GETTING STARTED
What You Need to Know
Provider Consultation
Your provider will take time during your initial consultation to discuss your health history, current weight, your goals, review your BMI, order labs, and develop a weight loss plan with prescription medication.
Medication Review
Our nurse practitioner weight loss specialist will go through the injection instructions and also guide you in how to inject properly at home (once-weekly). We'll answer any questions you may have about the medication and place your initial order!
Lose Weight & Track Progress
We'll meet once a month (in person or via tele-health) to review your progress, answer any questions you may have, and order your next month's supply of medication.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my medication?
We have partnered with compounding pharmacies to provide all our patients with their medication. The pharmacy will ship your medication to you. Shipping times vary throughout the year, it typically takes 2 business days to receive your medication.
How do I store my medication?
Your medication should be stored in the refrigerator when not in use. If you happen to be traveling, it does NOT need to be packed on ice. Just place the medication in the refrigerator when you arrive at your destination.
My medication still hasn’t been delivered. How do I check the status ?
Please contact the pharmacy for this information. Once we send the prescription to them, we do not have any way of viewing the status of your medication.
How frequently do I take my medication?
It is a once-weekly injection. You may take it in the morning, afternoon, or evening—whichever time works best with your schedule.
What if I miss a dose?
Don’t panic! The medication has a 4-day window of time in which to take your dose and stay on track with your dosing regimen. If you are 5 days past your dosing date, then the recommendation is to skip that current week and resume the next week on your regular dosing day.

Pellet FAQs
What is BHRT?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is a form of hormone therapy that has existed in the U.S. for many decades and uses hormones that are structurally similar to those found within the human body.
Why Biote hormones?
Bioidentical hormones, such as the ones used by Biote, work with the body’s chemistry because they closely replicate the molecular structure of the hormones that normally occur within the body.
What is Pellet Therapy?
Biote Certified Providers receive training on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in the form of subcutaneous pellets. These pellets are inserted into the upper buttocks area during an in-office visit after testing is done to determine the exact quantity of the hormone the patient requires. Every dose is customized based on a consultation and extensive lab work to ensure a patient receives the exact concentration of hormones needed.
How Long do Pellets Last?
Pellets last up to three to six months depending on gender, weight, absorption rates, and the amount of deficiency or surplus of hormones present within the patient at the time of insertion. Pellets are reinserted between two to four times per year to help keep hormones optimized and balanced and may take up to two insertions before feeling the full benefits.
What Happens to Pellets?
Since pellets are bioidentical and contain hormones like those our body produces, pellets are completely dissolved and absorbed, leaving nothing behind.
Discontinuing Pellets?
Every person’s body is different, but at the end of a pellet cycle or when stopping pellet therapy altogether, symptoms of fatigue, low mood and sleeplessness may recur. Typically, the patient’s symptoms will return to the same state prior to BHRT as their estrogen and testosterone levels begin to drop.

What is Dysport?
FAQs
How Dysport Works?
Dysport™ works by simply relaxing the muscles underneath the skin to create a smooth, refreshed appearance.
How Quickly Does it take Effect?
It can take UP TO 2 WEEKS for it to take full effect, but many patients begin to see results in 1-2 days. Usually, we ask patients to wait for 14 days to pass in order to fully see the results
How Long Does it Last?
It is FDA-approved to last 4 months. Clinically, it lasts 3-4 months on average, but everyone is different. If you follow our providers’ directions to have your first 3 treatments promptly every 3 months, you will find that your next few treatments will start to last longer than 3 months.
IV Infusion Therapy
Myers’ Cocktail
MagnesiumChloride *Dexpanthenol*Thiamine**Riboflavin-5-PhosPyridoxineHCL*
Niacinamide*CalciumGluconate*Hydroxocobalamin
The Myers Cocktail is the “Gold Standard” for delivering intravenous vitamins and minerals directly to your bloodstream. Dr. John Myers pioneered this use of intravenous nutrient therapy in the 1960s. The Myers’ Cocktail may help with:
- Immunity boosting
- Preventive therapy for cold & flu season
- Reduction of fatigue
- Sports performance
- Hangover remedy
frEQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is a Myer’s Cocktail administered?
A Myers’ cocktail IV treatment is administered intravenously and requires a licensed healthcare professional to deliver the treatment. Depending on the infusion rate and total bag volume, the treatment usually takes between 30-90 minutes and usually involves minimal pain.
Why Intravenous vs Oral?
So why not just take these vitamins orally? When taken orally, these same types of vitamins may not be fully absorbed by the digestive system. Many of these vitamins may also upset the digestive tract and can only be taken in small doses orally, limiting the amount of vitamins available for absorption.
How Often are Treatments Administered?
It is up to the healthcare practitioner and the patient to decide treatment schedule that will be most beneficial for the patient. In some cases, optimal results may come with one IV per week over three weeks. If severely fatigued or peristent migraines, two treatments per week may better serve these needs. Some patients benefit from occasional treatments every three to four months to support immune function.
