Question 6

Who is the physician at Vitality?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Jamie Lynn Jaqua, MD is the founder and medical director. She is a board-certified physician with advanced training in hormone optimization, metabolic health, and longevity-focused care. She is also a Certified Medical Weight Management Provider (IAPAM).

Question 7

How do I know if I have low testosterone?

Accepted Answer

The most reliable way is a blood test. Common symptoms include fatigue, low libido, brain fog, difficulty building muscle, and mood changes. At Vitality, we test your levels on-site and have results within minutes.

Question 8

Is TRT safe?

Accepted Answer

When supervised by a qualified physician with regular monitoring, TRT is considered safe and effective. Dr. Jaqua monitors hormone levels and adjusts dosing based on both your labs and how you're feeling throughout treatment.

Question 9

How quickly will I see results from TRT?

Accepted Answer

Some patients notice improvements in energy and mood within 2–4 weeks. Significant changes in muscle mass and body composition typically develop over 3–6 months.

Question 10

Do I have to stay on TRT forever?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Treatment duration depends on your individual situation and goals. Dr. Jaqua will discuss the options at your consultation.

Question 11

Does insurance cover TRT?

Accepted Answer

Coverage varies. Contact us and we'll help clarify what to expect for your specific plan.

Question 12

What's the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Accepted Answer

Both are GLP-1 receptor agonists that reduce appetite and improve blood sugar control. Tirzepatide also targets GIP receptors, which may produce greater weight loss for some patients. Dr. Jaqua will recommend the right option based on your health history and goals.

Question 13

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Accepted Answer

Most patients on GLP-1 medications lose 1–3 lbs per week. Clinical trials show 10–20%+ total body weight loss is achievable over 6–12 months with proper supervision and lifestyle support.

Question 14

Are these medications safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when prescribed and monitored by a physician. Side effects can include nausea, especially early in treatment. Dr. Jaqua manages dosing carefully to minimize side effects while maximizing results.

Question 15

Do I need to follow a special diet?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Jaqua provides nutritional guidance as part of every weight loss program. You don't need to follow an extreme diet, but lifestyle changes do improve results.

Question 16

How is Vitality different from a weight loss app or pharmacy program?

Accepted Answer

You're seen by a physician — not an algorithm. Every plan is based on your labs, your medical history, and your goals. Adjustments are made based on how you're actually responding, not a preset protocol.

Question 17

What peptides does Vitality offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer Sermorelin and other growth hormone secretagogues, as well as BPC-157 for recovery. Dr. Jaqua will recommend the appropriate peptide protocol based on your labs and goals.

Question 18

Is peptide therapy the same as HGH injections?

Accepted Answer

No. Peptide therapy stimulates your body to produce its own growth hormone naturally — it doesn't introduce synthetic HGH. This makes it lower-risk with a better safety profile.

Question 19

Who is a candidate for peptide therapy?

Accepted Answer

Both men and women experiencing symptoms of growth hormone decline may benefit. A comprehensive lab evaluation is done before any treatment begins.

Question 20

How long before I notice results from peptide therapy?

Accepted Answer

Most patients notice improved sleep and energy within 2–4 weeks. Body composition changes typically develop over 3–6 months of consistent therapy.

Question 21

How long does an IV session take?

Accepted Answer

Most IV infusions take 30–60 minutes depending on the formula. IM injections take just a few minutes.

Question 22

How often should I get IV therapy?

Accepted Answer

Frequency depends on your goals and the specific nutrients. Dr. Jaqua will recommend a protocol at your consultation.

Question 23

Is IV therapy safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when administered by a trained medical provider. All IV and IM therapies at Vitality are physician-supervised.

Question 24

Can I combine IV therapy with my TRT or weight loss program?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — and many patients do. Certain combinations (e.g., B12 + L-Carnitine with a weight loss plan) are specifically designed to work together.
