FAQS

The Blueprint Discovery is your starting point — a comprehensive, in-person evaluation where we uncover your body’s unique blueprint for weight loss. It includes advanced lab work, phenotype testing, metabolic analysis, and a detailed review of your medical history, lifestyle, and goals. You’ll also receive a follow-up results review visit, where we explain your findings and outline your personalized treatment plan.

The Reveal Program is where that plan comes to life. Over 6 months, we implement and fine-tune your treatment through ongoing medical visits, health coaching, nutrition guidance, and any necessary prescriptions. The Blueprint Discovery tells us exactly what to do; the Reveal Program is where we do it together to help you achieve lasting results.

Most weight loss programs follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all protocol that leaves little room for personalization—or for adjusting the plan when something isn’t working. They often lack the time and resources to truly understand your biology, teach you the “why” behind the process, or provide consistent, high-level support.

At Reveal, we use advanced testing and the B.L.U.E. Print Method™ to create a plan that’s as unique as you are. We fine-tune your treatment along the way, provide ongoing education so you understand your progress, and give you direct access to your provider and health coach. You’re never left to figure it out alone.

The Reveal Premium Weight Loss Program is a 6-month commitment, designed to deliver intensive, results-focused care during this period. Some patients reach their goals and transition to a maintenance plan after 6 months. Others may still need ongoing intensive treatment beyond this timeframe—especially if we are seeing progress but need more time to achieve your full goals. In these cases, we adjust your plan and continue working closely with you. Intensive treatment is not always necessary beyond 6 months, even if you haven’t fully reached your goal, as long as your progress is steady and other health markers are improving.

Your program includes all medical visits with the provider, advanced genetic and metabolic testing, labs, health coaching, nutrition oversight by a licensed dietitian, fitness design by a certified personal trainer with virtual follow ups, body composition scale to keep at home with remote monitoring, and access to our online learning modules and resources. You’ll also receive ongoing support between visits through secure messaging. Medication costs are not included, but we’ll handle prior authorizations to help maximize insurance coverage. Meal replacement options are availabe for an additional fee.

You may be a candidate if you’ve struggled with weight loss despite your best efforts, have tried other programs without lasting success, or want a medically guided approach that takes a comprehensive look all factors related to your weight, including your genetics, physiology, lifestyle, etc. The best way to know is to start with the Blueprint Discovery Consult, where we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to lay the groundwork for your plan.

Yes! Eating out is absolutely allowed. We’ll help you learn how to make mindful choices at restaurants, navigate menus, and stay aligned with your goals without feeling restricted or left out. This program is built for real life, not perfection.

Meal replacements are nutritionally balanced alternatives to regular meals, designed to support your weight loss journey while ensuring you get the necessary protein, vitamins, and minerals. These can include shakes, bars, or portion-controlled meals that help simplify meal planning and maintain consistency. While not required, they can be a convenient tool for busy days or structured weight management. If you choose to incorporate meal replacements, we’ll help you select options that align with your personalized nutrition plan and health goals.

Most patients in The Reveal Program will benefit from medication as part of their personalized plan. When used alongside lifestyle and behavioral changes, the right medication can accelerate progress, make it easier to manage hunger, and improve your body’s response to weight loss efforts. We prescribe only FDA-approved weight loss medications and other safe, evidence-based options commonly used for weight management. Every prescription is chosen for your unique biology and needs—never just because it’s trendy or worked for someone else

While individual results vary, research shows that patients treated according to their phenotype lose twice as much weight on average compared to those receiving standard, non-personalized treatment. In our program, advanced testing allows us to match your treatment to your unique biology, dramatically improving your chances of long-term success.

Many patients notice measurable changes within the first few weeks, such as reduced cravings, increased energy, and early fat loss. Over the course of the program, it’s common to see clinically significant weight loss—meaning a reduction of at least 5–10% of starting body weight, which can greatly improve health markers like blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Some patients exceed these numbers, especially when medication, nutrition, movement, and behavioral strategies are fully aligned with their phenotype.

Our goal is not just rapid weight loss—it’s sustainable change. By addressing the root causes, you’re far more likely to maintain your results long after the program ends.

You’re exactly who this program was designed for. If you’ve struggled despite eating well, exercising, or trying multiple diets and medications, chances are no one has fully addressed the underlying biological, behavioral, and environmental factors keeping you stuck. The Reveal Program uses advanced testing, phenotype analysis, and a tailored approach to remove the guesswork—so your plan finally matches your needs.

If your insurance denies coverage for a prescribed weight loss medication, we will:

• Assist with prior authorization and appeals to maximize your chances of approval.
• Explore alternative medications that may be more affordable or better covered.
• Discuss self-pay options, including manufacturer savings programs or discount pharmacies.

