FAQ’s

Am I required to track or weigh my food?

• No! If tracking or weighing food is what you prefer to do, that is great too! We do individualized plans for each person. We create plans that are realistic for YOU to continue once you’ve completed your journey with us.

Do I have to spend an hour or more exercising each day?

• No! Oftentimes people feel like they need to overdo it in order to see results when in reality your body needs less than you think in order to heal. Each person is different and we will tailor moving your body to what works best for you!

Do I have to buy meal replacement shakes or products?

• No! We believe whole foods are the real fuel to keep our bodies healthy and well. We focus on education surrounding meals that consist of each macronutrient (protein, fat, and carbohydrates). This will help balance your glycemic index (stabilize glucose levels) throughout the day and help with overall weight loss, along with helping you feel full and satisfied.

Do you recommend supplements?

• After completion of your comprehensive initial visit and reviewing your labs, Alicia will interpret any deficiencies and recommend any vitamins or supplements as needed.

Do you accept insurance, HSA, FSA or other financing options?

• We are a cash based clinic and do not accept insurance. We can print a superbill for you to submit to insurance for reimbursement.
• HSA and FSA are accepted.

If I start on a weight loss injection, do I have to stay on it forever?

• No! Our goal at Forks Wellness is to focus on education and to create a healthy realistic lifestyle that incorporate nutrition, physical activity, behavior modification and creating healthy habits. Weight loss injections are prescribed at the lowest, most effective dose for an additional tool to reach your goals. Weaning will be initiated after you are stabilized in the maintenance phase.
