About The Renewal Lab

What is The Renewal Lab?

The Renewal Lab is an integrative medicine practice at 15 8th St N in St. Petersburg, FL 33701. Jen Allen, FNP-C, is a nurse practitioner who runs it and is the only prescriber named. She has 16 years in medicine, including emergency care, and ran a clinic in Colorado before bringing her work to St. Pete. The practice's Google listing shows a 5 rating from 9 reviews.

It offers Integrative Medicine, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), PCOS treatment and peptide therapy. It also offers three membership programs: Optimization Programs, Renewal Programs and Access Plan. The only medication named is oral estradiol. No GLP-1 weight loss service is listed, so weight loss is not one of its named programs. Hormone care looks like the main focus. In its own words: "At The Renewal Lab, I focus on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) because it works with your body, not against it."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership prices. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether medication is included in any program, or how cancelling a membership works.

The three memberships cover different things. Renewal Programs include lab testing and regular follow-up visits. Optimization Programs add advanced lab panels, gut and microbiome testing and BHRT medications. Access Plan is described as a lower-cost option for patients who use insurance or outside resources for labs and medications. Initial visits run 60 to 90 minutes, and follow-ups run at least 30 minutes.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs each prescription, and whether Jen Allen, FNP-C prescribes the hormone and peptide medications. Ask whether any membership fee includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand name or compounded.

Ask whether labs and microbiome testing are billed separately, and what follow-up visits cost. Ask whether visits can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned. Ask whether the clinic takes insurance or HSA payment, and what notice is required to cancel. Ask for office hours at 727-409-0332, since none are listed. If weight loss is your reason for calling, ask directly whether the clinic offers GLP-1 medication, because none is named.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want ongoing hormone care from a nurse practitioner at one St. Petersburg office, and you are willing to ask about price and medication before you commit. If you need a published price list or a named weight loss program, call first.
