About Capital Healing Lifestyle Medicine

What is Capital Healing Lifestyle Medicine?

Capital Healing Lifestyle Medicine is a physician-led practice at 1502 W. NC-54 Hwy, Suite 405, Durham, NC 27713. The phone number is (984) 229-9745. Doctor Angela Lipscomb-Hudson, MD, founded the practice and is the physician who prescribes. She is double board-certified in Obesity Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and she has been helping patients since 2007. The practice gives 2025 as its founding year.

The practice offers three services: a Medical Weight Loss Program, Cardiometabolic Health, and Perimenopause & Menopause Care. The cardiometabolic work looks at blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, fatty liver, and weight together. The weight program may include FDA-approved weight loss medication, including GLP-1 medication when clinically indicated, along with nutrition, movement, and sleep guidance. No specific GLP-1 medication is named. In its own words: "Capital Healing does not begin with a preset program or one-size-fits-all plan." Visits happen in Durham, by telehealth, or as mobile in-person visits. Telehealth requires you to be physically located in Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, or Washington, D.C., at the time of the appointment.

This listing is for its Durham office at 1502 W. NC-54 Hwy, Suite 405.

What does it cost?

Self-pay new patient visits and full consultations are $330. Follow-up visits are $200. Ongoing memberships range from $120 to $295 per month, depending on the level of care and how often you visit. Medication and outside laboratory costs are billed separately, so they are not part of the membership fee. The practice does not publish a total price for a full weight loss program.

For insurance, the practice accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, Brighton Health, Aetna/North Carolina State Health Plan, and traditional Medicare for eligible patients in North Carolina. Outside North Carolina, it accepts traditional Medicare (not Medicare Advantage) or self-pay. It notes that coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary, so confirm your benefits before booking. It does not publish membership length, cancellation terms, or HSA and financing options.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the GLP-1 medication would be brand-name or compounded, and which product you would receive. Ask what the medication costs each month on top of the membership. Ask which membership level matches your visit schedule and what it includes, since the monthly range is wide. Ask for an estimate of outside lab costs, and ask whether follow-up visits are part of a membership or billed separately.

Ask how long a membership runs and how to cancel, because the practice does not state these terms. Ask for office hours, which are not listed. Ask how Doctor Hudson coordinates with your primary care provider, because the practice says it works alongside a primary care provider and does not replace one. If you choose telehealth, confirm that you will be in a licensed state when the appointment happens.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want physician-led care that looks at weight alongside blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, or midlife changes, and you are ready to pay self-pay fees or use one of the accepted insurance plans. If you need a posted total price, a fixed medication cost, or written cancellation terms before you commit, call and ask those questions first.
