About Olakino Center for Lifestyle Medicine

What is Olakino Center for Lifestyle Medicine?

Olakino Center for Lifestyle Medicine is a physician-led practice at 328 Uluniu Street, Suite 207, in Kailua, Hawaii. Sarah Canyon MD PhD started the practice and is the physician who prescribes. She is board-certified in Family Medicine and in Lifestyle Medicine. The team also includes Alyssa Los RN RD, a nurse and registered dietitian, and Ginger Lockette PT, a physical therapist and certified health coach. They handle the food, movement and coaching side of care. The practice has 5 stars from 7 Google reviews and is listed as a medical office.

Its main service is Medication Assisted Weight Loss Plans, with prescriptions for semaglutide or tirzepatide. It also offers a 3 Month Plan, B12 injections and InBody body composition analysis. The clinic calls its tirzepatide approach microdosing. In its own words: "we offer TIRZEPATIDE a GLP1 and GIP agonist at reduced doses." The clinic also lists other conditions these medicines are studied for. The clinic does not describe offering treatment for those, so they should not be the reason you book. Menopause consults are no longer offered at this office. The clinic refers those patients to Dr. Canyon's MDVIP practice. The clinic also lists Emsella and Emsculpt Neo, but it gives no detail on either.

What does it cost?

The 3 Month Plan costs $1150 for 3 months, which the clinic lists as $95.83 a week. It is offered to patients who bring their own medication or take none, so the medication is not included. The plan includes 2 appointments with the physician, 2 with the registered dietitian, 2 with the health coach or physical therapist, 2 B12 injections and 2 InBody analyses. The clinic also sells monthly packages for medication only, but it does not publish a price for them. It does not publish a price for a plan that includes the medication.

Free consultations are available. The clinic mentions financing but does not say whether insurance is accepted. It also does not state cancellation terms or any commitment length.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and whether Dr. Canyon reviews your case herself. Ask for the total monthly cost with medication included, and whether the tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded. Ask how the reduced dose is chosen and adjusted, and what the clinic bases that approach on. Ask whether lab work is required and what it and the follow-up visits cost. Ask whether follow-ups can be done by video, since the clinic does not say. Ask how to cancel and whether the 3 Month Plan renews automatically. Ask whether your insurance is accepted, and which evening times are available. The weight loss section is marked under construction, so ask for the current package details by phone at 808-202-2369.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person medication-assisted weight loss with a physician and a team, you can pay cash or use financing, and you either have your own medication or are ready to discuss one. If you need hormone therapy from this office, or you need a full price for a plan that includes the medication, call first.
