Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to go to a hospital for DNA Testing?

No. DNA testing can be performed at our North Little Rock center. In fact, a quick swab of your cheek and that's it. It will take a few days to get your results back and the DNA analysis can be used to outline a weight loss program that is customized based on your DNA.

I don't have diabetes or prediabetes. Can I still be approved for a GLP-1 prescription?

Yes, you can still qualify for GLP-1 weight loss medications through Metabolic Research Center without a diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis. Your healthcare provider will conduct a thorough qualifying exam to determine eligibility for participation in prescription weight loss with MRC.

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.

Can you help me lose the "inner tube" around my waist?

Losing stubborn belly fat can be a challenge. At MRC, we can personalize a low-carb high-fat menu plan to turn your body into a fat-burning machine. A ketogenic approach relies on achieving a state of metabolic ketosis where your body is forced to use its fat reserves for fuel.

How long will I have to wait to start my medication?

Typically your appointment will be within one week of ordering. The pharmacy will fill your prescription quickly and you'll have your medication about 1 week after your exam.

I lost weight but it has come back. Help?

If you have struggled with trying to lose weight and keep off, you are likely following a plan that does not support your body's needs. Fad diets are sometimes effective for shedding a few pounds quickly, but most people struggle to keep the weight off once they return to eating their old diet.?Permanent weight loss comes from a sustainable program.

What can I expect after I sign up for my GLP-1 weight loss program?

After you sign up for your program, you'll meet with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive health screen. Your prescription will ordered and delivered, in most cases, in about a week's time. Your MRC Team will provide you with instructions and supplies for administering your compounded GLP-1 medication, and you'll continue to meet with your MRC Team to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. You can expect great service and results through Metabolic Research Center.

How long are your weight loss programs?

Metabolic Research Center has invested in excess of three decades of research and development into our programs, this qualifies our team to provide a weight loss plan that will optimize your chance of success.
