About GlowOn

What is GlowOn?

GlowOn is a functional medicine and direct primary care practice at 18 Main Street, Unit 2B1, in Concord, Massachusetts. Its prescriber is Allyson Page, DNP, FNP-BC, MSN, RN, a nurse practitioner who has been in practice for almost 20 years. Her work combines functional medicine with traditional family medicine, and she is the only prescriber named.

Hormone therapy is one of the main services. The clinic describes bioidentical hormones for women, testosterone therapy for men, and cream-based treatment. It also names seven peptides: SERMORELIN, CJC-1295, GHK-CU, PT-141, SELANK, THYMOSIN ALPHA 1 and BPC-157. Weight loss appears among her treatment approaches, but no GLP-1 weight loss medication is named. Other services include gut health, nutritional guidance, medical aesthetics, Ayurvedic consulting and stress management. Google shows a 5 rating from 41 reviews.

What does it cost?

GlowOn does not publish prices. The first consultation is listed as free. Its monthly membership fee is not published either. A membership includes one 45-minute appointment a month, in person or by video, unlimited text and email between visits, nutritional and hormonal guidance, and discounts on self-pay lab testing. New memberships run on a 10 month contract, and the cancellation terms are not stated. The clinic does not say whether any medication is included.

GlowOn does not use traditional insurance. In its own words: "At GlowOn, we do not utilize traditional insurance, but you are able to utilize your insurance to cover costs of labs, imaging and specialist visits." It does not say whether insurance is accepted for visits.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the monthly fee covers and whether it includes any medication, including the peptides and hormone creams. Ask whether each medicine is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask how many visits you get each month, because one listing says two personalized appointments and another says one 45-minute appointment. Ask what follow-up visits, labs and imaging cost, and which of those your insurer will cover.

Ask how cancellation works during the 10 month contract and whether unused months are refunded. Ask who signs each prescription. Ask for office hours, since none are listed. Virtual visits are offered within 24 hours any day of the week, but another listing says in-person visits are within 24 hours on weekdays, so ask which applies. If you live outside Massachusetts, ask whether telehealth is available where you are. If you want a weight loss medication, ask which one is offered and what it costs.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an ongoing relationship with one nurse practitioner, you are ready to pay cash for visits and any medication, and you can commit to a 10 month contract. It is a weaker fit if you need the monthly price, office hours and medication costs in writing before you call.
