What is Monarch Functional Medicine?
Monarch Functional Medicine is a functional medicine practice at 545 County Rd HQ in Marquette, Michigan, and it also sees patients virtually across Michigan. Its focus covers hormone, thyroid, gut, metabolic and inflammation concerns. Julie McDonald, PA-C, leads the practice and prescribes, and has over 22 years of experience as a PA.
Its four main service areas are weight loss, including GLP-1 microdosing; hormone care, including menopause, perimenopause, men's hormones and testosterone replacement therapy where clinically appropriate; peptide therapy; and longevity, which appears on its service list with no further detail. It also offers lab testing, genetic testing, an InBody scan, glucose monitoring (CGM), a nutrition plan, health coaching and a supplement protocol. Every patient begins with the 12-Week Reset, its foundational program.
Its listed hours are 08:30 to 16:30 on Monday and Tuesday, 08:30 to 16:00 on Wednesday, 09:00 to 16:30 on Thursday and 08:30 to 15:00 on Friday. Its Google rating is 4.9 from 9 reviews. Remote care works this way. In its own words: "Lab work is coordinated locally and consultations are conducted via telehealth."
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss, GLP-1 microdosing or hormone care. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and no consultation fee is stated. The 12-Week Reset can be paid in three installments, but the amounts are not published. Insurance acceptance is not stated either. Before you commit, it offers a free 15-minute call with Julie McDonald, PA-C. Use that call to get every figure in writing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes any prescription, and whether that is Julie McDonald, PA-C, at every visit, including virtual ones. Ask whether a monthly or program fee covers the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded, since neither is stated. Ask which specific medications and peptides it uses, because it does not publish medication names. Ask what lab work, genetic testing, InBody scans and follow-up visits cost, and whether they are billed on top of any program price. Ask whether it accepts your insurance, and how cancellation and refunds work for the 12-Week Reset or any other plan.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are paying cash for weight, hormone or peptide care in Marquette or elsewhere in Michigan, and you want testing completed before any prescribing decision. It also suits anyone who will ask the questions above and get clear answers before committing to a program.
