Common Questions

Do you accept health insurance or FSA?

Not today, but the costs associated with the Aging Wellness Assessment may be eligible for reimbursement by some insurance companies. We'll send you a receipt that you can use to submit for reimbursement purposes. However, we can make no guarantees about reimbursement from your insurance plan.

In terms of medication, our pharmacy partner works to get the most cost-effective GLP-1 or Metformin medication option. If medication is not covered by insurance, you will be alerted, and we will work with you to figure out the right next steps.

Could a GLP-1 prescription be suitable for me?

The first step is taking our Aging Wellness Assessment, the most comprehensive health assessment available. It includes a detailed look at 55+ biomarkers, BMI calculation, cognitive and skin health evaluation, and a one-hour diagnostic review with a clinician. Based on your results, your Modern Age clinician will recommend the Modern Age Weight Loss Program if you are eligible.

Who is eligible for weight loss medications?

Generally, people with a BMI>27 with additional risk factors or those with a BMI>30 are eligible for GLP-1 medication. Your Modern Age clinician will advise whether you are a candidate for GLP-1 medication. You may also be suitable for a Metformin prescription under our Weight Loss Program.

How much weight will I lose?

On average, people lose 15% of their body weight on GLP-1 medication when they also make consistent lifestyle changes. Patients on Metformin medication lose an average of 5-7% of their body weight. Everyone responds to medications differently, and your Modern Age clinician is here to work with you to optimize your outcome.

Is there an alternative to GLP-1s?

Metformin is an oral medication that has been clinically linked with weight loss. It belongs to a group of drugs known as biguanide antihyperglycemic agents, which help stabilize blood sugar levels by curbing glucose production in the liver. This not only enhances insulin sensitivity but also improves anabolic signaling and promotes the breakdown of fat. On average, Metformin can help you lose about 5-7% of your body weight, making it a proven solution for shedding those extra pounds.

The medication works even better with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Our clinicians will be with you every step of the way, ensuring that you achieve your weight loss goals safely and sustainably.

What GLP-1 medications does Modern Age prescribe and how much do they cost?

Modern Age prescribes Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Rybelsus. The cost of these prescriptions varies depending on your insurance coverage. If insurance does not cover these prescriptions and you decide to purchase the medication, you can expect to spend $900-1600 monthly on your GLP-1 medicine. GLP-1 medication costs are additional to the Modern Age Weight Loss program costs.

How many appointments do I have as part of the Optimization Program?

When you are focused on weight loss with our Optimization Program, we include monthly 15-minute follow-up appointments.

Your follow-up appointments will focus on your progress, what is working well, and areas of improvement. Your clinician will answer any questions and work with you to provide the recommendations you need to hit your goals.

What are the side effects of GLP-1 medication?

Potential side effects of GLP-1s include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and an increased risk of thyroid cancer.

What are the side effects of Metformin?

Potential side effects of Metformin include stomach discomfort, cough, diarrhea, shallow breathing, decreased appetite, and a metallic taste in the mouth.

What should I know about GLP-1 medication shortages?

Modern Age works closely with our pharmacy partner to help eligible customers receive their medication quickly - typically within 48 hours. Our pharmacy partner monitors nationwide inventory for all FDA-approved GLP-1 medications and proactively alerts Modern Age of any supply issues.

Do you offer refunds on the Weight Loss Program?

Modern Age offers a refund on our Weight Loss Program until you purchase your first GLP-1 or Metformin prescription with our pharmacy partner. Post-purchase, we do not offer refunds due to the prescription cost, side effects, or other factors.

What biomarkers are tested during the blood panel?

Our Aging Wellness Assessment provides a 360 view of how your body is aging, including an in-depth review of over 55 biomarkers associated with metabolism, energy, inflammation, cognitive function, anxiety, bone density, and sexual wellness. Your Modern Age clinician can walk you through each marker.

Reviews

Victoria W.

I had my aging assessment today, and it was great! We talked through my blood work and different factors that I had noticed in my health over the past 12 months. The doctor was super knowledgeable, and I felt very heard. I purchased the optimization package straight after as I was so pleased with the experience and output.

Jean M.

I really appreciated the consultation from Dr. Moushumi Datta-Thomas, MD. I now have better understanding on possible treatment for my sleep issues and guidance on my diet. I will definitely revisit to get a deeper assessment!

Jolene M.

Had a consultation with Kyra this afternoon, and they were wonderful. I was clearly anxious about discussing what I've been experiencing, and they put me at ease and recommended a test to get to the root of my concerns. I've had issues with doctors in the past, but based on my interaction with Kyra this place is definitely a comfortable fit. If you’ve been nervous about taking the first step, look no further than Modern Age!

As part of New Year's goals to reduce meat and dairy intake, I needed a solution for my B12 deficiency. I met with NP Michaela Robbins, she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding - especially given my disdain for needles. She allowed me to get comfortable - I didn't even feel it. Modern Age also carries a range of high-end products usually only found in a dermatologist's office (EltaMD, Revision, SkinMedica). You can walk right in to purchase.

Danielle M.

The BEST experience ever!!! I was diagnosed with Graves , severe adrenal fatigue, along with innumerable food sensitivities, leaky gut and inflammation. The universe delivers the magnificent Jacki DeCunzo, and nothing’s been the same since! Her along with Modern Age specialize in hormone health, holistic healing and they UNDERSTAND!!! Every person in that office is kind and welcoming. Love this place! Highly recommend!
