What’s new or exciting at your place?
Each hormone and weight-management patient is evaluated according to their symptoms with precise lab work-ups. Options include different methods of bioidentical hormone replacement including patches, transdermal creams, compounded pills or pellets.
Weight optimization patients are also evaluated with lab testing and biometric scale measurements to determine body composition (subcutaneous and visceral fat weight, muscle mass, bone mass and water) to get a clear analysis of your body’s current health status. Using GLP-1 agonist injections, (semaglutide or tirzepitide), your weight loss and symptoms are closely monitored throughout your program.
What strategy do you use to differentiate your business from your competition?

Each patient’s plan is safely tailored to his or her unique symptoms and medical history. Female hormone patients may have symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, mood swings, fatigue, weight gain or decreased bone density. For females, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone replacement may be considered. Male patients may have symptoms of decreased libido, fatigue, difficulty gaining muscle and recovering from exercise, and testosterone replacement can help them.
Weight optimization patients are closely monitored for side effects and are held accountable with their eating by consulting with our Certified Master Nutrition Therapist, Christine Pierangeli. To counteract muscle loss during the weight loss program, patients will also have a personalized weight training plan designed by Sara Manwiller, MSPT, ATC, CSCS. And, to support your behavioral health during your wellness journey, patients will have access to working with Dr. Heather Gill, a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional and Licensed Professional Counselor. Dr. Andrew Veit is the LifeWorx Wellness medical director and oversees all of the medical prescribing.
While most of the hormone replacement therapies and weight management medications are not typically covered by insurance, lab testing, treatment and medication pricing through LifeWoRx Wellness is more affordable than most local options.
What philosophy do you follow in dealing with your customers?
Each patient deserves to feel their best, and treatment plans are safely personalized to each person’s unique needs.
What can your customers expect from you?
You will not be left alone to manage your health journey. You will have open communication with your practitioners throughout your treatment.
