How is the TCMD different than other weight loss programs?
Through the latest medical research we aim to treat the root cause and not each symptom individually. Through the latest medical research we aim to correct the problem ultimately eliminating all of the symptoms. We do this without using drugs or surgery. Our program is completely natural.
What type of results can I expect from this program?
In the first two weeks every patient will have detectable and measurable change. Within 7-15 days, a dramatic shift in weight (usually 7-15 lbs) is typical and is also accompanied by: improved energy, restored sleeping habits, a reduction in pharmaceutical medication (if applicable), improved blood pressure and improved cholesterol. Lastly, within 45 days results are confirmed by follow-up blood tests.
What can I expect during my initial consultation?
At the initial consultation you will be meeting with one of our highly qualified medical providers. During the consultation your provider will do a complete medical exam and review your medical history with you. Your provider will request the necessary diagnostic testing to determine any dysfunction that may be occurring in your system.
These tests will determine whether you are a good candidate for our program. Your provider will review the test results with you and get you started on the program best suited for your needs. This typically happens in your second visit.
Once on a program, it is extremely important to maintain all follow-up appointments to ensure proper medical care and to monitor progress, and program effectiveness.
Can I participate in this program without the guidance of a TCMD medical professional?
At TCMD we have a support staff on board to help you with the transition into your new lifestyle. Achieving overall health and making lifestyle changes on your own can be challenging. Patients on our program are successful because every patient is medically evaluated, treated, motivated and supported by our medical team of experts. In order to continue achieving optimal results, patients are provided ongoing medical attention and information through tests and education. This process allows patients to meet their personal wellness goals.
Will I have to eat special food?
No special food. All of the food on our program is easy to find and readily available in grocery stores. We also provide you with all the information and guidance needed to learn which foods are right for your specific body and encourage you to eat what you enjoy. This is not a salad only diet or a calorie restricted plan!
Will I have to take medication?
No medications. Our desire is to eliminate as many current medications as possible and prevent you from taking any additional medications. Many of our patient’s medical prescriptions have actually been reduced or eliminated within the first few months of treatment.
Other weight loss clinics do not take insurance. How is TCMD able to accept insurance?
Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolic Disorder results in continuous weight gain. This is a medically diagnosed condition that requires medical testing and evaluation and oversight by a physician. Other weight loss clinics are only focused on losing weight. We treat your metabolic disorders and your weight loss is actually a side effect or benefit of becoming healthier!
Please see our insurance tab for all details and information regarding insurance.
I am on a variety of medications, can I still participate?
Absolutely! One of the main goals of our physicians is to help you become healthier and less dependent on prescription medication or any medication overall.
I have Diabetes, can I be on the program?
Absolutely! We currently have many diabetic patients on our program who respond especially well to our unique treatment approach.
What type of Doctors work in your clinic?
All of our physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses are board certified. Our medical staff possesses over 50 years of combined experience.
Do I have to sign a contract or pay in advance?
We do not require patients to pay in advance. However, if a patient requires a payment program we do have payment plans available.
