with us from either location.

Do you treat both men and women for hormone issues?

Yes. We treat women in perimenopause and menopause and men with low testosterone symptoms, always guided by labs.

Do you take insurance?

We are a self-pay practice with transparent pricing. Labs can often be billed to insurance, and some medications may be filled through insurance at a local pharmacy.
