The Metabolic Wellness Program is a more structured, high-touch support option for individuals seeking greater accountability, continuity, education, and personalized guidance beyond traditional appointment-based care.
Program includes:
✔ Two structured follow-up visits monthly (30–45 minutes each) for progress review, symptom monitoring, treatment refinement, education, and collaborative problem-solving
✔ Secure between-visit messaging support for non-urgent program-related questions, including medication questions, side effect concerns, accountability support, or clarification regarding your care plan
✔ Ongoing accountability and progress monitoring to help support sustainable behavior change and long-term wellness goals
✔ Personalized education and guidance related to nutrition, metabolic wellness, lifestyle habits, emotional eating patterns, activity planning, and broader health optimization
✔ Structured treatment planning and goal refinement based on your progress, needs, and clinical response over time
✔ Priority scheduling access for active program members
This program is designed to provide a more intentional and supportive care framework—not just isolated follow-up visits.

The Metabolic Wellness Optimization Membership is $349 per month. This pricing reflects the additional structure, access, continuity, education, accountability, and clinical support provided beyond standard follow-up appointments.
Because meaningful metabolic health change often requires consistency, patients are generally encouraged to participate in the Metabolic Optimization Program for approximately three months to establish treatment foundations, optimize response, and benefit from enhanced clinical support.
Program duration is ultimately individualized based on clinical progress, patient goals, and the ongoing appropriateness of treatment. When clinically appropriate, patients may choose to continue the full program, transition to a lower-touch Maintenance Program, or discontinue participation prior to the next billing cycle in accordance with program terms.
Metabolic Maintenance Program (when clinically appropriate): $199/month
Designed for patients who have established treatment stability and are ready for a lower-frequency continuation model while maintaining ongoing support. -
The Metabolic Optimization Program is designed as a higher-touch, structured support experience for individuals actively working toward meaningful metabolic health changes, behavior change, or medication-assisted treatment optimization. This phase typically includes more frequent follow-up (such as biweekly visits), closer progress monitoring, accountability support, education, and more active treatment refinement to help build momentum and establish sustainable habits.
The Metabolic Maintenance Membership is intended for individuals who have completed the initial optimization phase or are otherwise clinically appropriate for a lower-frequency continuity model. This membership focuses on ongoing support, progress monitoring, medication management when appropriate, accountability, and long-term sustainability with less intensive follow-up.
Maintenance membership may include:
✔ Lower-frequency structured follow-up visits (typically monthly or as clinically appropriate)
✔ Ongoing metabolic progress monitoring and treatment refinement
✔ Medication management and prescription monitoring when clinically appropriate
✔ Continued nutrition, lifestyle, and health education
✔ Accountability and goal review to support long-term success
✔ Lab review and treatment planning when appropriate
✔ Secure between-visit messaging for non-urgent program-related questions
✔ Priority scheduling accessIn short: the Optimization Program is the active “building and momentum” phase, while the Maintenance Membership is designed to help support long-term consistency, accountability, and sustainable progress over time.
-

This program is designed to support active participation and consistency.
