About Elevate Health

What is Elevate Health?

Elevate Health is a functional medicine practice and medical spa in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, at 17266 Mack Ave Ste B. Karen Plymel, MD (FACOG, ABOIM, ABAARM, FAAMFM) leads the practice, which describes itself as a local, female owned medspa and functional medicine practice. Alongside weight management, it lists bioidentical hormone optimization for men and women, peptide injection therapy, ozone therapy, IV infusion therapy, and body composition analysis using an InBody 570 scanner.

For weight loss, the practice names compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide, and MIC Skinny Shots (lipotropic injections), with the specific combination depending on an individual evaluation. Peptide options named include NAD+, BPC-157, BPC-157/TB-500, MOTS-c, Sermorelin, GHK-Cu, and KPV. Both in-person and virtual appointments are offered.

What does it cost?

The published fee that applies across services is a one-time consultation fee of $50. For weight loss specifically, that $50 GLP-1 consultation is limited to 15 minutes and covers dosing and GLP-1 related questions only. It does not include a full functional medicine evaluation, review of other medical conditions, lab interpretation, hormone management, or a broader treatment plan. If any of that comes up during the visit, or the conversation runs long, the appointment converts to a standard functional medicine consultation, billed at $595 for new patients and $475 for established patients.

No price is published for the medications themselves, the MIC Skinny Shots, the peptide therapies, or the hormone program. The practice states it does not accept insurance for office visits, so this is cash pay. Nothing is said about financing or HSA use.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the GLP-1 medication itself costs on top of the $50 consult, and whether that price includes follow-up visits or dose adjustments. Ask whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded, since compounded versions are mentioned on the site as a lower-cost alternative. Confirm who actually writes and manages your prescription, and what happens, cost-wise, if your 15-minute GLP-1 visit turns into a longer functional medicine consultation. If you're interested in the hormone program or peptide therapy, ask what the initial workup costs, whether labs are included, and how ongoing visits are priced, since none of that is posted.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led practice that frames weight loss as part of a broader functional medicine picture, with body composition tracking and hormone or metabolic review built in, and if you're comfortable asking about costs that aren't listed up front. It's less of a fit if you want a flat, all-in monthly price for GLP-1 medication without a separate consultation structure, since the $50 visit here is narrowly scoped and can turn into a larger bill if your situation needs more than a quick dosing conversation.
