Frequently Asked Questions

Are MRC weight loss supplements and dietary products FDA-approved?

The Federal Drug Administration does not review supplements or other dietary products for safety or effectiveness in the same way as potentially dangerous drugs. All Metabolic Research Center products are labeled GMP for Good Manufacturing Practice, which is the system used to ensure the highest quality standards.

I'm nervous to get started on a medical weight loss program.

A little nervousness is normal! Individuals choose prescription weight loss with Metabolic Research Center over other online options because we are more than just a prescription or a website. We are in person support with real humans to provide you with professional coaching, advice, and support throughout the duration of your journey to eliminate the guesswork of weight loss and help you achieve the results you seek.

I don't want to be skinny; but can you help me lose 20 pounds?

Yes, we can. Metabolic Research Center has been helping clients lose weight and keep it off for more than three decades. Our scientific approach involves following personalized menu plans designed to meet your body's unique needs. During your private meetings, our weight loss specialists will provide education, support, and encouragement. So you can keep your eye on the prize until your target weight is achieved.

Do I need to have labs done through you or can I use my own?

In most cases, lab work is not required. Should our physician need to see your labs, they will let you know on an individual, case-by-case basis. If labs are needed, then you are welcome to provide your own from your primary healthcare provider, provided they are in date and include any required panels.

Since I quit smoking, I've been gaining weight at an alarming rate. How can MRC help?

Lifestyle changes like stopping smoking are essential for restoring your good health, and you should take pride in your accomplishment. However, you can't live the rest of your life hungry. That's why we personalized menu plans and offer dietary supplements to satisfy your body's specific needs. You've taken a big step. Now, take the next step, and contact MRC.

What will I eat with prescription weight loss program?

All medical weight loss programs are paired with an MRC Menu(s) designed to maximize nutrition with results. Your menu(s) will provide you with a variety of protein, vegetable, carbohydrate, and healthy fat food options. Balanced portions are also provided so that you are consuming the foods that will help you feel your best while losing weight with our medical weight loss programs.

Where do I go for a DNA panel?

DNA collection is easy and can be performed at the MRC center. A quick swab of your cheek, and you're finished. Results will be back in a few days.

Do you accept insurance for prescription weight loss?

At this time we are unable to process insurance through our offices. We do accept Flex Spending and HSA on applicable purchases of weight loss medications and products. Some carriers may also reimburse you for all or part of your medical program costs; this is a conversation best had with your carrier to see what they will cover. Our prescription medications are affordably priced so that the vast majority of individuals are able to afford their medication without the supplementation of insurance.
