Let’s walk through what responsible, compliant weight loss support looks like today — especially for those enrolled in *Medicare, **Medicaid, or considering **FDA-approved medications* for weight loss.

🩺 Is Medical Weight Loss Right for You?
Medical weight loss programs differ from fad diets or over-the-counter supplements. We start with:
• A comprehensive intake assessment
• Bloodwork and metabolic screening
• Review of current medications and medical history
• Lifestyle review (nutrition, activity, stress, sleep)
• Shared goal-setting and long-term strategy planning
We prioritize *whole-body wellness* and *sustainable outcomes*.

✅ North Carolina’s Scope of Practice for NPs
In North Carolina, Nurse Practitioners must operate under a *collaborative practice agreement with a supervising physician*. All treatment protocols — including prescribing weight loss medications — follow strict guidelines:
• Your care is *overseen by a licensed physician*
• Prescriptions are only written following a medical visit.
• Laboratory testing is *required prior* to initiating certain therapies
• *Follow-up visits* occur at regular intervals, typically every 30 days for active medication management
We take our clinical and legal obligations seriously to protect both patient health and professional integrity.
