Frequently asked questions.
Payment FAQs
Do you accept health insurance?
I do not accept any health insurance. I will provide a superbill for you on request for reimbursement. Reimbursement is your responsibility.
You can use funds from an HSA account
Cash, check, payment apps (venmo, paypal, cash app), and credit cards are welcome.
Some insurance plans do cover the cost of prescription medication and I do my best to get coverage including submission of prior authorizations. Medications can also be purchased out of pocket and the cost varies depending on the medication and the dosing.
Can I use my insurance to pay for labs?
Yes
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we accept all major credit cards and health savings cards
Body Contouring FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need 6–8 sessions (1–2 per week) for optimal fat reduction.
Is it painful?
Most describe it as a warm massage. Radiofrequency (RF) may feel like a hot stone treatment.
When will I see results?
You may notice initial tightening within 2 weeks; full results appear by 12 weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Contraindications: Pregnancy or nursing, pacemakers, active cancer, BMI over 30, liver/kidney disease.
Hijama (Cupping)
What’s the difference between dry and wet cupping?
Dry cupping improves circulation; wet cupping includes small incisions to draw out toxins.
How often should I get it?
Every 4–6 weeks for maintenance; 2–3 times/month for acute issues.
Do the bruises hurt?
No — they’re painless, but we recommend avoiding sun exposure for 48 hours post-treatment.
Contraindications: Blood thinners, hemophilia, severe anemia, open wounds.
BHRT for Women FAQs
How soon will I feel better?
Many women notice improved energy and sleep within 3–4 weeks; full benefits typically appear within 3 months.
Are bioidentical hormones safe?
Yes — when properly monitored by a licensed provider, they are considered safer than synthetic hormones (Mayo Clinic, 2023).
Will it cause weight gain?
No — properly dosed BHRT can actually improve metabolism and reduce fat retention.
Contraindications: Estrogen-sensitive cancers, uncontrolled hypertension, history of blood clots.
Metabolic Reset
Can I do this while on medications?
Yes! We’ll customize your plan to work alongside your current prescriptions (including diabetes-friendly options).
Are the recipes gluten- and dairy-free?
All meal plans can be adapted for allergies or food sensitivities.
Is exercise required?
No — but gentle movement is encouraged to support digestion and results.
Contraindications: Active eating disorders, late-stage cirrhosis.
Chronic Disease Management
Will this replace my doctor?
No — we collaborate with your existing providers (e.g., sharing glucose logs or labs).
Do you prescribe medication?
Yes — and we also support lifestyle changes that may reduce the need for long-term medication use.
How often are check-ins?
Weekly for the first month, then biweekly as your condition stabilizes.
Contraindications: Unstable angina, recent stroke, dialysis dependence.
Telehealth
What conditions can you treat virtually?
We offer lab reviews, hormone consultations, and chronic disease coaching. (Note: We do not prescribe controlled substances virtually.)
Can I use insurance?
We don’t bill insurance directly, but provide superbills for potential FSA/HSA reimbursement.
What if I need in-person care?
We’ll coordinate referrals to local partners such as labs or imaging centers.
