About A Balanced Life

What is A Balanced Life?

A Balanced Life Integrative Medicine has its offices in Morton, Illinois. Hormone therapy comes first among its listed services, followed by a weight loss, nutrition and detoxification program and Botox treatments. It also sells nutritional supplements through an online shop. Google lists it as a weight loss service, with a 4.7 rating from 35 reviews.

The practice names two prescribers: Beth Hayes, APN-BC, an advanced practice nurse, and Chris Wade, PA-C, a physician assistant. In its own words: "Our medical staff specializes in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy." Depending on symptoms and hormone testing, it may prescribe estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones, DHEA or melatonin, or others as needed. Its weight loss program, RESET 2.0, is self-paced and online, built on video lessons, coaching and a support community. Its weight loss material does not describe any prescription weight loss medication.

This listing is for its Morton office at 370 E Courtland St.

What does it cost?

A Balanced Life does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, visit fee, monthly rate or membership term listed, and nothing on how hormone therapy, prescriptions or lab work are billed. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not mention financing or HSA payment.

The first visit happens in steps: a detailed health history by email, a physical exam and blood work done in the office, results back in 8 to 10 days, and a follow-up visit booked on your way out. None of those steps has a stated price, so ask for a written fee schedule before you schedule anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which provider would prescribe for you, and whether a physician is involved in your care. Ask whether the monthly fee covers medication or whether prescriptions are billed separately, and whether the hormones are brand-name products or compounded by a pharmacy. Ask what the first visit labs cost, what follow-up labs cost, and whether follow-up can be done by telehealth, which it does not mention. Ask whether it takes insurance, how cancellation works, and whether any prescription weight loss medication is offered. The practice encourages patients to keep a family provider, so ask how it would work alongside yours. When you book, confirm which Morton office you would visit and its address.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy from one of two named providers and want lab costs and the monthly fee in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for prescription weight loss medication, since none is described.
