About A Healthy-Eir Life

What is A Healthy-Eir Life?

A Healthy-Eir Life is a telemedicine clinic based in Brighton, Michigan, at 324 W Main St, offering care to patients in Michigan, Indiana, Florida, and Ohio. It was founded by Melissa Welch, APRN, and Tressa Gardner, DO, who prescribe for the practice. The clinic's main services are hormone optimization and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men and women, and medical weight loss using semaglutide and tirzepatide. Peptide therapy is listed on the site but marked as pending, meaning it is not yet an active offering.

In its own words: "Healthy-Eir was founded by Melissa Welch, NP, and Dr. Tressa Gardner, DO, to provide thoughtful, individualized care that goes beyond rushed appointments and one-size-fits-all treatment." The practice runs entirely by telehealth, with lab work ordered as part of the intake process and medication shipped to the patient's home. It is a cash-pay practice and does not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Google lists a rating of 5 from 10 reviews.

What does it cost?

Pricing is laid out in detail but is not entirely consistent across pages. The home page lists the initial consultation at $250, while another page on the same site says the initial consultation is free, which is worth clarifying directly before booking. HSA and FSA payments are accepted.

For weight loss, medication is priced by weekly dose for a four week supply: GLP-1 options run from $150 at 0.25mg a week up to $230 at 2 to 2.5mg a week, and GLP-1/GIP options run from $185 at 2.5mg a week up to $345 at 15mg a week. These prices include the compounded medication and injection supplies but not shipping, which adds $25 to $35 per order.

For hormone care, there are two published fee structures. One lists monthly memberships of $129 (Core), $179 (Optimize), and $299 (Concierge), with medication, labs, and supplements billed separately. Another page lists a Men's TRT injectable program and a Women's BHRT program each at $115 a month, with that fee said to include medication and supplies; the women's program adds $35 a month for each additional hormone. Lab work is billed separately in both cases.

Membership cancellation requires 48 hours' notice, and a $350 restart fee applies if you rejoin later. Canceling an appointment with less than 24 hours' notice carries a $50 fee, and extra visits beyond the included monthly follow-up are $75.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which hormone pricing structure applies to you, the $115 a month TRT or BHRT program or the Core, Optimize, or Concierge membership, and what each one includes. Ask directly whether the initial consultation is $250 or free, since the site states both. Ask whether Tressa Gardner or Melissa Welch will be the one reviewing your case and signing your prescription, and whether your medication is compounded or brand name. Find out roughly what lab testing will cost on top of the membership fee, and whether peptide therapy is actually available yet, since it is listed as pending. It is also worth asking whether an in-person visit will ever be required, since the site notes that telehealth rules could change.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Michigan, Indiana, Florida, or Ohio, prefer telehealth for hormone or GLP-1 based weight loss care, and are comfortable with a cash-pay model where labs and medication are billed apart from the monthly fee.
