FAQ´s
How do I know if I need medical weight loss?
If you’ve been trying to lose weight on your own but nothing seems to work, it may be time for a different approach. Many people struggle with weight loss due to factors beyond diet and exercise, such as hormonal imbalances, menopause, or metabolic challenges. When these underlying issues go unaddressed, even the most dedicated efforts can feel frustrating and ineffective.
Medical weight loss is designed for individuals who feel stuck despite their best attempts at traditional methods. It offers a personalized, science-backed approach that considers your body’s unique needs rather than relying on generic diet plans. If you’ve been searching for a sustainable solution that works with your body rather than against it, this approach can help you break free from the cycle of temporary results.
At Elle MD, we take the guesswork out of weight loss by identifying the factors that are holding you back and creating a plan tailored to your lifestyle. Located in Royal Oak, Michigan, we proudly serve clients in Novi through virtual consultations and in-person care. If you're ready to take control of your health with a proven, medical approach, we’re here to guide you every step of the wayHow do I know if I need weight loss medications?
At Elle MD in Novi, Michigan, we offer personalized weight loss programs tailored to your specific needs, from medication-free solutions to FDA-approved and compounded medications. For the best results, we recommend combining these medications with lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. Since there are many factors to consider when starting weight loss medication, it's important to discuss your options with your doctor.
How do I know if I qualify for weight loss medication?
Weight loss medications are FDA-approved for patients with obesity, defined as a BMI > 30kg/m2, or for patients with overweight (BMI 27-29 kg/m2) AND the presence of another weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, PCOS, Obstructive Sleep Apnea or high cholesterol.
Which weight loss medications do you prescribe?
At Elle MD, we prescribe Tirzepatide (Zepbound), Semaglutide (Wegovy), Phentermine, Qsymia (phentermine/topirmatate), Contrave (bupropion/naltrexone). Your weight loss medication will be carefully selected based on your unique medical history, needs, and preferences. We will also consider your insurance coverage to ensure the best possible treatment plan.
Do you accept insurance?
By not accepting insurance, we’re able to provide the personalized, holistic care our patients deserve, free from the restrictions of traditional insurance systems. This ensures we can prioritize your long-term health and success.
What happens if my insurance doesn't cover weight loss medications?
Weight loss medications are rarely covered by insurance, but if your plan doesn’t cover them, we can help you navigate options like out-of-pocket payment, using a savings card, or turning to compounded medications. Our weight loss programs consider these financial aspects to support you.
How long will I need the medication?
Your weight loss journey might require long-term use of medication, depending on your health goals. At Elle MD, we’ll help you develop a tailored plan to gradually reduce or eliminate medication while ensuring your weight loss is maintained. We combine proven strategies like lifestyle adjustments and ongoing support for lasting outcomes.
