Most clinics bundle everything into a flat rate (e.g., $500/month). This sounds convenient, but it means they often overcharge you on lower doses to cover their costs on higher doses. We believe in transparency. By separating the fee, you pay a fixed rate for our expert care ($125), and you pay the actual cost of the medication. This protects you from "Dose Penalties"—price hikes just because you need a stronger dose to see results.

Think of the membership as a retainer for a Specialist Medical Team. It includes:

• Unlimited Provider Access: Direct messaging for dose adjustments and side effect management.

• System Protection: Prescription management for Hair Loss and Skin Elasticity protocols.

• Quarterly Lab Reviews: Deep-dive analysis of your metabolic and hormonal markers.

• Virtual Urgent Care: $15 Treatment for minor issues like Sinus Infections and UTIs (so you don't have to pay higher urgent care copays).

• The Patient Library: Access to our proprietary nutritional guides and protocols.

• Note: The cost of medication and third-party lab fees are separate.

No. We believe our results will keep you here, not a contract. You can cancel your membership at any time with 30 days' written notice. We do not require 6-month or 12-month commitments like many MedSpas.

• For the Membership Fee: No, this is a direct-pay service.

• For Labs: Yes. We can send lab orders to Quest or LabCorp so you can use your insurance benefits.

• For Hormones: Yes. If a standard generic medication (like Testosterone Cypionate or Estradiol) is available at your local pharmacy, we can send it there for you to use your insurance.

• For Weight Loss Meds: Most insurance plans do not cover GLP-1s for weight loss. Therefore, most of our patients utilize our direct-access compounding options, which are cash-pay but significantly cheaper than the retail price of brand-name drugs.

A MedSpa focuses on aesthetics; we focus on Metabolic Disease.

• They treat the symptom: They give you a shot to suppress appetite.

• We treat the system: We analyze your genetics, your "Set Point," and your hormones (Perimenopause/Low T) to find out why you gained weight. We also proactively treat side effects like hair loss and muscle wasting, which most spas ignore.

If you choose to join the Empower Vitality Membership during or within 24 hours of your audit, we will credit 100% of that $99 fee toward your first month's membership. This effectively makes your initial consultation free.

Not necessarily, but these medications are meant for long-term use. Because we are Bariatric Experts, our goal is to lower your body's "Set Point." Once you reach your goal weight, we transition you to a Maintenance Protocol. This might involve titrating down to a lower micro-dose, switching to maintenance peptides, or relying on the metabolic reset we have achieved through muscle preservation.

As a member, you can message us during business hours if you have a minor acute issue (Sinus infection, UTI, Pink Eye, Allergies). We will evaluate you virtually and call in a prescription to your local pharmacy if needed at a discounted rate of $15 per visit.

• Note: This service is for minor ailments only. We do not treat emergencies, chest pain, or prescribe controlled substances for pain/anxiety.
