About Naturally Balanced

What is Naturally Balanced?

Naturally Balanced is a nurse practitioner led wellness practice in Gilbert, Arizona, at 2680 South Val Vista Drive, Building 15, Suite 185, inside the Integrative Healing Center of Arizona. It was started in March 2020 by Cheryl Simmons, FNP-C, who has practiced as a Family Nurse Practitioner since 2009. Two other providers see patients there as well: Tiffanie Russell, FNP-C, and Stephanie Courvisier, AGPCNP-BC, AGNP-C. The practice is built around hormone balance, treating things like menopause and perimenopause, testosterone replacement for men and women, PCOS, infertility, adrenal fatigue, and hypothyroidism, using compounded hormones as its preferred approach and synthetic versions in select cases, in topical, troche, oral, and injectable forms. Weight loss and management is one of its listed services, handled through diet education, pharmaceutical management, and nutrition counseling rather than being the center of the practice. It also offers Alma TED, a non-surgical hair restoration treatment, and food sensitivity and allergy testing. Telemedicine is available for new patients by calling the office, and each provider also holds set in-office and telemedicine days during the week.

What does it cost?

A new patient visit is a 40 minute appointment priced at $185. Established patients can book a 30 minute follow-up for $135 or a shorter 20 minute visit for $95. Lab testing has its own separate pricing outside those visit fees: a cash-pay full panel through one lab runs $250, and saliva testing for adrenal and hormone levels through another lab runs $143 to $243, with other testing types available at prices that vary. There is no published price for the hormone replacement therapy itself, no price for testosterone treatment, and no price listed for the Alma TED hair restoration sessions. It is not stated whether insurance is accepted for office visits, though it does note that lab testing can be run through insurance with certain labs as an alternative to cash pay.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask directly what the hormone therapy will cost once you are past the visit fee, since the appointment price and the cost of the compounded medication appear to be billed separately. Ask whether your treatment plan will use a compounded hormone or a synthetic one, since the practice states it prefers compounding but uses synthetic in some cases. Ask which provider you'll be seeing and whether that person is open to new patients, since availability differs by provider. If weight loss is why you're calling, ask what medication or approach is actually used, since none is named. Ask how lab costs are billed if you go the cash-pay route instead of through insurance, and what a missed or canceled appointment costs.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for a nurse practitioner led practice built around hormone, adrenal, and thyroid balance, with weight loss as one piece of a broader plan rather than the main offering. It is less of a fit if you want a clear weight-loss medication program with upfront pricing, since the hormone therapy costs and the medication itself are not published anywhere, and that will mean a phone call before you know what you're actually paying.
