About VitalityMatch

The honest guide to cash-pay health services. Real prices, real credentials.

Cash-pay healthcare — medical weight loss, hormone therapy, peptide therapy, longevity medicine — is one of the fastest-growing corners of American medicine, and one of the least transparent. Prices are hidden behind "book a consult" buttons. Credentials are implied rather than stated. Marketing language does the work that evidence should. VitalityMatch exists to fix that: we research clinics and telehealth providers, verify that they're real businesses with real locations, publish what they actually charge when they publish it, explain what credentials actually mean, and link you to independent reviews so you can decide for yourself.

Clinics never pay to be listed here. They can pay to claim their listing or for clearly labeled featured placement, and some outbound links are affiliate links — but inclusion, exclusion, and the facts in every profile are based on our research alone. You can read exactly how we make money in our Affiliate Disclosure.

The person behind the information

Laura de Leon

Founder & Health Content Reviewer

Laura has spent more than 24 years leading global clinical development programs, currently serving as a Vice President and Head of Clinical Development Operations in precision oncology. Her career spans every phase of drug development and every kind of company that runs it — large pharma, biotech, medical device, and contract research — including clinical operations and program leadership roles at PAREXEL International, Takeda Oncology, EMD Serono, Syndax Pharmaceuticals, and Seres Therapeutics. Her work has centered on delivering complex, multi-center clinical trials against exacting quality standards — the same rigor this site applies to evaluating clinics.

She holds a BA in Psychology from Boston College and an MS in Health Product Regulation and Health Policy from Regis College — she has spent her professional life inside the FDA regulatory pathway that determines how medicines are studied, approved, and monitored. Knowing the difference between what's proven, what's promising, and what's marketing is the lens every guide on this site is reviewed through.

Beyond the lab and the trial site, Laura has been a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner since 2009 and is a certified coach focused on health, performance, and behavior change. She is currently completing the NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) and Certified Wellness Coach (CWC) programs, along with NASM's Understanding Weight Loss Medications certification. This page will be updated as each certification is completed — because that's the standard we hold the clinics to.

How we work

Every listing starts with systematic research — sweeping a state city by city across all four categories — followed by verification: confirming the business is real, the location exists, and the claims on our profile match the clinic's own published materials. Our guides link to primary sources, state what the evidence actually shows (including when it's thin), and carry the same disclaimer everywhere: talk to a licensed clinician before starting or changing any treatment.
