FAQ
Medical weight loss program — common questions
What does "physician-supervised" get me that a telehealth app doesn't?
A physician, for a start — someone who takes your history in person rather than through a questionnaire, watches how you respond, and adjusts. And access to the rest of a longevity practice, which matters because weight is rarely a standalone problem. A subscription app has one product and therefore one answer. We have a building full of them.
What's included in the monthly price?
Your medication and the ongoing support around it — physician oversight, follow-ups, and coaching. Roughly twelve weeks is what it takes to titrate properly and see whether your body is responding, and your physician will map that out with you at your consultation rather than sell you a package before anyone has assessed you.
What happens once you're at a working dose?
That's a conversation, and it's the one most programs avoid. Some people continue. Some taper. Some are ready to hold what they've built with the habits and the muscle they now have. What we won't do is put you on an indefinite auto-renew and stop asking the question.
Do I have to inject myself?
Not if you don't want to. Most people self-inject — the needle is small and it's a weekly thing, and clients are usually surprised how quickly it becomes unremarkable. If you'd rather not, in-office injections are available for an additional $100/month and you come see us instead.
Are there side effects?
Yes, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. Nausea, appetite changes, and GI effects are common, particularly during titration. That's precisely why we start low and increase gradually rather than chase a fast number, and why physician oversight is worth what it costs. Individual results vary.
Is financing available?
Yes — Cherry and CareCredit. Ask us at your consult and we'll walk you through it.
The details
Medical weight loss program, in full
Real weight loss, medically supervised
No fads, no guessing. Our physician-supervised program pairs proven GLP-1 medications with coaching and ongoing support — built around you.
That last phrase does real work. Two people at the same weight can have completely different things going on underneath — thyroid, insulin resistance, hormones, sleep, inflammation. Handing both the same drug at the same dose and wishing them luck is the model most of this industry runs on. It’s not ours.
What the program is
A physician consult first. Before anything is prescribed, we sit down with you. Your history, what you’ve already tried, and what you’re actually working toward — because handing out a GLP-1 without that conversation is how the rest of this industry operates. No labs, no waiting on bloodwork — GLP-1 prescriptions don’t require them, so we don’t make you do them.
Physician review. Someone qualified weighs your history against your goals, and decides whether this is the right tool for you.
A twelve-week initial program. Medication, titrated properly. Follow-ups. Coaching.
Ongoing support. The part that determines whether any of this holds.

Which one suits you is a clinical question rather than a budget one, and it’s covered in detail on our GLP-1 comparison page.
Why twelve weeks
Because that’s genuinely how long it takes to titrate a GLP-1 properly and find out whether your body is responding.
Shorter than that and you’re still climbing the dose ladder — you’d be judging a medication you haven’t reached the working range of yet. Twelve weeks is a runway. It’s long enough to know something, and short enough that it’s a decision rather than a commitment.
And when it ends, we have a conversation. Some people continue. Some taper. Some are ready to hold what they’ve built. What we won’t do is quietly auto-renew you forever and stop asking — which is the actual business model of a lot of what’s being marketed to you right now.
The thing GLP-1s don’t do
They reduce appetite. Powerfully, for most people. What they do not do is decide what you eat when you’re not hungry, protect your muscle while you lose weight, or fix the reasons your metabolism got where it is.
That’s why coaching is in the program rather than sold as an add-on. Losing weight fast while losing muscle at the same rate is not a result anyone should be proud of selling you — and it’s the most common failure mode of an unsupervised GLP-1.
Why a longevity practice, of all places
Because weight is rarely a standalone problem, and Helix is the rare weight-loss provider that can follow the thread somewhere else.
If the conversation points at hormones, TRT is down the hall. If it’s recovery and inflammation, so is the biohacking suite. If you want the full diagnostic picture, functional lab testing is there when you want it.
A weight-loss clinic sells you weight loss. That’s the whole menu, so that’s the whole diagnosis. We’d rather be able to say “this isn’t a GLP-1 problem” and then do something about it.
