Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What states do you currently serve?
A1: We currently serve patients in Arizona, New York, New Mexico, Vermont, Florida, Connecticut, and Colorado. We are actively working to expand to additional states. If you don't see your state listed, sign up for our email list and we'll notify you when we're available in your area.
Q2: How do I get started?
A2: It's simple — and it starts with a free conversation. Step 1: Book your free 20-minute consultation. Step 2: Meet with Daniella via secure video call — she'll review your history, goals, and answer every question you have. Step 3: If you're a candidate, you'll receive a personalized clinical plan including lab orders if needed. Step 4: Your medication ships directly to your door. Step 5: Ongoing NP check-ins keep your plan on track. The whole process typically takes 5–7 business days.
Q3: What does the free consultation include?
A3: Your free 20-minute consultation is a real clinical conversation — not a sales call. Daniella will review your health history and weight loss goals, discuss what you've already tried and why it may not have worked, explain your candidacy for medical weight loss honestly, and answer every question you have — no pressure, no rush. There is no obligation to continue. You'll leave with clarity regardless of whether you choose to move forward.
Q4: Do you accept insurance?
A4: We are a cash-pay practice and do not accept insurance at this time. This is intentional — it allows us to spend real time with you without the restrictions that insurance companies place on your care. Many patients find that the cost of our program is comparable to their insurance copays and deductibles for specialist care. We provide a superbill upon request that you may submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
SECTION 2 — About the Medications
Q5: What medications do you offer?
A5: We currently offer two evidence-based medical weight loss options. Semaglutide — a weekly injection that works by reducing appetite signals and supporting healthy blood sugar levels, starting at $299/month. Tirzepatide — a dual-action weekly injection with strong clinical evidence for weight management, starting at $347/month. Both are compounded through licensed U.S. pharmacies and shipped directly to your door. Daniella will help you determine the best fit during your consultation.
Q6: Am I a candidate for medical weight loss?
A6: Medical weight loss may be appropriate if you have struggled with weight despite diet and exercise, have a BMI of 27 or higher (or 25+ with a weight-related health condition), have underlying factors like insulin resistance, PCOS, or thyroid dysfunction, or are looking for a medically supervised sustainable approach. The only way to know for certain is through a clinical evaluation — that's exactly what your free consultation is for. Daniella will give you an honest, personalized answer. Not everyone is a candidate, and that's okay. You'll leave knowing exactly where you stand.
Q7: How does my medication get to me?
A7: Once your prescription is confirmed, your medication is dispensed through a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy and shipped directly to your home — discreetly packaged. Most patients receive their first shipment within 3–5 business days. Refills are shipped on your schedule so you never run out.
Q8: What are the side effects?
A8: The most common side effects — especially in the first 1–3 weeks — are nausea, fatigue, and reduced appetite. These are typically mild and improve as your body adjusts. Tips that help: stay well hydrated, eat small frequent meals, and take your injection in the evening if nausea is an issue. This is exactly why clinical oversight matters. Daniella monitors your progress and adjusts your dosing if needed — so you're never navigating side effects alone.
Q9: I work long hours. Can I really fit this in?
A9: This program was built for busy professionals. Everything is telehealth — your appointments happen on your schedule, not around clinic hours. Check-ins take 15–20 minutes and can be booked early morning, during a lunch break, or after your shift. Many patients join calls from their car between meetings. Your weekly injection takes 30 seconds and fits into any routine. If you have time to read this FAQ, you have time for this program.
Q10: What does ongoing support look like?
A10: After your initial consultation you'll have monthly check-in visits with Daniella to review progress and adjust your plan, messaging access between appointments for questions or concerns, lab review as needed to monitor your progress clinically, and dosage adjustments based on how your body is responding. You are never just handed a prescription and left alone. That's the entire difference between Empower IV and other online services.
Q11: How is Empower IV different from other telehealth weight loss services?
A11: You work directly with Daniella — a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice. Not a rotating provider you've never met. Your plan is personalized based on your labs, your history, and your life — not a template sent to 500 patients. We address root causes like hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and metabolic adaptation — not just appetite suppression. Daniella knows your story at every visit. You're not starting over every month.
Q12: What if I've tried everything and nothing has worked?
A12: That's exactly who we're here for. If you've tried diets, programs, and exercise and still can't maintain results — the problem is almost certainly not your effort. It's your biology. Factors like insulin resistance, cortisol dysregulation, thyroid dysfunction, and metabolic adaptation make your body work against you regardless of how hard you try. You didn't fail the programs. The programs failed to address your biology. That's what we do differently.
SECTION 4 — Pricing & Logistics
Q13: What does it cost?
A13: Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive. Free Consultation: $0 — no obligation. Pricing info is on our booking site and ex. Your program fee includes your NP consultation, personalized plan, prescription, and ongoing clinical oversight. There are no hidden fees.
Q14: Can I pause or cancel my program?
A14: Yes. We believe in complete flexibility. You can pause or cancel your program at any time — there are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. We ask for reasonable notice before your next billing cycle so we can adjust your prescription accordingly. Life happens — we work with you, not against you.
