During your initial 1:1 consultation, your provider will examine your medical history, discuss your weight care goals, and review any current medications you are taking. They will use this information to devise a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique biology for effective and lasting weight loss. Your provider will also explain the benefits of genetic testing and how it can enhance your journey to weight loss success. In follow-up consultations, you will have the opportunity to share your progress, pose questions, and address any concerns related to your weight management. Your provider will continue to monitor your progress and may adjust your treatment plan as needed. If you have any questions or concerns about your membership, billing, or the shipping of genetic tests, please contact the Support team at info@slimgenetix.com.

Your SlimGenetix provider might ask for bloodwork. If required, you'll be notified that either a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP) or Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) needs to be completed. We accept lab results from the past six months. For those who do not have recent bloodwork, we have partnered with Quest Labs to facilitate this process. You can also have this test done through your primary care provider (PCP) or at any local health care facility. Please note: SlimGenetix does not cover the cost of lab work, which will be an out-of-pocket expense. However, through our partnership with Quest Labs, we ensure our members receive these services at a reduced rate.

SlimGenetix provides a wide range of weight loss medications, each chosen to complement your unique genetics and biology for effective weight management. Our clinicians effectively use FDA-approved medications prescribed. At SlimGenetix, integrating genetic testing into the selection of medications tailored to your genetic makeup is crucial for successful weight loss. Your clinician will thoroughly analyze your genetic test results, blood work, medical history, weight history, and lifestyle factors to devise a treatment plan specifically suited to your needs and genetic profile. It is important to understand that all prescription decisions are made at the sole discretion of our medical providers.

If your insurance covers these medications, SlimGenetix will coordinate with your insurance, potentially reducing your costs to as low as $25. Our program is designed to help you make permanent changes in your lifestyle and eating habits for lasting results.

Research consistently demonstrates, and the American Medical Association recognizes, that obesity is a chronic and complex disease necessitating medical intervention. Genetics are a factor in up to 70 percent of obesity cases, with hormones and environmental conditions also playing significant roles. Traditional diets often result in a cycle of weight loss and regain, complicating efforts to maintain weight loss over time. At SlimGenetix, we focus on the genetic factors that can significantly influence weight gain. By testing and identifying specific genes, we are able to customize medication regimens that are optimally effective based on each individual's genetic makeup.

During your consultations, your provider will carefully monitor your response to the medication to ensure it is effective and well-tolerated. If any side effects occur, they will promptly make necessary adjustments. This may involve switching to an alternative medication if the initially prescribed one isn't the right fit for you.

Your SlimGenetix medical provider is the most qualified person to determine the duration of your medication treatment. This varies for each individual since obesity is a complex chronic disease with genetic factors influencing up to 70 percent of cases. Many individuals require long-term medication, even after achieving their weight goals. Medication, when combined with lifestyle changes, not only aids in weight loss but also in maintaining it and preventing chronic conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. The Obesity Medicine Association recommends long-term medication treatment as a standard of care. You can discuss a maintenance plan with your SlimGenetix clinician as you near your target weight. If you choose to discontinue the medication, your provider will guide you on how to taper off safely. You can read more about how medication supports long-term weight maintenance.

Absolutely! You are free to use the pharmacy of your choice for any medications prescribed by our clinicians. Please note that you will be responsible for the cost of your medications. For those without insurance coverage for GLP-1 medications, we recommend using a compounding pharmacy affiliated with SlimGenetix to potentially reduce costs.
