The simple answer is no, and here’s why:
Insurance companies often don’t cover weight loss medications because they don’t deem them “medically necessary.” Even when they do cover medications, the costs are usually much higher than paying out of pocket.
The same applies to lab work. Insurance companies require a specific “reason” for ordering certain labs, and even if they cover it, the costs can be significantly higher.
Additionally, insurance companies tend to tie my hands by dictating what I can and cannot do for my patients. They impose strict requirements and often act as though they know more about your health than I do.
By not working with insurance, I’m free to provide the best care possible without limitations. This allows me to treat my patients in a way that I know works, so results are not restricted by what an insurance company thinks is necessary.
At Exploring Your Health, my priority is you—not the insurance companies.
For your convenience, monthly visits are done primarily virtual but should you require in-person attention, we are here to accommodate you. It is preferred that you have the type of scale at home that reads weight, lean mass, and fat mass so we can properly monitor lean muscle composition and make sure the proper type of weight is being lost.
Instructions for how to draw up the medication should be included in your box upon delivery. Our staff will review how to inject with you. All weight loss medication is injected into an area of fat – inner thigh, abdomen, hip, back of arm. Care must be taken to ensure you are drawing up the proper number of units for your dose – if in doubt, message us to clarify!
The goal is to lose around 4-6 pounds per month. When it comes to weight loss, slow and steady truly wins the race. While rapid weight loss might seem appealing, it is often unsustainable and can lead to negative health consequences. A gradual approach is better and here is why:
Preserves Muscle Mass – Quick weight loss often leads to the loss of both fat and muscle. Maintaining muscle is crucial for a healthy metabolism and overall strength. Gradual weight loss allows your body to burn fat while preserving lean muscle mass.
Supports Long-Term Results – Rapid weight loss is often followed by equally rapid weight regain. Slow weight loss helps build healthier habits over time, making it more likely that you’ll maintain your results in the long run.
Reduces Health Risks – losing weight too quickly can strain your body, leading to potential health risks like gallstones, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal imbalances. A slower process is safer and allows your body to adjust naturally.
Encourages Sustainable Lifestyle Changes – Weight loss isn’t just about the number on the scale – it’s about transforming your habits and overall lifestyle. Gradual weight loss gives you time to implement sustainable changes in your diet, exercise, and mindset.
Improves Energy and Well-Being – Rapid weight loss can leave you feeling fatigued and depleted. A slower approach allows your body to adapt, keeping your energy levels stable and improving your overall sense of well-being.

Your medication dose is carefully tailored to your individual needs. Here’s how we determine the best dose for you:
· Symptoms and Side Effects: We monitor any symptoms or side effects you may be experiencing to ensure your comfort and safety.
· Progress and Weight Loss: Your dose may be adjusted based on how much weight you’ve lost and how well you’re responding to the treatment.
· Adherence to the Plan: Your commitment to the treatment plan and lifestyle changes plays a role in determining the most effective dose.
Our ultimate goal is to find the lowest dose possible with the least side effects while still achieving the greatest results. It’s important to note that the best dose for one person isn’t always the best dose for another, which is why this program is highly personalized.
Monthly visits with your provider are essential to ensure you’re losing weight properly and that your dose is optimized for your specific needs. This ongoing monitoring allows us to make adjustAdherence to the Plan:ments as needed for your success.
Weight loss medications and treatment plans are designed to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively. However, as with any medication or treatment, there are potential side effects. These vary depending on the specific medication and your individual response. Below are some common side effects and considerations:
· Gastrointestinal symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating or gas
· Changes in appetite: decreased appetite, feeling full more quickly than usual
· Fatigue or low energy: adapting to changes in caloric intake and metabolism affects this
· Headaches or dizziness: particularly if not drinking enough water or managing nutrition effectively
· Other Potential Side Effects: heart rate changes, mood changes, dry mouth
No, compounded weight loss medications are not FDA approved. However, here’s what that means and why they are still a valid option for many patients:
What Are Compounded Medications?
Compounded medications are custom-made by specialized pharmacies to meet the unique needs of a patient. They are created by combining, altering, or mixing ingredients to provide a medication tailored to your specific requirements. This customization can be especially helpful for patients who may need a specific dose or formulation that isn’t commercially available.
Why Aren’t They FDA Approved?
The FDA does not approve compounded medications because they are not mass-produced like commercial drugs. Instead, they are made individually for each patient by a licensed compounding pharmacy. While the medications used in compounding may contain FDA-
approved ingredients, the final compounded product itself does not undergo the same FDA approval process.
Are Compounded Medications Safe?
When prescribed by a qualified provider and prepared by a reputable compounding pharmacy, compounded medications can be safe and effective. However, it’s important to work with experienced healthcare providers who ensure proper dosing, quality, and oversight.
Why Choose Compounded Weight Loss Medications?
Compounded medications can offer:
· Customization: Doses tailored specifically to your needs.
· Accessibility: Alternatives to commercial medications that may be unavailable or too expensive.
· Affordability: Often a more cost-effective option compared to brand-name medications.
At Exploring Your Health, we only work with trusted compounding pharmacies to ensure the highest quality and safety standards. If you have concerns about compounded medications, we are happy to discuss your options and answer any questions to ensure you feel confident in your treatment plan.
