About ANU Wellness

What is ANU Wellness?

ANU Wellness is a cash-pay practice at 101 Aviators View Drive, Ste. B, in Alabaster, Alabama. The phone number is 205 570 7046. Brittany Urresta, FNP-C, founded the practice and is the only person named as a prescriber. It serves patients throughout the state.

The practice is mainly a hormone and metabolic clinic. It lists five services: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, testosterone therapy, thyroid support, medical weight loss, and targeted supplementation. The clinic does not name the medications it uses for weight loss or hormone therapy. Google lists it at 4.9 from 33 reviews, under the category Medical clinic. On its approach to lab results, it offers this. In its own words: "Normal is not the same thing as optimal."

What does it cost?

The initial evaluation costs $497. That fee covers the initial lab testing, with the cost of the labs included, a review of any recent labs you have had drawn, a review of your hormones, thyroid and metabolic health, a STYKU 3-D body scan, and a 90-minute one-on-one consultation with your provider. If you enroll in a program afterward, the $497 is applied in full toward the program fee.

The program fee is not published. Care starts with a 12-week foundational program and moves to 12-week maintenance phases once treatment is established. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone or thyroid treatment. Its payment plans page names Cherry, but it does not show monthly amounts. The practice is cash-pay only and does not bill insurance. Cancellation terms are not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the program fee is monthly, per 12-week phase, or a single payment, and whether it includes medication. If medication is extra, ask what it costs each month. Ask which medications are used for weight loss and hormone therapy, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask who writes the prescriptions and whether Brittany Urresta sees every patient. Ask what follow-up labs and check-ins cost during the 12-week program. Ask whether visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic serves patients across the state and does not say. Ask for the clinic hours, because none are listed. Ask how you cancel a program, and whether the $497 is refunded if you decide not to continue. If you plan to use Cherry, ask for its terms in writing.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Alabama, can pay out of pocket, and want the initial labs and visit bundled into one known price before you commit to a program. It is a less clear fit if you need the monthly program price, medication costs or telehealth options in writing before you book.
