Optimal Body

Hi Bridgette! Thank you for your question. Each program in our office is completely customized taking into account factors such as age, gender, medications, medical conditions, body fat percentage and total weight to lose. Because each program is customized there is no set cost, however we are currently offering complimentary, no-obligation consultations to learn more about our approach and what a customized program for you would look like. To schedule, simply give the office a call or you can go to our website and submit an appointment request. Have an amazing day and we will see you soon!

Where is the closes office to Frederick MD? I live north of Frederick.

Hi Carla! Thank you for your questions. Because all of our programs are completely customized to each individual, there is no way to estimate a cost range until after meeting with a case manager, getting your full health history, body fat % and learning a little more about your goals. For example, are we just trying to help you lose weight, or are we working to tighten and firm trouble spots? We help those looking to lose anywhere between 20 and 200 pounds and take factors like age, medical conditions, medication use, history with weight loss, and prior surgeries into account when developing a program. This is why we offer the no cost consultation. It gives you a chance to meet with one of our case managers face to face and work together to see what a customized program would look like for you. Your second question is much easier to answer 😉. Yes you may use FSA funds to cover costs. Give the office a call at 301-347-6413, we would be happy to help get you set up for that 1st visit

Tyrone, that is such a great question, thank you for asking. Throughout all of our programs we are educating our clients on lifestyle modifications (reduce cravings, mindful eating, the "how to's" on eating out, etc) which is the only pathway to long term success. Our mission is to be sure that you have all the tools you need for long term sustainability. We look forward to answering any additional questions you might have face to face. To schedule, simply give the office a call and we can set up your initial consultation to find out if one of our programs might be a good fit.

Hi Jennette! That's a great question, thank you so much for asking. We have worked with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics in their weight loss journey. Because we don't prescribe any medication and our programs are based in whole food nutrition, there are no insulin drug interactions or contraindications. We always recommend consulting your medical doctor before starting a new weight loss program.

We happily do accept CareCredit 😀

Hi Shirley, thank you so much for your question. As of right now (3/4/19), we have the one location. We are located in Bethesda, Maryland just a couple miles from the DC border and very close to the beltway so we frequently have clients drive from Northern Virginia. I hope that helps!

Hi Dawn! All of our customized programs are based in the SCIENCE behind weight loss. No fads, no gimmicks, just results. You can check out a video here of just some of our clients having amazing results, as well as some of our television appearances highlighting the success of our approach to helping people lose weight and keep it off. https://youtu.be/QNbXieMpPak

Hi Beatrice, that is a great question! We are actually running a promotion this week for free consultations. If you are interested, we'd be more than happy to get you scheduled for one of those spots. They do fill up fast, but we have a couple of spots left as of right now. You can call our office at 301-347-6413 or visit www.myoptimalbody.com/schedule and click on the new client special button to get scheduled. Thank you for reaching out, we will be looking forward to your call!

Hi Eugenia, thank you for your questions. The first one is simple. Insurance does not cover elective weight loss. Typically the only thing insurance may cover would be weight loss surgery, which we obviously hope to avoid for our clients. Our programs are customized so cost is completely dependent on what exactly needs to be done and how much time we are working together. For example a program for someone looking to lose 10 pounds where we end up working together for a month is going to look entirely different than for someone looking to lose 100 pounds that we end up working with for a year. The first step is always to meet with one of our weight loss experts first to cover your history and goals so we can decide what the best route will be to achieve your goals in the shortest period of time. From there we can figure out the individual cost based on your needs. The easiest way to schedule is by visiting www.myoptimalbody.com and clicking the new client special.

Hi Terri! Thank you for submitting your question. As with any healthcare service, we are unable to guarantee results. Our programs require active participation from our clients and they get out of it as much as they are willing to put in. We do however have a proven track record of success, having worked with thousands of clients to help them achieve their optimal body.

Hi Marie! Thank you so much for your question. Insurance does not cover elective weight loss however often times it can be covered through a health savings or flex spending account. The consultation is free of charge and we would be happy to have you in to see if we can help.

Hi Denette! Those are great questions. We specialize in All-Natural weight loss solutions to balance your body's chemistry to get weight off quickly, but more importantly to keep in off. This is very different from Persona Doctors which is a medical weight loss clinic, meaning they utilize prescription medication and injections. We get clients daily who have tried those other programs and were either unsuccessful in losing weight, felt ill, or lost weight and gained it back soon after coming off the medication. Our goal from the beginning is to get our clients off of the yo-yo diet cycle so they can see lasting results. Because we customize programs based on someones age, gender, medical history, and other lifestyle factors, there is no set program cost. A program for a clients wanting to lose 20 pounds looks very different from a program for someone wanting to lose 120 pounds. Our consultations are free of charge so we can make an assessment and find the best solution for you.

Great question Denette, thank you for asking. Insurance does not cover elective weight loss, even if for medical reasons. I wouldn't be able to estimate a cost without first having you in to the office for an initial consultation. Our programs are not just based on losing a set amount of weight because many other factors like age, gender, medical conditions, medication use and other lifestyle factors have to be taken into consideration when designing a program. We do however offer very flexible payment options for any of our customized programs.

Hi Valarie, I would be happy to answer your question. Typically we require an in-person check up at least once every 30 days (more frequently for some cases), but for special circumstances we can follow up with phone or web meetings. This has been especially helpful for those that live far or travel frequently for work.

Thank you for your question! We DO accept Medicare. Medicaid will not cover our services. Hope that helps! Feel free to give the office a call for any additional information

Hi Patricia! Thank you so much for your question. Because there is so much variation in the different ways we can approach weight loss (or body slimming), as a policy we never discuss cost on the web or on the phone because there would be no way to give an accurate estimate until after we have done a 1 on 1 assessment. For example, 2 different people looking to lose 20 pounds could have very different programs based on factors like age, medical history, fitness level, medication use, hormone balance, distribution of fat, lifestyle factors, etc. We do, however, have very flexible payment options for any of our customized program with monthly payments as low as $75 per month. The consultation is free of charge so we can discuss your goals and the best route to get there in the shortest amount of time. The direct office number is 301-347-6413 and in the mean time you can check out some of our success stories at https://www.myoptimalbody.com/in-the-news/. Have a great day!

That is Amazing! This is Optimal Body, not True Weight Loss Solutions, but it sounds like we take a similar approach to our customized programs. Feel free to give our office a call for your complimentary consultation

Hi Deborah, thank you for your question. None of our programs should negatively affect autoimmune disease, and in some cases may actually help. I hope to see you soon!

Hi Johnesha! Thank you for your question. Health insurance does not cover elective weight loss services like those offered at our facility. For any additional questions please give us a call and we would be happy to answer
