Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of the medical practitioner versus the health coach?
Our medical practitioners handle all clinical assessments, health monitoring, and GLP-1 medication prescriptions. Your health coach provides the ongoing lifestyle guidance, behavioral support, and personalized exercise planning to help you look after your long-term wellness.
Can my lifestyle coach adjust my medication dosage?
No. All clinical decisions, adjustments, and medical monitoring are managed strictly by our qualified medical team. Lifestyle coaches focus purely on supporting your nutritional habits, physical activity, and daily routines.
How do the clinical and coaching teams work together?
We believe in unified, multidisciplinary care. Our medical practitioners and health coaches regularly collaborate, sharing insights to ensure your clinical progress aligns safely and effectively with your behavioral and fitness development.
Do I need a doctor referral to work with a health coach?
While you do not strictly require a referral to start coaching, a clinical consultation with our medical team is essential if you are utilizing GLP-1 therapy, ensuring complete medical oversight for your safety.
