Q1. Do you offer prescription drugs, such as Ozempic or Mounjaro?
While our healthcare providers are board-certified and hold active licenses in many states, allowing them to prescribe medications, our online coaching is not intended to replace primary care providers who prescribe medications. Instead, we focus on lifestyle coaching using a non-pharmacological approach. The primary reason for this is that Dr. Lee’s current contract prohibits him from conducting clinical activities outside his work institution. As a result, we charge rates aligned with standard health coaching rather than physician services.
More importantly, we are deeply committed to empowering patients to take control of their health through beneficial lifestyle changes. The World Health Organization states that 70–80% of chronic diseases are linked to modifiable lifestyle factors. Rather than simply prescribing a statin for high cholesterol and calling it a day, we take a comprehensive approach—diving deeply into your cardio-metabolic health, identifying the root causes of issues, and addressing them from multiple angles, in line with scientific literature.
Q2. How effective is online health coaching? What are the pros and cons of online coaching?
Online health coaching has proven highly effective for many individuals, particularly in improving lifestyle habits and managing chronic conditions. That said, it comes with both advantages and limitations. Pros include convenience—you can participate from anywhere, at a time that suits you—making it easier to fit into busy schedules. It’s often more affordable than in-person care and provides access to resources like recorded sessions or digital tools for tracking progress. Our coaches, guided by scientific literature, tailor plans to your unique needs, fostering accountability and motivation through regular check-ins.
Cons include the lack of hands-on physical assessments, which some conditions may require, and the need for self-discipline—success depends heavily on your engagement. Unlike in-person visits, we can’t prescribe medications (as noted in Q1), so we focus solely on non-pharmacological approaches. Additionally, we cannot obtain sophisticated lab studies—such as food sensitivity tests, stool microbiome analysis, or comprehensive lipid panels (e.g., LDL particle size and numbers)—which could be helpful for certain conditions. For those who thrive with virtual support and are motivated to take charge of their health, online coaching can be a game-changer; for others needing direct medical intervention, it’s best paired with traditional care.
Q3. Do you take insurance?
At the moment, we do not accept insurance, as Medicare, Medicaid, and many insurance companies do not reimburse health coaching. If your insurance does cover health coaching, please contact us and let us know the required form to fill out. We can provide a superbill and relevant CPT codes
Q4. Where are you currently located? What if I would like to ask for an in-person coach or consultation?
I am currently located in Salt Lake City, Utah. I travel to Taiwan every 2-3 months. Please contact us if you require an in-person coach/consultation, and we can deterime if the arrangement is feasible.
