Weight Loss FAQs
Q: What weight loss medications do you offer?
A: We offer FDA-approved medications including Semaglutide (such as Wegovy and Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound). These support appetite control and metabolic function when combined with lifestyle changes.
Q: How do I know if I qualify for medication-assisted weight loss?
A: Eligibility typically depends on your BMI, health history, and weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes. A consultation and medical evaluation will help determine the best plan for you.
Q: Do you provide personalized weight loss plans?
A: Yes. Every patient receives a custom plan that may include medications, nutrition support, lab work, and wellness injections like B12 or MIC to enhance fat metabolism.
Q: How quickly will I see results?
A: Weight loss varies from person to person, but many patients begin seeing results within the first 4–6 weeks when following the full program as prescribed.
HRT FAQs
Q: Who is a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy?
A: HRT is ideal for men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as fatigue, low libido, mood changes, poor sleep, weight gain, or hot flashes. These symptoms often result from aging, menopause, or andropause (Low T in men).
Q: Do you offer bioidentical hormone therapy?
A: Yes. Premier Health & Wellness provides bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using plant-derived hormones that are structurally identical to those your body naturally produces. This allows for a more natural, personalized, and effective treatment approach.
Q: What types of hormone treatments are available?
A: We offer several hormone delivery methods, including topical creams, oral medications, injections, and hormone pellets. Each option is tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Q: What are hormone pellets, and how do they work?
A: Hormone pellets are small, time-released implants (about the size of a grain of rice) inserted just under the skin—typically in the upper hip area. They deliver a steady, consistent dose of bioidentical hormones like estrogen or testosterone. Pellets are a convenient, long-term option for patients who want to avoid daily or weekly treatments.
Q: How often are hormone pellets inserted?
A: Typically every 3-4 months, depending on your hormone levels and symptoms.
Q: How are hormone levels tested?
A: We begin with a full blood panel to assess your current hormone levels. During your consultation, we’ll review your symptoms and medical history to design a treatment plan that fits your body’s needs and health goals.
Addiction Treatment FAQs
Q: What medications do you offer for opioid addiction treatment?
A: We offer Suboxone, Brixadi, and Sublocade, which are all FDA-approved medications used in medication-assisted treatment (MAT). These medications help reduce cravings, prevent withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery from opioid use disorder.
Q: What’s the difference between Suboxone, Brixadi, and Sublocade?
Answers Below:
-
Suboxone is a daily oral film or tablet containing buprenorphine and naloxone.
-
Brixadi is a long-acting injectable buprenorphine given weekly or monthly.
-
Sublocade is a once-monthly injectable form of buprenorphine.
Q: Can I start Suboxone treatment through telehealth?
A: Yes. We offer telehealth appointments for qualifying patients in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. If appropriate, treatment can be initiated remotely, including prescription of Suboxone or coordination for injectable options like Brixadi or Sublocade.
Q: Is opioid addiction treatment confidential?
A: Absolutely. Your care is private, professional, and HIPAA-compliant. We provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment where your privacy and recovery are our top priorities.
Q: How long does treatment last?
A: The length of treatment varies depending on your individual needs and recovery goals. Some patients may need several months to years of MAT, along with behavioral support and lifestyle changes. We work with you to create a treatment plan that supports sustainable, long-term recovery.
Peptide Therapy FAQs
Q: What is peptide therapy?
A: Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids—called peptides—to help support how your body naturally functions. Peptides act as messengers in the body, helping regulate processes like metabolism, hormone signaling, tissue repair, immune function, and recovery.
Q: How is peptide therapy different from traditional medications?
A: Unlike many medications that override or suppress normal body functions, peptide therapy works by supporting and enhancing the body’s natural signaling pathways. This allows for a more targeted, personalized approach to wellness.
Q: What conditions or goals can peptide therapy help support?
A: Peptide therapy may be used to support:
-
Weight loss and metabolic health
-
Appetite regulation and insulin sensitivity
-
Muscle recovery and joint support
-
Injury healing and tissue repair
-
Energy and endurance
-
Sleep quality
-
Skin health and healthy aging
-
Immune system balance
-
Overall wellness and vitality
Q: Is peptide therapy safe?
A: When prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical provider, peptide therapy is generally well tolerated. At Premier Health & Wellness, all peptide therapy plans are medically guided and personalized to your health history and goals.
Q: Are peptides hormones or steroids?
A: No. Peptides are not hormones or steroids. They are signaling molecules that help the body communicate more effectively. Some peptides support hormone signaling, but they do not replace hormones directly.
Q: How are peptides administered?
A: Peptides are most commonly administered through small subcutaneous injections, similar to insulin injections. Your provider will give clear instructions and ensure you are comfortable with the process.
Q: Will I need lab work before starting peptide therapy?
A: Lab testing may be recommended depending on your symptoms, goals, and the type of peptide therapy being considered. Your provider will determine what testing, if any, is appropriate.
Q: How long does it take to see results from peptide therapy?
A: Results vary by peptide and individual. Some patients notice improvements in energy, sleep, or recovery within a few weeks, while other benefits—such as body composition or tissue repair—may develop more gradually over time.
