1. What makes MetFit-Rx different from other weight loss clinics?

MetFit-Rx focuses on improving your overall metabolic health, not just helping you loseweight. Our programs combine medical evaluation, lab monitoring, personalized

nutrition, exercise guidance, accountability, and medication support when appropriate. We create individualized treatment plans designed for sustainable, long-term results rather than quick fixes.

2. Do I have to take weight loss medication to be a patient?

No. While medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide can be effective tools for certain patients, they are never the sole focus of treatment. We develop personalized plans that may include nutrition coaching, exercise programming, lifestyle modification, and metabolic optimization with or without medication.

3. What happens during my initial consultation?

Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive medical review, discussion of yourhealth history, body composition analysis, metabolic evaluation, and goal assessment.

We use this information to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your uniqueneeds and objectives.

4. What is a metabolic evaluation?

A metabolic evaluation helps us identify factors that may be affecting your ability to lose weight or improve your health. This may include laboratory testing, body composition measurements, metabolic rate assessment, fitness evaluation, and screening for conditions such as insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, or other metabolic concerns.

5. What weight loss medications do you offer?

MetFit-Rx offers medical weight management options that may include semaglutide andtirzepatide when clinically appropriate. Your provider will determine if medication is right for you based on your medical history, health goals, and overall metabolic health.

6. What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Both medications help regulate appetite and support weight loss. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, while tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. During your consultation, we will discuss which option may be most appropriate based on yourhealth profile and treatment goals.

7. Do you offer customized dosing plans?

Yes. MetFit-Rx takes a personalized approach to treatment and may utilize individualized dosing strategies when clinically appropriate. This can help improve medication tolerance while allowing patients to progress safely under medical supervision.

8. What if I experience side effects from medication?

Our team closely monitors patients throughout treatment. If side effects occur, we can adjust your treatment plan, provide supportive recommendations, and work with you to improve comfort and safety while maintaining progress toward your goals.

9. Do I need lab work before starting a program?

Most patients undergo laboratory testing as part of their evaluation. Lab work helps identify underlying health conditions, assess metabolic health, and ensure that your treatment plan is safe and effective.

10. How often will I meet with my provider?

Follow-up schedules vary based on your treatment plan and goals. Most patients have regular check-ins to review progress, adjust treatment recommendations, monitor labs when needed, and maintain accountability throughout their journey.

11. Will I receive a personalized nutrition plan?

Absolutely. We believe nutrition is one of the most important factors in long-term metabolic health. Your provider will help develop a nutrition strategy that aligns with your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals. Plans may include high-protein, Mediterranean, low-glycemic, or other evidence-based approaches.

12. Do you provide exercise recommendations?

Yes. Exercise is a foundational component of every MetFit-Rx program. We provide personalized exercise recommendations based on your fitness level, goals, lifestyle, and any physical limitations.

13. How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary from person to person. Weight loss depends on factors such as starting weight, adherence to the program, underlying medical conditions, nutrition habits, physical activity, and whether medication is part of your treatment plan. During your consultation, we will help establish realistic expectations and measurable goals.

14. Is MetFit-Rx only for people who want to lose weight?
