How the Process Works
-
Schedule Your Consultation
Start with an appointment to discuss your goals, weight history, previous weight-loss efforts, medical conditions, and current medications.
-
Complete Your Health Evaluation
Your provider will review your health history and determine whether lab work or additional evaluation is needed before starting treatment.
-
Build Your Personalized Plan
Together, we’ll develop a plan that may include nutrition guidance, physical activity, lifestyle changes, and prescription medication when medically appropriate. Your plan will take your health needs, preferences, and budget into account.
-
Begin Treatment
We’ll explain your recommended treatment, how to use any prescribed medication, potential side effects, and when to contact us. If medication is prescribed, we’ll review the pharmacy process and associated costs.
-
Follow Up and Adjust
Follow-up appointments help us review your progress, discuss concerns, monitor your response, and make adjustments when needed. Continued prescriptions require appropriate follow-up and monitoring.
Who may benefit
Adults who want medical guidance and support with weight-related health goals, including people managing conditions affected by weight. Your evaluation helps determine which options are appropriate for you.
How appointments work
Your consultation and health evaluation start with a visit. Some follow-up visits may be available by telehealth when appropriate. Lab work and any needed exams happen in person.
What to Know Before Getting Started
- Treatment recommendations are based on an individual medical evaluation.
- Medication is not appropriate for everyone and is not guaranteed.
- Results and the time needed to reach your goals vary.
- Medication is priced separately from your starter visit. Contact us for current medication pricing.
How You Get Your Medication
If medication is right for you, we’ll talk through your options at your visit. Depending on your needs and what’s permitted by law, this may include a prescription sent to your pharmacy or medication prepared by a licensed pharmacy. We’ll explain the costs of each option before you decide.
About Compounded Medications
Wild Root Direct Care may prescribe compounded medications when determined medically appropriate for an individual patient and permitted by applicable law. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. All prescriptions are subject to individual medical evaluation and provider discretion. Results are not guaranteed and may vary from person to person.
Lab Work
Required Labs
Lab work helps us make sure treatment is safe for you and lets us track how your body is responding over time.
Labs we check
- CBC (complete blood count)
- CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel: kidney, liver, and blood sugar)
- Lipid profile (cholesterol)
- TSH (thyroid)
- HbA1c (average blood sugar over about 3 months)
Before you start
Baseline labs are included in your $75 starter visit (weight loss injections are not). If you’ve had these labs done by another provider within the past month, bring a copy of your results. Otherwise, we’ll draw them at your first visit.
Ongoing monitoring
We recheck these labs at 6 months and then once a year. Follow-up labs drawn at Wild Root Direct Care are $50 each time. You may also have them done by another provider and send us the results.
