## What Makes Moonshot Different

1. **Medical + Rehab Under One Roof:** Your medical provider and rehab specialist work together, not in silos. Labs inform rehab. Pain affects hormones. Everything is coordinated.
2. **Performance Medicine Philosophy:** We focus on optimization, not just treating disease. We measure early, interpret in context, and optimize before problems appear.
3. **Data-Driven Care:** 60+ biomarker blood panels (vs. 10-15 at a typical physical), DEXA body composition tracking, and long-term trending of results.
4. **Optimal vs. Normal:** We interpret results through a performance lens — optimal ranges, not just "within normal limits."
5. **Transparent Pricing:** No hidden fees. No surprise lab costs. Published pricing on the website.
6. **No Referral Needed:** Book directly for any service — medical or rehab.
7. **Same Building as Moonshot CrossFit:** Patients can train, recover, and optimize without leaving the building.

## How It Works (Medical)

1. **Consult** — Discuss your goals, symptoms, and history.
2. **Measure** — Comprehensive labs and DEXA establish your baseline.
3. **Optimize** — A personalized plan based on your data and goals.
4. **Track** — Re-measure and refine over time.

### Where is Moonshot Medical located?

### How is Moonshot different from a regular doctor or telehealth clinic?
We focus on optimization, not just treating disease. We test more biomarkers (60+ vs typical 10-15), interpret results through a performance lens (optimal ranges, not just "normal"), track changes over time with DEXA and repeat labs, and provide hands-on medical oversight rather than remote prescription writing.

### What is performance medicine?
Performance medicine is a data-driven approach to healthcare that focuses on optimizing function and longevity, not just treating disease. We use comprehensive diagnostics (bloodwork, DEXA scans) to establish baselines, identify inefficiencies, and create personalized optimization plans.

### What's included in the hormone optimization program?
Men's hormone optimization is $235/month and women's is $285/month. Both programs include medical oversight and ongoing care, 2 DEXA scans per year, comprehensive labs every 6 months, 1 vitamin injection per month, and additional diagnostics as needed. Medication costs depend on your protocol.

### What should I expect at my first chiropractic visit?
We start with a thorough evaluation — your history, movement assessment, and identifying what's causing your pain. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, hands-on therapy, and exercises to do at home. Most patients see significant improvement within 6-8 visits.

### Does Moonshot accept insurance for rehab services?
Yes. Dr. Michael's chiropractic and rehabilitation services accept many insurance plans. Medical optimization services (blood panels, hormone therapy, weight loss) are cash-pay with transparent pricing.

### Does Moonshot offer retatrutide?
No. Retatrutide is not FDA-approved and is not eligible for 503A compounding. Moonshot Medical does not prescribe, dispense, or compound retatrutide. We currently offer semaglutide and tirzepatide for medically supervised weight loss. Retatrutide is a triple-agonist (GLP-1/GIP/glucagon) drug from Eli Lilly in Phase 3 clinical trials (TRIUMPH program). Educational background: https://moonshotmp.com/learn/retatrutide/

### What is the Moonshot Ecosystem?
The Moonshot Ecosystem refers to the integrated health and fitness services available under one roof at 542 Busse Hwy in Park Ridge. It includes Moonshot CrossFit (training), on-site physical therapy and rehab (recovery), and performance medicine including labs, hormone optimization, and metabolic health programs (optimization).
