You Don't Have to Keep Guessing Why Things Changed
Maybe you're gaining weight even though your habits haven't changed much.
Maybe losing weight has become harder than it used to be.
Maybe your blood sugar, cholesterol, or blood pressure has started creeping up.
Maybe you've been told you have insulin resistance, prediabetes, fatty liver, or metabolic syndrome.
Maybe you're tired, hungry, struggling with cravings, or wondering whether your thyroid or hormones could be contributing.
Or maybe you simply want a clearer picture of your metabolic health before small changes become bigger problems.
That's exactly what your consultation is designed to explore.

Your Consultation Is More Than One Appointment
Your $199 comprehensive new patient consultation includes two virtual visits.
VISIT ONE
Tell Me What's Been Going On
We'll take time to review your symptoms, medical history, medications, risk factors, concerns, and goals.
When appropriate, laboratory testing, imaging, or preventive screening may be ordered to help complete the picture.
BETWEEN VISITS
Your Information Is Reviewed
Your history, available results, risk factors, and concerns are organized - so we can focus on what matters most during your follow-up.
VISIT TWO
Leave With a Plan
We'll review your findings together and discuss your personalized next steps.
You'll also receive your written Health Report Card and Health Roadmap - so you have a clear record of what we discussed and where your care goes next.
MetabolicTreatment Isn't
One-Size-Fits-All
There isn't one treatment plan that's right for everyone.
Your options depend on your medical history, laboratory findings, medications, previous treatment experiences, preferences, risks, and goals.
Your personalized plan may include discussion of:
Nutrition & Lifestyle Strategy
Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and daily habits can all affect metabolic health.
The goal isn't a generic diet plan. It's identifying realistic changes that make sense for your health, lifestyle, and goals.
Prescription Treatment Options
Prescription medications may be considered when clinically appropriate based on your medical history, diagnoses, previous treatments, risks, and goals.
Weight Management
When weight is part of the concern, we'll look beyond the number on the scale.
Weight history, medications, metabolic conditions, sleep, appetite, activity, laboratory findings, and other contributing factors may all be considered.
Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance
Elevated glucose, insulin resistance, prediabetes, and diabetes deserve more than simply watching the numbers.
We'll look at your results, risk factors, medications, lifestyle, and overall metabolic picture.
Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Risk
Cholesterol is only one part of cardiovascular risk.
Depending on your history, your evaluation may also consider blood pressure, blood sugar, family history, smoking history, weight, kidney health, and other risk factors.
Thyroid & Other Contributors
Symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, constipation, temperature intolerance, or changes in energy can have many possible causes.
When appropriate, thyroid function and other potential contributors may be evaluated as part of the broader picture.

The goal isn't to rush you through a checklist.
It's to understand what's changing, what matters to you, and what an appropriate path forward looks like.

Common Questions
Do I Have to Be Diagnosed With Diabetes to Schedule?
No.
Metabolic care may be appropriate for adults concerned about weight changes, insulin resistance, prediabetes, elevated blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, thyroid concerns, or other metabolic risk factors.
Is This Just a Weight-Loss Program?
No.
Weight can be one part of metabolic health, but your evaluation looks at the larger picture including medical history, medications, laboratory results, blood sugar, cardiovascular risk factors, thyroid health, lifestyle, and your individual goals.
Will I Automatically Receive a Weight-Loss Medication?
No.
Scheduling an appointment does not guarantee that any particular medication will be prescribed.
Medication decisions are made only after your medical history, current medications, diagnoses, previous treatment, benefits, risks, and individual circumstances are reviewed.
Can Prescription Medications Be Discussed?
Yes.
Prescription treatment options may be discussed when clinically appropriate. Recommendations depend on your individual medical history, findings, risks, and treatment goals.
Do I Need Laboratory Testing Before My Appointment?
No.
Bring any recent results you already have. Additional laboratory testing may be ordered when clinically appropriate after your history and existing information are reviewed.
What If I've Tried to Lose Weight Before?
That's okay.
Previous diets, medications, weight-loss programs, successes, side effects, regain, and barriers are all useful information.
The purpose of the consultation is to understand your history rather than assume one approach should work for everyone.
Can I Use My Insurance?
The Root Care Family Health NP is a cash-pay practice.
Your insurance may still be used for covered prescriptions, laboratory testing, and imaging.
Superbills are available for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
Will I Actually Meet With a Clinician?
Yes.
Your initial consultation includes two virtual visits with Tara, a New York-licensed, ANCC board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner.
