About Equalife Health

What is Equalife Health?

Equalife Health is a virtual-first medical practice at 318 S South St. Suite 6B in Gastonia, North Carolina. Medical weight management is its lead service. It also offers virtual primary care, ED treatment and skin care. In-person and telehealth appointments are both available.

Janieta Brown, APRN, DNP, MBA, RN is the one person named as a prescriber. Its providers do not prescribe controlled substances.

The weight program covers low-dose compounded semaglutide, high-dose compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Its weight loss material also names Wegovy and Mounjaro, which are prescribed only if a provider recommends them. In its own words: "Our medical weight management program is led by licensed providers and delivered through secure virtual care." The practice has a 5 rating on Google from 3 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight management consultation is $75. The weight management program is $250 per visit, and that price includes semaglutide at the 0.25 mg or 0.50 mg dose for eligible patients. It does not say whether the $75 consultation counts toward that visit.

Separate weight loss material shows plans starting at $199 a month, with free cancellation anytime, but it does not say what those plans include. It does not publish a price for tirzepatide, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance. NAD+ treatment is listed at 125mg twice a week for $360 for one week, $720 for two weeks, or $1440 for four weeks.

Its pages also promote Beauty Embrace Med Spa, PLLC, a separate med spa with its own membership prices. Those include semaglutide at $399 a month. Confirm which business you would be paying before you join anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $250 is charged for each visit and whether the $75 consultation is part of it. Ask whether the semaglutide is compounded or brand-name, and what makes a patient "eligible" for the medication included in the $250. Ask what tirzepatide and high-dose semaglutide cost, since neither price is published.

Ask who writes and signs the prescription, and whether Janieta Brown reviews your chart herself. Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost, since the weight loss material mentions lab tests and regular check-ins without prices. Ask whether it takes insurance or HSA payments, which states its telehealth visits cover, and how cancellation works. No hours are listed, so call +1-980-888-2596 to confirm them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medication-based weight care delivered virtually first, with a named nurse practitioner, and you are comfortable paying per visit. It is a weaker fit if you need insurance billing, posted hours or a clear monthly price before you book.
