About Arcadia Institute

What is Arcadia Institute?

Arcadia Institute is a functional medicine and longevity clinic at 432 Eastwood Rd STE 200, Wilmington, NC 28403. The phone number is (910) 828-7113. The only prescriber the clinic names is Beth Panoff, FNP-C, who describes herself as a nurse practitioner specializing in longevity medicine. Its services are peptide therapy, bioidentical hormone therapy, medical weight optimization, nutrition and supplement therapy, the TruAge Age Predictor (biological age testing), and a consultation visit. The medications it names are MOTS-c, GHRH and GHRP peptides, and semaglutide. Semaglutide appears only in blog posts. The clinic's Google listing shows 5 stars from 15 reviews and is categorized as Health consultant.

Most of the clinic's content is aimed at women in midlife. The consultation is a 60 to 75 minute visit to talk through health history and goals, after which the clinic decides whether its Metabolic & Hormone Optimization program is the right next step. In its own words: "Our individualized weight loss programs are designed to address these underlying factors through a thoughtful, medically guided approach."

What does it cost?

The only published price is $275 for the consultation visit. It does not say whether that fee is credited toward any later program. It does not publish prices for weight management, hormone therapy, peptide therapy, the TruAge Age Predictor, or supplement therapy. It does not say whether any price includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers financing, HSA payment, or membership terms. Ask for every number in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Who writes the prescription? Beth Panoff is the only prescriber named, but the weight loss page describes physician-guided therapy. Ask whether a physician is involved and who signs off on your plan.

Does the program fee include the medication, and is each drug brand-name or compounded? The peptide page says peptides should be sourced from compounding pharmacies, so ask which kind you would receive.

Is semaglutide part of the weight management program? The blog posts mention it, but the weight management page does not list it as a service.

What do lab work, follow-up visits, and the TruAge testing cost, and are any of them covered by the consultation fee? The weight loss and hormone pages both mention advanced lab testing.

How do you cancel a program, and do you offer telehealth? The clinic lists no hours and does not say whether visits can be done remotely.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay consultation with a nurse practitioner about hormones, metabolism, or aging, and you are ready to ask the questions above before committing to any medication. It is a weaker fit if you need the full price of a program in writing before a first visit, because the clinic publishes only the consultation fee.
