What You Are Actually Getting

Two appointments, about a week apart. The first gathers the data. The second is where it becomes a plan.

Step One

Comprehensive Lab Panel

15 Minutes · No Fasting Required

A specialized draw that goes well past a routine physical. We are looking at hormones, thyroid function, vitamin levels, metabolic markers, and the other indicators that explain how your body is functioning rather than just confirming you are not sick.

Your Nurse Practitioner reviews everything against your history and symptoms before your next visit. You will not spend your evaluation watching someone read a lab report for the first time.

Step Two

Medical Evaluation

45 Minutes · In Clinic or Virtual

Scheduled about a week after your draw. Your story, your symptoms, and your results finally sit in the same room. Your provider works through your health history, your lifestyle, and what you actually want to feel like, then builds a plan around all of it.

Recommendations may include hormone therapy, GLP-1 therapy, peptides, targeted supplements, lifestyle guidance, or further testing. Many patients begin treatment the same day when it is medically appropriate.

$575 covers both visits. Treatment beyond the evaluation is customized and priced to your individual plan. And if we do not think you need what you came in asking about, we will tell you that.

What the Panel Looks At

A standard annual physical checks whether something is wrong. This panel checks how well you are actually running, which is a different question with a much longer answer.

Hormones

The markers that drive energy, mood, libido, sleep, and body composition.

Thyroid function

Frequently the quiet explanation behind fatigue, weight changes, and brain fog.

Vitamin levels

Deficiencies that are common, correctable, and rarely tested for.

Metabolic markers

How your body is handling insulin, glucose, and fuel in general.

Your symptoms

What you are experiencing day to day, treated as clinical data rather than background noise.

Your history

What you have already tried, what worked, and what quietly stopped working.

Being told your labs are normal is not the same as being told you are fine. A result can sit inside a reference range and still be nowhere near where you function best.

The MK Approach to Medical Wellness

One Evaluation, Every Door Open

This is the only pathway that qualifies you across our full program. Everything below becomes available to your provider once your panel is complete.

Hormone therapy. Bioidentical testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, delivered as pellets, injections, creams, patches, or oral depending on what fits you.

GLP-1 therapy. Semaglutide and tirzepatide, in microdose or full dose tracks, when metabolic support belongs in your plan.

Peptide therapy. NAD+, GHK-Cu, and recovery and regenerative peptides prescribed alongside the rest of your protocol.

Targeted supplementation. Based on the deficiencies your panel actually turns up, not a generic stack sold to everyone.

Lifestyle guidance. Sleep, nutrition, stress, and movement, addressed as part of the plan rather than as a parting suggestion.

Ongoing monitoring. Follow-up labs and dose adjustments, because a first protocol is a starting point and not a final answer.

Is This the Right Starting Point for You?

There are three ways into our medical wellness program. Most patients start here, but not everyone needs to. Here is how they compare.

 

Metabolic and Weight Management Evaluation

A focused 30-minute consultation for patients whose main goal is metabolism, body composition, inflammation, or weight. Streamlined, with no comprehensive hormone work-up.

Opens access to

GLP-1 therapy, peptides, and supplements. Not hormone therapy.

 

Peptide Initial Visit

Our quickest entry point, built for patients who already know peptides are what they want or who are transferring peptide care from another provider.

Opens access to

Peptides and supplements only.

Who You Will Work With

The same two people from your first draw through every adjustment that follows.

Leslie

Nurse Practitioner

Leslie leads our medical wellness program and conducts every hormone optimization evaluation, in clinic and virtually. She reviews your labs, builds your protocol, and manages your care as your plan evolves.

Taylor

Wellness Nurse

Taylor handles comprehensive lab panels and wellness pre-consultations. If you are still working out whether this is the right path, she is the person to talk to first.

Common Questions

What does the $575 cover? +
Both visits. The comprehensive lab panel and the 45-minute medical evaluation, including your provider's review of your results ahead of time. Treatment after that is priced to your individual plan.
Why two appointments instead of one? +
Because labs take time to come back, and reading them properly takes time too. The week between visits is what lets your provider study your results against your history before you sit down. It is the difference between a real conversation and a live reading of a printout.
Do I need to fast? +
No. The draw takes about 15 minutes and you can eat normally beforehand.
Can the evaluation be virtual? +
Yes. Your evaluation is available by telehealth with the same provider and the same recommendations, and most therapies can be prescribed during that visit when medically appropriate. Your lab draw happens in clinic. If pellet therapy is part of your plan, we schedule that insertion separately in office.
Is this for men too? +
Yes. We run male and female panels and evaluations. The symptoms overlap more than most people expect, and so does the value of actually testing for them.
How is this different from my annual physical? +
A physical is built to catch disease. This panel is built to explain function. We test considerably more, and we read the results against how you actually feel rather than against a reference range alone.
Can I start treatment the same day? +
Often, yes. Many patients leave their evaluation having already begun. It depends on what your provider recommends and whether it is medically appropriate for you.
What if I only care about weight or peptides? +
Then you may not need this pathway. Our Metabolic and Weight Management evaluation is a faster route to GLP-1 therapy and peptides, and there is a peptide-only visit as well. What those pathways do not open is hormone therapy, which requires the full lab panel.
Do you accept insurance? +
More insurers are beginning to reimburse for components of hormone therapy and GLP-1 medications, but many do not and there is no guarantee. Payment is due in full at the time of your appointment. If you choose to pursue reimbursement, you would file directly with your insurer. We accept HSA, American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, check, cash, and financing through Cherry. HSA patients are responsible for confirming qualified expenses with their administrator.
I am not ready to commit to this yet. +
Then start with a complimentary Wellness Pre-Consultation. Thirty minutes with our wellness nurse to talk through what you are experiencing and which pathway makes sense, with no pressure. If you decide to move forward that day, your lab draw can often be completed during the same visit.
