One hundred dollars to qualify the fit.

Your consultation fee isn't a product charge — it's a commitment on both sides. It gets you 60 minutes with a physician, a full review of your intake, and a clear answer on whether we're the right practice for you. When you activate your protocol, the full $100 is applied to your first order.

What our patients
are saying.

Real outcomes from real people who refused to settle for "you're fine" and went looking for medicine that actually meets them where they are.

★★★★★

"I'd been to three other doctors who told me my labs were normal. Six months in, I'm sleeping better, training harder, and finally feel like myself again. The fact that I do all of it from home is the cherry on top."

M
Michael R.
Patient · HRT + Peptides
★★★★★

"The first physician who actually listened. Video visits feel more thorough than any in-person doctor I've seen — and the depth of lab work and personalization is nothing like what I'd experienced before. Genuinely life-changing."

S
Sarah L.
Patient · Hormone Optimization
★★★★★

"Down 38 lbs, off two medications, and my energy is back to where it was a decade ago. Everything from my phone — labs, video visits, prescriptions to my door. This is what real medicine looks like in 2026."
