Questions
Everything we get asked, answered honestly.
Clinical
Are you a real medical practice?+
Yes. Care is delivered by board-certified physicians under My Life Spark P.C. and affiliated state PCs. We are a state-licensed medical practice, not a med-spa or coupon clinic.
Which GLP-1 medications do you prescribe?+
FDA-approved branded therapies — semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) — selected by your physician based on your full chart. We do not rely on compounded supply chains.
Will I lose muscle?+
Industry average lean-mass loss on GLP-1 monotherapy is 30–41%. With the Spark muscle-preservation Rx (resistance training + protein targets + serial DEXA), our pilot cohort retained 92% of lean mass.
What is deprescribing?+
As your weight, BP, lipids, and glucose normalize, your physician systematically tapers medications you may no longer need — statins, antihypertensives, SSRIs, PPIs. Always under medical supervision.
Pricing & Insurance
Is this covered by insurance?+
Spark is a cash-pay membership designed to remove PBM games. Many members use HSA/FSA. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement where applicable.
What does membership include?+
Physician visits, full workup labs, DEXA, care-team coaching, prescription management, and unlimited messaging. Medications and select advanced labs are billed at transparent pass-through pricing.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Month-to-month. No long-term contracts.
Safety & Privacy
Is my data secure?+
Spark OS™ is HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 Type II, and operates under signed BAAs across the stack. We never sell PHI.
Who is on call?+
A licensed clinician is reachable 24/7 for urgent issues, with structured triage built into the care plan.
Franchise
Who is a fit for ownership?+
Multi-unit operators, physician investor groups, and family offices with healthcare or premium-service track records. See /franchise for unit economics.
Do I need to be a physician to own a clinic?+
No, but a state-licensed Medical Director leads every clinic under the PC. We help recruit if needed.
