About RevitaLife

What is RevitaLife?

RevitaLife is a wellness and medical aesthetics practice at 13354 Manchester Road, Suite 100, in Des Peres, MO 63131. The phone number is (314) 451-7022. It is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, and it is closed on weekends.

Its main services are medical weight loss and bioidentical hormone therapy. It also offers aesthetics, PRP therapy, IV therapy, and functional and family medicine. Its hormone pellets are made by a compounding pharmacy and contain bioidentical estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, or anastrozole, or a combination of these. In its own words: "We have specialized in medical weight loss for over 5 years."

Christina Robins, M.D., is the director and founder and is board certified in family medicine. Five other clinicians are listed as prescribers: Carey Weltz, FNP, Karen Dittmer, FNP, Lindsey Howell, FNP, Andrea Martin, PA-C, and Christine Edwards, PA-C. On Google, the clinic has a 4.9 rating from 345 reviews.

What does it cost?

Hormone pellets are the one service with published prices. Women pay approximately $400 every 4 months, and men pay approximately $700 every 6 months. It does not say whether those figures cover the pellets, the insertion, or the follow-up blood work.

The weight loss programs (Detox Jumpstart, Gut Reset, and Hormone Balance) have no published prices. It does not state a consultation fee. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, offers financing or HSA payment, or has membership terms. It does not state a cancellation policy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription. The clinic states "Our board-certified physician is on-site," but six people are listed as prescribers. Ask whether the physician writes the prescription or whether a nurse practitioner or physician assistant does.

Ask whether the pellet price covers the pellets, the insertion, and repeat blood work, and what that blood work costs. Blood work is done regularly after the first insertion, so the cost adds up over time.

Ask whether your medication is brand-name or compounded. The pellets come from a compounding pharmacy, and the Hormone Balance Program lists "Prescription medications / compounds."

Ask what a weight loss program includes and whether prescription medications are part of the monthly cost. Functional laboratory testing is "often included in your package," so ask which tests are billed separately. The Gut Reset stool analysis is listed as "insurance dependent on coverage ability," so ask what that means for your bill.

Ask whether any visits can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned. Ask for the cancellation terms in writing before you pay.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person hormone therapy or medical weight loss in the St. Louis area and are ready to get prices, the prescriber's name, and cancellation terms in writing before you pay. It is a weaker match if you need telehealth or want a full price list before you call.
