Weight Loss
At Rejuvenate Muncie, we understand the complexities of weight loss and the barriers to achieving success. The journey of weight loss is a physiological, physical, mental, and emotional journey that must be individualized for each patient. Giving someone a pill for weight-loss may be beneficial in the short term but once stopped the weight gain is typically packed back on and some. In order to help our clients achieve and sustain their desired outcomes, we target all aspects of the client’s life to build healthy and sustainable habits extending far beyond weight-loss. We offer medical and non-medical weight loss options. Are you ready to rejuvenate your life, book with us and start your own journey?
Journey
Initial Consultation
$75 – 60 minutes
($50 - current patients on the Total membership program )
During your initial consultation, the provider will conduct a medical history & health assessment screening. She will then discuss your weight loss & wellness goals, review available treatment options, and discuss the potential treatment plan.
Your initial consultation can be completed via video conference or in-person.
There are specific conditions that are excluded from treatment due to risk. These will be discussed during the visit.
You will be given an order for lab work during your appointment. All patients are required to have initial labs to initiate treatment and lab work may be repeated at various stages during the treatment plan. Labs are patient and treatment-specific and the cost of labs are not included in the consultation cost.
In some cases, an EKG may also be necessary - you would also receive an order at this time.
We offer low cost, self pay labs via LabCorp
Labs can also be billed through insurance
This will also be completed at LabCorp or may be completed with your PCP

*You must have your labs and testing completed (and submitted to the office if done off-site) at least 48 hours prior to your initiation appointment or you will be rescheduled.

Injectable Medications
-
GLP-1s increases insulin production while inhibiting glucagon production. These works by reducing appetite, decreasing cravings, and slowing gastric emptying. They are very effective in producing weight loss and can often produce a 10-20% decrease in body weight.
This is given in combination with L-carnitine, a chemical that is made in the human brain, liver, and kidneys. It helps the body turn fat into energy.
*Requires a once-weekly injection.
