Clear Answers for Your Health Journey

Weight Loss & Wellness FAQs

Have questions about starting a weight loss program, GLP-1 options, nutrition coaching, or what to expect during your first visit? We are here to help. Explore our frequently asked questions below or reach out directly to any of our Louisiana weight loss locations.

General Clinic Info & Getting Started FAQs

No referral is necessary. You can schedule a consultation directly online or by calling any of our 8 local clinic offices.

Your initial consultation takes about 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll be greeted by our friendly staff, complete a TANITA body composition scan, discuss your medical history and lifestyle routines, receive personalized nutrition guidelines, and explore program options with our team (and physicians for medical plans).

We operate 8 active clinics in South Louisiana: Baton Rouge, Covington, Hammond, Harvey, Houma, Lafayette, Metairie, and Slidell. (Note: Prairieville has been fully merged into our Baton Rouge clinic on Perkins Road East).

Appointments are recommended for initial consultations and physician evaluations to ensure dedicated time with our team. However, quick visits for weekly weigh-ins, TANITA scans, or vitamin injections are often available on a walk-in basis.

While the success of your individual weight loss journey depends on many factors, we’re proud to have worked with many satisfied customers for more than 30 years. Our team is committed to tailoring a weight loss approach to suit your lifestyle and providing the support you need to meet your wellness goals.

Medical Weight Loss & GLP-1 Injections FAQs

The team at the Aspen Clinic may prescribe a range of weight loss medications, depending on your individual goals and overall health. In addition to non-medical weight loss options and vitamin injections, many customers at our Louisiana weight loss clinics are interested in our medical weight loss plans, which may include GLP-1 injectable weight loss medications such as:

  • Tirzepatide & NAD+
  • Semaglutide & NAD+

Medical weight loss is physician-guided and tailored to your health profile. Instead of relying on generic diets, our medical team evaluates your health history, tracks your body composition, and may prescribe options like GLP-1 injections to help regulate appetite while protecting lean muscle mass.

GLP-1 medications mimic natural hormones that slow gastric emptying in the stomach and quiet hunger signals in the brain. This helps you feel satisfied on smaller portions while learning sustainable eating habits.

No. GLP-1 injections are a supportive tool to help you achieve initial weight loss and control appetite. Because our program pairs medication with nutritional education and habit building, our ultimate goal is to give you the skills needed to maintain your weight long-term.

Yes. Unlike automated online telehealth platforms, The Aspen Clinic provides face-to-face physician guidance, routine in-person progress tracking, and direct accountability at every stage of your program.

Non-Medical Programs & Nutrition Coaching FAQs

Absolutely! Our non-medical weight loss program focuses on custom nutrition education, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calorie targets, TANITA body composition scans, all-natural supplements, and lipotropic vitamin injections to help you shed weight naturally.

No. We do not believe in starvation diets or eliminating entire food groups. We teach you how to balance calories and macronutrients using real foods you enjoy—including local South Louisiana meals—in a way that fits your real life.

TANITA is an advanced scan that measures your exact body composition, including body fat, lean muscle mass, and water content. Tracking these metrics ensures that the weight you lose comes from excess body fat rather than vital muscle tissue.

Yes. Our nutrition support helps anyone looking to build muscle, manage body composition, maintain progress, optimize daily energy, or improve overall wellness.

Vitamin & Peptide Injections FAQs

Our lipotropic shots contain a blend of essential amino acids (Methionine, Inositol, Choline) and B vitamins designed to help your liver process fat efficiently, boost your natural metabolic rate, and increase daily energy.

Vitamin injections bypass the digestive system and enter the bloodstream immediately at 100% bioavailability. Oral vitamins can lose a significant portion of their potency during digestion.

When prescribed and monitored by qualified healthcare professionals, peptide therapies are well-tolerated because they use amino acid sequences similar to those naturally produced by the human body. Our physicians evaluate your health profile to ensure proper selection.

Pricing, Insurance & App Rewards FAQs

While the Aspen Clinic does not accept insurance directly, our clients may be able to file a claim with their insurance provider following a visit. A visit to the Aspen Clinic may be covered through a Health Savings Account (HSA), if you have one through your insurance provider. We also work to connect our customers with:

Our mobile Rewards App allows you to access exclusive patient promotions, manage clinic memberships, earn rewards on visits and purchases, and place orders for in-store pickup at your local clinic.

Products ordered through the Rewards App are processed for quick in-store pickup at your local clinic. Products purchased through our Online Store are shipped directly to your home address.
