Insurance
Will insurance pay for this?
Unfortunately, this level of care is not supported by current insurance carriers. For this reason, we do not accept insurance or provide superbills. However, we will work closely with your insurance to try to get medications and lab work covered.
How do I know if my insurance will cover any medication?
Check with your insurance to learn more about the medications they cover. You can contact us for a list of medications we often prescribe.
Will my insurance company cover my lab work?
You can call your insurance company to find out what blood work they cover. Tests we order for patients include: Basic Metabolic Panel, Magnesium, Hepatic Panel, CBC, Iron and TIBC, Ferritin, TSH, HA1c, Insulin, Lipid Panel, Vitamin D and Vitamin B12.
What’s your refund policy?
Given the nature of the educational workshops and program format, we cannot issue refunds. However, our success rate is high—90% of participants lose 10-15% of body weight within six months!
Program Details
How is this program different?
Aside from our unique approach, the Weight Biology Reset blends features that other programs don’t. It includes medical management, shared group learning, and online resources. It’s not an app, so there’s real-person interaction with a board-certified obesity medicine physician.
Does this include meal plans?
The Weight Biology Reset does not include meal plans. Instead, we focus on the underlying reasons for weight gain or feeling out of control around food. We’ll empower you with a simple framework for nutrition—one that doesn’t leave you hungry all the time.
How do virtual appointments work?
We use a HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platform for all communications, including video chat appointments. It’s easy to log in from your phone or computer.
How much time do I need to commit to the Weight Biology Reset?
We want to make sure you have the energy to commit to your health. But we’ve crafted the program to be as easy and time-protective as possible. Each week, we’ll have a one-hour workshop. Then, we’ll give you simple follow-up tasks that take only 10 minutes a day.
Can I do your program if I am vegan or have a food allergy?
We don’t prescribe specific meal plans, so you can make this work for whatever restrictions you may have.
What’s next after the program is done?
As you’ll learn, weight loss is a journey. After you master the initial foundations, you’ll establish your next steps with Dr. Sowa. You can elect to continue seeing Dr. Sowa in her private practice, or we can help transition your medication management to your primary care provider.
I don’t have 100 lbs. to lose. Can I join?
Absolutely. It doesn’t matter what your specific weight is—if struggling with your metabolic health is part of your life, this program will help you feel your best.
What happens after the program?
As you’ll learn, weight loss is a journey. After you master the initial foundations, you’ll establish your next steps with Dr. Sowa. You can either continue seeing Dr. Sowa or we can help transition your medication management to your primary care provider.
Attendance
What if the group times don’t work for me?
All workshops will be recorded (except the group sharing parts), so you can watch the videos when it’s convenient for you.
What if I don’t want to participate in group sessions?
