Frequently Asked Questions

  • Metabolic health refers to how your body:

    • Uses energy from food

    • Regulates hunger and fullness

    • Manages blood sugar

    • Supports steady energy levels

  • GLP-1 and GIP are hormones your body naturally makes. They help your body recognize when you are hungry and when you are full and play a role in how your body uses energy.

    Some prescription medications are designed to work with these natural systems as part of medically guided care. Education and individualized medical evaluation are always the first step in evaluating whether these options are appropriate.

  • Peptides are naturally occurring compounds in the body made from building blocks called amino acids. They help the body send simple messages that support everyday functions

  • Peptide therapy is different from dietary supplements or protein products and is discussed as part of medically guided care. Peptides are discussed in medical wellness care because they are used to interact with existing systems in the body rather than provide nutrition. Instead of feeding the body like protein does, peptides are selected to work alongside processes the body already uses.

  • NAD+ is a natural substance found in every cell of your body that helps turn food into energy. It plays an important role in how your cells function, repair themselves, and respond to stress over time.

    Levels of NAD+ naturally decline with age and stress, which is why it is often discussed in conversations about energy, mental clarity, and overall cellular health

  • Lab work may be ordered as part of your visit to help review your symptoms and medical history. This will be discussed during your consultation.