If needed, we can also adjust your treatment plan to ensure you still achieve results without unnecessary financial burden.

If medication is indicated for your treatment plan, we’ll carefully select one based on your phenotype, health history, and personal preferences to maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects.

Some of the more common medications we may prescribe include:

• GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists

  • Semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®)
  • Liraglutide (Saxenda®, Victoza®)
  • Tirzepatide (Zepbound®)

• Appetite suppressants and combination medications

  • Phentermine (Adipex-P®, Lomaira®)
  • Phentermine/Topiramate ER (Qsymia®)
  • Bupropion/Naltrexone (Contrave®)
• Fat blockers
  • Orlistat Xenical® or Alli®)

• Other medications used off-label when clinically appropriate

  • Topiramate
  • Metformin
  • Spironolactone (for hormonal contributors to weight gain)
  • Bupropion

Currently, we do not offer B12 or MIC injections, as we focus on evidence-based treatments. We continually assess new treatment options and may include them in the future if supported by scientific research.

No. We do not prescribe HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) for weight loss.

HCG-based weight loss protocols have been widely discredited by scientific research and are not supported by evidence-based guidelines. The FDA has specifically warned against using HCG for weight loss due to safety concerns and lack of proven benefit.

At Reveal Wellness and Weight Loss, we are committed to providing safe, effective, and medically sound treatments. Our program is built on the latest obesity medicine research and includes only clinically proven tools. If medication is part of your plan, it will be chosen based on science, your medical history, and your unique phenotype to ensure the best possible outcomes.

If a medication is causing side effects, we’ll evaluate whether the dosage needs to be adjusted, a different medication would be better suited, or if it should be discontinued altogether. Your safety and comfort are top priorities. If you experience side effects during the program, we encourage you to reach out to your provider immediately. 

It’s possible, but not inevitable. Weight regain after stopping medication can happen if the underlying drivers of weight gain aren’t fully addressed. That’s why we never use medication as a standalone solution.

Our entire program is built to equip you with the tools, knowledge, and habits needed for long-term success, whether you're on medication or not. Throughout your journey, you’ll develop sustainable strategies for nutrition, movement, stress management, and mindset that go far beyond what any pill can do.

If medication is part of your plan, we’ll help you transition off thoughtfully and strategically. This includes monitoring how your body responds, adjusting your nutrition and physical activity plan, and continuing ongoing support through our Momentum Membership if you choose to stay connected.

The goal isn’t to keep you on medication forever. Our mission is to help you become stronger, more confident, and in control of your health no matter what tools you're using.

At this time, we do not accept Medicare, and our practice is unable to provide services to Medicare beneficiaries. Our weight loss program is designed as a highly individualized, concierge-style service, which does not align with Medicare’s coverage structure. To ensure the highest level of personalized care, we remain independent of Medicare guidelines and offer flexible payment options for those interested in our services.

Yes, we do. At Reveal Wellness and Weight Loss, we want to make high-quality, individualized care as accessible as possible. While full payment is required before starting the program, we offer financing options through CareCredit, which allows you to break the total cost into manageable monthly payments.

You can apply for CareCredit directly and, once approved, use it to cover the cost of your program. Apply here.

We also accept all major credit cards, health savings accounts (HSA), and flexible spending accounts (FSA) for eligible expenses, such as the MyPhenome® Test.

The Reveal Program is designed to start working for you right away, which means your journey begins the moment you enroll—immediately after your Blueprint Discovery Results Review. Because of this, enrollment is considered final, and refunds aren’t available.

We take time during your Results Review to walk you through your personalized plan, answer all of your questions, and make sure you feel completely confident before moving forward. We want you to say “yes” only when you’re ready and excited to begin.

If an unexpected situation arises after enrollment, please reach out to us directly. We’ll do our best to discuss your options and provide support based on your circumstances.

Yes! We accept Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards to pay for the program. However, reimbursement eligibility depends on your specific HSA/FSA provider and their guidelines. Generally, if the program is prescribed to treat a medical condition, such as obesity, you might qualify for reimbursement.

Our program is a highly personalized, concierge-style service that goes beyond what traditional insurance covers. Insurance typically only reimburses for brief, standardized visits and does not support the comprehensive metabolic testing, genetic analysis, personalized meal planning, health coaching, and ongoing high-touch support that our program provides.

By operating outside of insurance, we can focus entirely on delivering the highest level of individualized care without restrictions, delays, or unnecessary barriers to treatment. However, HSA and FSA funds may be used for program fees and eligible medical expenses.

If requested, we are happy to provide you with a superbill after each medical visit to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement which may cover some costs of the program.

If cost is a concern, we do offer financing options through CareCredit, if that is of interest to you. You can apply for CareCredit directly and, once approved, use it to cover the cost of your program. Apply here.
