Your Questions, Answered

  • Mt. Burdell Health is a metabolic weight management community focused on sustainable health, strength, and behavior change. We integrate medical insight, movement, and behavioral support to help people build habits that last without shame, extremes, or quick fixes.

  • At launch, Mt. Burdell Health offers a membership model led directly by Dr. Sara Modlin-Tucker. Current services focus on metabolic medication management (including glp-1/GIP medications as appropriate), personalized guidance, education, and community support, with future expansion planned to include small-group personal training and behavioral health programming.

  • At this time, Mt. Burdell Health is not able to accept Medicare patients. As a physician who is currently enrolled in Medicare, federal regulations do not allow me to enter into a private, membership-based or cash relationship with Medicare beneficiaries for services. While this is a regulatory limitation rather than a clinical one, I hope to expand access in the future. Please reach out if you would like to be on a call list for medicare patients, when we are able to offer care to medicare patients in the future.

  • At this time we do not contract with any health insurance companies and are a direct patient care model.

  • We follow the guidance of the Obesity Medicine Association, which recommends against using compounded GLP-1 medications due to concerns about quality, safety, and consistency. To ensure the highest standard of care, we only prescribe FDA-approved medications sourced from reputable pharmacies.
