About Weigh Better Wellness

What is Weigh Better Wellness?

Weigh Better Wellness is a cash-pay weight management practice at 4600 Kietzke Ln, Bldg C124, Reno, NV 89502. Medical weight management is its main service, with nutrition plans, regular check-ins and lifestyle coaching built around it. The one prescriber named is Marie Elder, FNP-BC, MSN, a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience in healthcare. She began her nursing career in 2008 and has practiced as a nurse practitioner since 2019.

The five listed services are Medical Weight Management, Personalized Nutrition Plans, Ongoing Check-ins, Consultations By Appointment Only, and Lifestyle Modification Support, with night and weekend appointments available. Medications, hormone optimization and peptide therapy appear only as options its providers "may suggest." No specific medication or peptide is named. Google shows a 5 rating from 2 reviews, listed under the category weight loss service.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or a monthly rate. It runs on a self-pay or subscription basis and does not take insurance. In its own words: "Each plan of care is individualized and based on personal goals, history and preferences." It does not say whether the subscription includes medication, and it does not describe membership terms or how to cancel.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who will prescribe for you. Marie Elder is the only person named, but the clinic speaks of its providers as a group, so ask who signs your prescription and who you would see at follow-up. Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication. If it does, ask which medication it is, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and where it is filled.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, how a subscription is cancelled, and whether you are billed after cancelling. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, since it does not say. Scheduling runs through email and no phone number is listed, so ask how to reach the office before you commit.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay practice with a named nurse practitioner, nutrition planning and regular check-ins, and you are ready to get the price, medication and cancellation terms in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or a list of the medications offered before you call.
