Why nothing has held
You counted. You walked. You cut carbs, then cut them again. Maybe you got the shot from an app that never asked your name. Every one of those approaches was aimed at the number on the scale — not at the reason the number won't move.
The standard approach
The ARCHE approach
Your first visit
You can walk out after it and never come back — and you'll still leave knowing more about your body than most people learn in a decade.
Time with Dr. Muvvala normally runs
through our $250/month membership.

Why isn't it free?
Because free consultations aren't free. Somebody pays for them — usually the person who gets talked into something on the day. We'd rather charge forty-nine dollars and give you an actual medical appointment, with a scan and a physician's time, than give away an hour designed to close you.
Who you'll actually see
ARCHE Health is a direct primary care practice — small patient panels, long appointments, and the same physician every visit. Precisely the opposite of how most weight loss medication gets prescribed in this country right now.
Before you book
Bring with you: a list of what you've tried, any medications and supplements you take now, and any recent lab work. It saves the first fifteen minutes so he spends that time on you instead of catching up.
Straight answers
It might not work this time either, and Dr. Muvvala will tell you if he thinks so. But "it didn't work" often means the dose was wrong, it was escalated too fast, side effects went unmanaged because nobody was reachable, or something underlying was never looked at. Those are all things a physician with your results in front of him can address. A prescribing app cannot.
Reschedule free any time up to 24 hours before — there's a link in your confirmation email and it takes one click. Inside 24 hours, call (505) 605-3286 and we'll do our best.
We do hold the $49 for no-shows without notice: the clinic is only open about twenty hours a week, and an empty slot is one someone else could have used.
Your body composition results — the actual printout, fat mass and lean mass separately — plus a physician's read on what he thinks is going on and what he'd look at next. Yours to take to any provider you like. We'd rather you stayed, but you're not leaving empty-handed either way.
Reasonable — this is real medicine, it has real side effects, most commonly gastrointestinal, and some people shouldn't take it at all. A significant part of the visit is finding out whether you're one of them. You'll also have an actual physician to call if something feels wrong, which matters more than people realize until they need it.
For the baseline visit, yes — the scan happens in our clinic. Dr. Muvvala is also licensed in California, Florida, Texas and Maryland, so if you're in one of those states, mention it when you book and we'll tell you honestly what can and can't be done remotely.
