About Lose Yourself Weight Loss and Wellness

What is Lose Yourself Weight Loss and Wellness?

Lose Yourself Weight Loss and Wellness is a nurse practitioner-led practice at 1223 Augusta West Parkway, Suites 2 & 3, in Augusta, Georgia. Hollie Mendricks, FNP is the prescriber. She has worked in healthcare for 12 years, and her background includes mental health, primary care, weight loss and functional medicine.

It offers six listed services: weight loss, aesthetics (Botox and Dysport are named), IV hydration, hormone therapy, functional health and red-light therapy. The hormone therapy program names estradiol, testosterone, progesterone and thyroid hormones. The weight-loss program mentions prescription weight-loss medication when clinically appropriate, but it names no specific drug. In its own words: "visits by appointment only." It does not publish hours. It holds a 5-star Google rating from 27 reviews.

What does it cost?

Weight-loss plans start as low as $68.50 per week, and it does not say whether that figure includes medication. The initial medical weight-loss visit costs $50 and does not include medication. The Weight-Loss Subscription is $150 per month for a 4-week cycle, with weekly visits and methylated B-complex injections included. A Mega-Burn Lipotropic B12 complex injection is $30.

Hormone therapy starts with an initial consultation and lab testing for $200, followed by a $150 monthly subscription. Medication is paid separately to the pharmacy and is not in the monthly fee. Follow-up labs are $45 at 3-6 month intervals. Men's testosterone therapy uses the same $200 start and $150 monthly fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $68.50 weekly plan includes medication, and what the medication itself costs. It does not say whether its medications are brand-name or compounded, so ask which one you would receive and which pharmacy fills it. The first consultation is described as free in one place and as a $50 visit in another, so ask which applies.

Ask what follow-up visits cost beyond the $45 lab rate. It does not say whether telehealth is offered. The weight-loss program includes a bullet about peptide and injection options with no details, so ask which peptides it offers, who prescribes them and what they cost. On cancellation, it says: "We require 24 hours notice for any cancellations." A cancellation within 24 hours of the appointment carries a fee, so ask how that is charged.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a nurse practitioner in Augusta to oversee medical weight loss or hormone therapy, and you are prepared to pay for visits, labs and medication as separate costs. It is worth a call once you have clear answers on what the weekly plan includes and how the first visit is priced.
