Physician-authored guide

What to expect from the PHCM Metabolic Reset™

This page exists because we believe you deserve to understand a program before you commit to it. What follows is an honest, physician-authored overview of how the PHCM Metabolic Reset™ works — from your first appointment through ongoing care.

How the program works

Four stages — each one physician-directed, each one building on the last.

Schedule your PHCM Metabolic Evaluation

Your entry point is a physician-led medical visit — the appointment where everything begins. Most insurance plans cover the visit; BCBS of Mississippi does not cover weight-management visits. This is not a sales consultation. It is a clinical appointment. Metabolic Reset™ medication is self-pay (out of pocket).

Meet with the PHCM physician

During your evaluation, the physician reviews your full health history, current medications, and metabolic goals. This conversation is thorough and unhurried. Nothing is prescribed before this review — candidacy is determined here.

Receive your personalized treatment plan

If approved, your clinician builds a plan tailored to your individual profile. Treatment protocols, administration methods, and follow-up cadence are all explained in detail before you leave. You will know exactly what to expect.

Begin your follow-up care

Ongoing support is available through two physician-directed follow-up plans: Bi-Weekly ($100/month) or Monthly ($200/month). Your clinician recommends the cadence that best supports your goals and monitors your progress at each visit.

What to expect

Clarity before commitment — a plain account of what this program looks like in practice.

At your evaluation

A private, one-on-one appointment with the PHCM physician — not a medical assistant or coordinator
A thorough review of your health history, current medications, and any prior treatments
An honest conversation about whether this program is appropriate for you
A clear explanation of your personalized treatment plan if you are approved
Time to ask every question you have before any decision is made

In the weeks that follow

Scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed
Direct access to the PHCM team between appointments — no concern is too small
Transparent communication about how your body is responding to treatment
A conservative, safety-first approach at every stage

Medication support and side effects

Semaglutide and tirzepatide can cause mild gastrointestinal side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach discomfort, indigestion, or reduced appetite
Some patients may also experience headache, fatigue, dizziness, or injection-site reactions
Your physician will review medication-specific risks, warning signs, and when to contact the care team before treatment begins
Patients receive take-home materials and food recommendations designed to help minimize mild medication-related side effects

What this program is not

A quick fix or a one-size-fits-all protocol
A program that prescribes treatment before a physician evaluation
A subscription service that continues without clinical oversight
A program that names specific medications publicly — your clinician determines what is appropriate for you

What physician oversight makes possible

The PHCM Metabolic Reset™ is not a supplement program or a wellness subscription. It is a physician-directed medical program — and that distinction matters.

Individualized treatment

No two patients receive the same plan. Your treatment is built around your health history, your goals, and your physician's clinical judgment — not a template.

Ongoing clinical monitoring

Follow-up appointments are not optional check-ins. They are the mechanism by which your physician monitors your response, adjusts your plan, and ensures your safety.

Evidence-based protocols

Every treatment used in this program is physician-approved and grounded in current medical evidence. Your clinician will explain the rationale behind your specific plan.

A team that stays with you

The PHCM team is available between appointments. If something feels off, you reach out — and someone responds. That access is part of what you are enrolling in.

Questions we hear most

Practical answers to the questions patients ask before their first appointment.

Plan for approximately 30–45 minutes. The physician takes time to understand your full health picture — this is not a rushed intake. If additional time is needed, it will be taken.
A list of your current medications and dosages, any relevant lab work from the past 12 months if you have it, and your health goals. The more context you can provide, the more tailored your evaluation will be. You do not need to bring anything specific — the physician will guide the conversation.
Potential side effects vary by individual and by the specific treatment plan the physician recommends. Your clinician will review these in detail during your evaluation — including what to watch for, how to manage them, and when to reach out. We take a conservative, safety-first approach. No treatment is initiated without a thorough review of your health profile.
Results vary by individual and depend on your starting point, your treatment plan, and how consistently you engage with the program. Your physician will give you a realistic sense of what to expect for your specific situation during your evaluation. We do not make blanket promises about timelines.
If the physician determines that the PHCM Metabolic Reset™ is not appropriate for you at this time, they will explain why and may suggest alternative paths. The evaluation fee applies regardless of outcome — you are paying for the physician's time and clinical expertise, not a guaranteed prescription.
Yes. The program is physician-directed and ongoing — there is no locked-in contract. If you need to pause or discontinue, you work with your clinician to do so safely. Stopping any physician-guided program should always involve a conversation with your provider.
Follow-up appointment format is determined by the PHCM physician based on your care plan. Your clinician will clarify this during your initial evaluation.
