Question 1

How long does it take to get results from allergy testing?

Accepted Answer

Most IgE allergy test results are available within a few days to a week. Your provider will review your results and help you understand which allergens are affecting you and how to manage them effectively.

Question 2

Is allergy testing painful?

Accepted Answer

The test requires a simple blood draw, which may cause mild discomfort, similar to routine lab work. The procedure is quick and well-tolerated, with no downtime required afterward.

Question 3

Can I do this test if I’m already following a specific diet?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! This test provides valuable insights into your body’s needs, empowering you to enhance your current diet with a deeper understanding of your health.

Question 4

What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Accepted Answer

Semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite and blood sugar. Tirzepatide works on two hormone pathways — GLP-1 and GIP — providing a broader metabolic effect that may offer greater appetite control, improved insulin sensitivity, and more significant visceral fat reduction for some patients. Both are excellent options; your provider will help determine the right fit for your goals.

Question 5

How soon will I see results?

Accepted Answer

Results vary by individual, but many clients notice reduced appetite and improved energy within the first few weeks. More significant changes in body composition typically develop over 1–3 months, and are greatly enhanced by consistent nutrition, hydration, and strength training habits alongside the medication.

Question 6

Do I need to exercise while on GLP-1 medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes — strength training is one of the most important factors in your outcome. Without resistance exercise, muscle loss can occur alongside fat loss, which can slow metabolism over time. We recommend 4–5 resistance-based sessions per week plus daily movement for the best, most sustainable results.

Question 7

What if I don't feel hungry — do I still need to eat?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. GLP-1 medications can significantly reduce appetite — sometimes to the point where food feels unnecessary. However, under-eating can lead to muscle loss and metabolic slowdown. We recommend committing to three balanced, nourishing meals daily regardless of hunger levels to keep your body properly fueled and supported.

Question 8

What does the monthly membership include?

Accepted Answer

All programs include your medication, provider guidance, and ongoing support for sustainable results. Semaglutide is $349/month and tirzepatide is $589/month. Your provider will personalize your treatment plan to support both short-term results and long-term success.

Question 9

Is L-Carnitine included or available as an add-on?

Accepted Answer

Your provider may recommend combining GLP-1 medications with L-carnitine when clinically appropriate. L-carnitine plays a key role in transporting fatty acids into cells where they are converted into energy, supporting more efficient fat metabolism and improved energy levels alongside your GLP-1 therapy.
