What is Empower Lifestyle Medicine?
Empower Lifestyle Medicine is a membership-based direct care clinic at 4001 Newberry Rd, Ste B1, in Gainesville, FL 32607. Its phone number is (352) 200-2465. It is physician-led and offers four services: Weight and Metabolic Care, Menopause Care, Health Optimization Care and Cancer Survivorship.
Weight and Metabolic Care includes injectable GLP-1 medications, if appropriate, along with lifestyle change. It does not name the medications it uses for weight loss or hormone care. Menopause Care offers hormonal and non-hormonal treatments. In its own words: "All our physicians are Menopause Society Certified Practitioners."
Cancer Survivorship is a program covering fatigue, pain, deconditioning, bone and muscle health, cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and hormonal and sexual health. Health Optimization Care is built around understanding your current health profile. The prescribing physicians are Sharon Byun, FACOG, MD, Olga Ihnatsenka, MD, and Anamaria Yeung, MD. All three also write articles on menopause and weight loss for its blog. On Google it has 5 stars from 44 reviews and is listed as a medical office.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It offers a free discovery call, which you can schedule through its website. Visits are cash pay. In its own words: "Visits are not billed to insurance." Labs, imaging, and medications may be billed to insurance. It does not say whether a membership fee would include medication.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask what the membership costs, what it covers, and how cancellation works, since none of that is published. Ask whether medication is included in any fee, and whether a GLP-1 medication would be brand-name or compounded. Ask which of the three physicians would write your prescription, and whether you would see the same one at each visit.
Ask what labs, imaging, and follow-up visits cost, and which of those your insurance would cover. Ask whether visits can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned. Ask about office hours, which are not listed, and how long the practice has been open, which it does not say.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician's time for weight, menopause, or midlife health, you are comfortable paying cash for visits, and you can get to the Gainesville office. It is worth a call before you book, so you can get the membership terms and medication costs in writing.
