What is medical weight loss and wellness care?
Medical weight loss and wellness care is a provider-guided approach to improving health through individualized lifestyle support, health assessment, and ongoing accountability. At Holistic Direct Primary Care, visits look beyond weight alone to consider medical history, movement, nutrition, preventive care, emotional wellbeing, and conditions such as diabetes. The goal is to develop practical habits that support lasting health rather than relying on a generic plan.
How is your weight management approach personalized?
Your provider begins by learning about your health background, current routines, concerns, and goals. Recommendations are then shaped around factors that can influence weight and wellbeing, including activity level, preventive needs, diabetes management, stress, and daily responsibilities. Longer, patient-centered conversations allow time for education and questions, helping create a plan that is realistic, respectful, and aligned with your preferences.
Can weight management support include diabetes care?
Yes. Diabetes management is one of the related services available through Holistic Direct Primary Care. Weight, nutrition, movement, medication needs, and preventive monitoring can all be considered together because they affect one another. Your provider can offer education, ongoing support, and coordinated communication, while making specialist referrals when a concern requires additional expertise or specialized treatment.
Do you offer in-home or virtual wellness visits?
Yes. Holistic Direct Primary Care offers in-home and virtual visits, giving adults flexibility in how they receive wellness support. In-home care can be especially helpful for patients who value privacy and convenience, while virtual visits provide an accessible way to discuss goals, progress, and questions. The appropriate visit format can be selected based on your needs and the nature of the appointment.
What happens during a first wellness visit?
A first wellness visit focuses on understanding you as a whole person. Your provider discusses your health history, current concerns, routines, goals, and relevant preventive-care needs. Together, you can identify meaningful priorities for weight management, fitness, or diabetes support. You will have time to ask questions and leave with clear next steps, education, and a plan for appropriate follow-up.
Do you provide exercise and fitness guidance?
Yes. Exercise and fitness guidance can be incorporated into a wellness plan based on your ability, interests, daily schedule, and health goals. The emphasis is on approachable, sustainable movement rather than an unrealistic routine. Guidance may support weight management, energy, strength, cardiovascular health, and diabetes care. Your provider can also help you understand when additional evaluation or specialized support may be appropriate.
How much does a non-member visit cost?
Non-member visits are listed at $210 per visit for services with published non-member pricing. Holistic Direct Primary Care also offers direct primary care memberships, with annual physical exams and certain services included according to the membership arrangement. The practice is self-pay and does not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. There are no enrollment or registration fees for membership options.
Which areas do you serve for in-home visits?

Virtual visits may offer an additional convenient option for appropriate care needs.
