what is the process?

We’ve streamlined our program to provide a user friendly, hassle free experience.

1. Check out the website, make sure you qualify, and choose an appointment that works for you and confirm with your credit card. A Welcome package with instructions for injecting, privacy documents & consent forms, as well as Portal access, will be sent on a secure link to your email which you should fill out prior to your Telehealth visit. You will be able to upload blood work and your photo Identification as well. If you do not have blood work with in the last year, you can take the lab slip to the nearest blood draw facility of your choice (This is an out pf pocket expense if not covered by your insurance. We recommend calling your chosen lab for pricing).

2. Once the clinician sees you and you qualify for medication, the medication/ duration secure link will be sent to your email for you to order. Once paid with a credit card your medication and injection supplies will ship to your chosen address. You will be able to set up clinician visits & nurse visits at that time or defer for later. The nurse can also set up those appointments for you via phone or email.

3. Inject the prescribed dose weekly or take Oral medication daily.

4. Log into the Portal to renew your medication around week 3 if doing monthly medications so you do not run out. Clinician visits and nursing visits appointments can be made at that time or you can have the nurse help you.

I need to cancel my appointment

Initial consults can be cancelled free of charge if cancelled greater than 48 hours. Follow up visits can be canceled at no charge at anytime.

Once in the program you pay for the monthly monitoring that includes the prescribed medication and syringes+ alcohol wipes for the duration of your purchased treatment. There are no refunds for medication or monitoring once purchased for any duration of monitoring or medication not used. You are only billed for the medication with regular clinician monitoring that you choose and pay for at the start of each cycle (typically 1 or 2 months). To stop the program simply do not renew the medication + monitoring. If you decide to stop the program for 60 days or more a new initial consult will be needed and possibly blood work as well when you return. We do ask that if stopping the program you reach out to us at info@AdiposityClinic.com with the reason, as we may have a solution for your continuation of the program. We want you to Succeed!

Are Compounded GLP-1 Agonists safe?

Compounding Pharmacies are able to produce GLP-1 Agonists since they are on the FDA Shortage List. The pharmacy must procure active ingredients from facilities registered with the FDA, adhering to Current Good Manufacturing Practices. Medications may only be dispensed with a valid prescription from a licensed physician.

We only USA-based compounding pharmacies; Accredited by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) for compliance, a service provided by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) who have met our quality, sterility and safe shipping standards for their weight loss medications, licensed to dispense medications to the state jurisdictions served by THE ADIPOSITY CLINIC.

What are the potential out of pocket expenses?

The ADIPOSITY CLINIC PROGRAM includes monitoring + compounded GLP-1 Agonist medication and enough syringes + alcohol wipes for your duration of paid treatment. Addition syringes, Alcohol wipes, or needle disposal containers are out of pocket expenses. Additionally any symptomatic relief medication prescribed or blood work may not be covered by your insurance and will be out of pocket expenses.

how often do I need Blood work?

Blood work consists of a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) to make sure no injury to your liver or kidneys is happening from the GLP-1 medication. Typically during your first year you obtain blood work initially if you do not already have blood work in the last year, at 6 weeks of treatment, then in 3 months following your last blood work and finally 6 months from previous blood work . If you are tolerating medication after the first year every 6 months to a your annual blood work may suffice. Additional blood work may be required at the clinicians discretion.

Blood work labs slips will be provided that you can take to any blood lab you choose. this may be an out of pocket expense if your insurance does not cover it.

Are there instructions for injecting?

Upon securing your initial consult with a clinician, documents will be sent to your email with a secure link for you to fill out before your appointment. Included will be a patient Instruction pamphlet. Additionally we have created generalized injecting videos that can be found on our website.

How long does it take to get the medication?

Medication usually arrives in 5 to 7 days, often turn around time is faster. Weather conditions may lead to longer shipping times, so far we have not seen that.

The ice packs appear melted. is that okay?

We only use Accredited USA based pharmacies that we have found are committed to excellence, quality and safe shipping practices. They have performed shipping studies and have found the GLP-1 Agonists heated to 104F for 7 days showed 99% or greater activity. Since it takes Ice packs time to melt, your medication should arrive well within a normal activity time frame. It is important once your medication arrives to keep it refrigerated.

Do I have to Diet and exercise too?

There is no special diet or exercise required to see weight loss with GLP-1 Agonists. Weight loss can be increased by following a diet or exercise plan.

Most academic health websites recommend eating a well-balanced diet, avoiding processed foods, high fatty foods and heavy refined carbs like pasta, and alcohol.

Generalized review of the literature recommendations is to have adequate protein representing 25% to 30% of your calories per day, roughly 1 gram of Protein per 2.2 lbs of body weight per day. Fiber intake is important, as well as, staying hydrated. The American Medical Association references a study based off the Mediterranean diet that suggests they support it as a high quality diet.

The CDC and American Heart Association recommend for most healthy adults to get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity physical activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise per week.
