Vital Menopause

About Vital Menopause

What is Vital Menopause?

Vital Menopause is a cash-pay practice at 105 Wells St, Suite 210, in Erie, Colorado. It is mainly a menopause and midlife hormone care practice. Stephanie Traver, MSN, WHNP, founded it and is the only person listed as its prescriber. The clinic also describes her as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. The phone number is (720) 722 5018.

The clinic offers four services: Hormone Therapy, Medical Weight Management, Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching, and Medical Aesthetics. The only medication it names is a GLP-1 medication, which comes with ongoing medical management in its top package. Elizabeth Levine, listed as Vital Wellness Coach, leads the coaching. Nancy Howard is a clinical assistant and aesthetic specialist, and Sarah Qtaish is the administrative coordinator. None of them is listed as a prescriber.

Patients can be seen in person or virtually across Colorado. The clinic does not publish its hours. Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 9 reviews.

In its own words: "This isn’t “just aging,” and you are not crazy."

What does it cost?

It does not publish a consultation fee. Membership is priced monthly, and the rate drops on longer terms: $225/month on a monthly plan, $213.75/month on a 3 month plan, $207/month on a 6 month plan, and $191.25/month on an annual plan. Membership includes hormone therapy, a 30 to 60 minute consultation, text and email access, customized nutrition and lifestyle plans, and intake and follow-up labs. Standard labs are included. Functional labs cost extra.

The four-month packages are priced separately. Vital Foundations is $1,200, Vital Renew is $2800, and the package that includes GLP-1 medication is $3,600. The membership price does not say whether medication is included, and the clinic gives no price for the GLP-1 medication on its own. The practice is cash-pay and does not accept insurance or Medicare. It mentions flexible payment options but does not describe them, and it does not state cancellation or commitment terms for membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the membership price includes the GLP-1 medication, and what that medication costs on its own. Ask whether it is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether the GLP-1 prescription comes from Stephanie Traver, since she is the only prescriber listed. The membership description says most hormone therapy scenarios are fully covered, with a few exceptions, but it does not name the exceptions, so ask what they are.

Ask what the consultation fee is, and whether the flexible payment options involve financing, interest or added fees. Ask what functional labs cost and how often follow-up labs are run. Ask how cancellation works and whether the monthly plan has a minimum term. Ask for the clinic hours before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman in midlife, you expect to pay cash, you want hormone care from a menopause-focused nurse practitioner, and you can book in person in Erie or by video from elsewhere in Colorado. It is not the place for peptide or longevity medicine, which the clinic does not offer.
