View pageWho is a candidate for the 3-Phase Body Reset?
The Body Reset is designed for adults who want physician-supervised medical weight loss and lasting results — not just a temporary drop on the scale. GLP-1 medication (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) may be part of your plan when appropriate, alongside nutrition, coaching, and body-composition tracking. Our team reviews your health history, metabolic profile, and goals during a consultation to determine the right starting point for you.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Most of our patients in Fairfax lose between 5 and 10 pounds per month, particularly in the first 2 to 3 months. Actual results vary based on starting weight, metabolism, consistency with coaching, and other individual factors. We focus on fat loss and body composition rather than just scale weight, so improvements often appear early.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a private-pay practice, so there are no insurance hassles — care is comprehensive and personalized without insurance billing restrictions. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds, and we're happy to provide documentation you can submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement. Ask our team during your consultation.
Do you serve all of Northern Virginia?
Yes. Our clinic is located in Fairfax, VA and serves patients from throughout Fairfax County, Tysons, Reston, Arlington, Loudoun County, and the broader Northern Virginia region. We also offer telehealth follow-ups for established patients.
Body Reset
View pageHow fast will I lose weight?
Most of our patients lose between 5–10 pounds per month, especially in the first 2 to 3 months. Results vary based on your starting weight, metabolism, and consistency — but we focus on fat loss, not just scale weight, so you'll notice changes in your body composition early on.
Do I need to exercise to see results?
Not at first — but eventually, yes. In the beginning, we focus on nutrition, medication when appropriate, and metabolism reset. As your energy improves, we guide you into simple, sustainable movement. Our goal is to help you build a healthy lifestyle, not overwhelm you with a strict workout plan.
What makes the Body Reset different from other clinics?
Most programs stop at weight loss. The Body Reset is built around what happens after the weight comes off — combining GLP-1 (when appropriate) with expert nutrition, unlimited body scans, real-time coaching, and a proprietary metabolism support supplement, then a maintenance strategy that keeps it off.
Can I stop taking the medication once I hit my goal?
Yes. The Body Reset includes a tapering plan that teaches you how to maintain your weight through lifestyle and nutrition. Some patients continue on a low-dose maintenance plan, but many are able to stop completely with continued success.
Is the Body Reset safe for people with thyroid issues, menopause, or prediabetes?
Yes — in fact, those are the patients we specialize in helping. We see many people who've struggled with hormone shifts, insulin resistance, or metabolic imbalances. Our approach is designed to support your entire system, not just suppress appetite.
Will I have support if I have questions or concerns during the program?
Always. Our patients get 24/7 access to our support team, regular check-ins with your provider, and monthly meetings with your nutritionist. You're never doing this alone — we're your personal health and wellness team.
Maintenance
View pageCan I stop medication entirely?
Yes. Your provider helps you taper off or adjust your GLP-1 dose at a pace that fits your body. Some patients stay on a low dose when that's the right fit, and many stop completely while keeping the weight off through nutrition, habits, and monthly support.
Will I regain the weight after stopping GLP-1s?
Keeping the weight off is what this phase is for. Monthly check-ins, body scans, nutrition targets, and habit support are built so your weight stays steady — typically within a few pounds of your goal — without restriction, burnout, or a crash diet.
Is maintenance support ongoing?
Yes. You'll check in monthly with your team, get body scans, nutrition guidance, and support through the VA app and community. Maintenance is continuity, not a one-time handoff.
What if I still have a few pounds left to lose?
You can keep going. When continued low-dose GLP-1 medication is appropriate, established patients get exclusive private-pay pricing with provider oversight and dose adjustments, plus body scans to confirm you're holding your results.
