Q. What is the difference between Body RX and a Primary Care Doctor?
A. Body RX is different from a Primary Care Doctor. Instead of treating your symptoms with prescription medication that can add to your health issues, we focus on your overall quality of health. We use a holistic approach to helping you improve your health, meaning we take an approach helping to enhance your whole health, not just your symptoms.
Q. Are you a weight loss clinic?
A. We do provide medical weight loss services. We are specifically a health optimization clinic that helps people find the underlying causes of chronic issues and stubborn weight/excess fat. Many of our patients find the rest of our health services to bring them better results when combined rather than just focusing on weight loss.
Q. When can I start seeing results?
A. It depends on what program you're on. Still, generally, people can see results within 2-4 months (sometimes earlier), which is why we encourage our patients to come in for regular bloodwork every four months.
Q. Can I cancel a health program whenever I want? What are the drawbacks?
A. You can cancel a program like TRT or HRT at any time. Keep in mind that your body will go back to before you start the program if you do stop the doctor's protocol. You will have the same hormonal deficiencies as before you started the program, possibly with greater severity as you age further.
Q. Can I have kids if I do TRT?
A. Yes, you can still have kids, even while on a TRT program. When you are ready, we can help you start a specific protocol to help your body create the necessary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to help you have kids.
Q. What details can you tell me about your weight loss program?
A. Our medical weight loss program provides you with a holistic approach toward reaching your weight loss goals. We'll help improve every area of your body responsible for metabolism, energy, hormones, and every part of your body that will help burn fat and maintain a healthy weight.
