Silk Life only accepts Self Pay at this time, but many patients use HSA and FSA accounts. Detailed lab testing can get very expensive. We’ve found that when processed through insurance, most of the patients were paying hundreds or thousands of dollars more than what we were charging. We have locked in great prices for our labs to make it easy as possible for our patients.

Insurance typically does not cover the treatments that we offer. Remember, our goal is to take you from “normal” health to optimal. Your insurance is designed to take your from sick to “normal.” Since most submissions will be declined, we do not offer the service of submitting claims to insurance. You can use an HSA/FSA account or we can provide receipts and/or any additional information you need to submit yourself.

Our Metabolic25 Detailed panel offers advanced labs that can be very expensive and are not covered by insurance. Luckily, we have locked in great prices with our lab.

If you prefer, you can request these labs at your Primary Care Provider, but beware of the following:

Your Primary Care Doctor may or may not agree to order the labs. Often we hear from patients that their primary care refuses. If you are able to get your labs ordered at Primary Care, you may be charged much more than the Silk Life Price. Often insurance does not cover the tests requested or offer limited coverage on the expensive tests. In the past we have seen patient’s receive bills over $2,000 even after processed through insurance.

If you already a have lab results from another doctor we will be happy to review. The cost of lab review is included in the Metabolic25 price. Lab Review alone will be $99.

Bio-identical Hormones are biologically the same as the hormones your body naturally produces. This is to reduce side effects and provide the most natural results possible. Often BHRT is naturally sourced. BHRT most commonly is compounded with a compounding pharmacy. This allows your treatment to be customized to you. For example we can provide the exact dose you need based on your labs vs. the standard few doses. We are also able to combine hormones into one treatment. This is different from the average trademarked prescription you will receive at your local drug store. To be trademarked, a prescription can not be naturally occurring. This is the same reason drug companies don’t sell vitamins.

When you stop any hormone replacement your levels will slowly go back to normal/where they were previously. Never stop treatment without discussing with your provider. Certain hormone therapies can be safely stopped abruptly, while others require you to taper off.

This can vary depending on treatment.

Example 1: Hormones as testosterone, estrogen or progesterone slowly decline with age and ovarian production stops at after menopause. To maintain the benefits you receive, you would continue use. The replacement of these hormones is slowly the process of aging, reducing risks of heart disease, dementia and cancer and keep you in optimal health, so why stop? If hormone replacement is recommended, you can try it as long as you want and go off with your providers supervision. We expect treatment to make a dramatic difference in your life to make long term use well worth it.

Example 2: Some hormones such as thyroid can be healed over time. Depending on the severity of thyroid changes you may be able to get off the medication once your lifestyle is optimized based on your biology.

You don’t want to waste your time, money and energy on just another diet or health plan that just won’t work for you or waste your time losing weight just to see it quickly return.

The truth is, most people who go through Medical Weight Loss will rapidly regain the weight, but what we offer at Silk Life is completely different.

Our plans are not designed just to have you lose the pounds and send you on your way, but they are designed with the end goal in mind… being able to maintain your ideal weight and see amazing benefits long term.

We do this by first learning about how your metabolism works with detailed blood work and customizing your treatment accordingly.

We fix the root cause of your metabolism changes through hormone optimization and customizing your lifestyle and supplement plan. This is to ensure your body is operating with an optimal metabolism allowing to maintain your weight loss.

We are also preventing common adrenal changes that occur during MWL that typically cause your body to hold on to fat for dear life as soon as you’re off the medication. We do this through coaching you to have proper nutrient intake and lifestyle during MWL.

We also additional follow up with you the months after the weight loss is complete to make sure the scale isn’t going back up.

If the scale does creep up, then we provide the plan and the motivation for you to stop the weight gain.

This all starts with the Metabolic25 blood panel.
