About The Wellness Loft

What is The Wellness Loft?

The Wellness Loft is a functional primary care practice at 717 Folly Rd Suite 204 in Charleston, SC 29412. The phone number is (843) 608-0158. Dr. Kimbi Marenakos, DNP, FNP-C is the prescriber listed for the practice. Visits are by appointment only, and care is offered both virtually and in person.

Primary care comes first, with functional medicine as the approach. The practice says its primary care provider also serves as the functional medicine practitioner, hormone specialist, and gut health advocate for each patient. Medical weight loss is one of several services. The others include hormone balancing, men's health and TRT, peptide therapy, gut and digestive health, behavioral health, fertility, acupuncture, and skincare and wellness treatments such as IV therapy and the VEMI Bed. The weight loss section describes a medication-assisted approach but does not name the medications it uses.

The Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 58 reviews, in the Medical clinic category.

This listing is for its Charleston office at 717 Folly Rd Ste 204.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone, or peptide care, and it does not state a consultation fee. In its own words: "The Wellness Loft is a self-pay practice." It does not name any insurance plan it accepts. It lists memberships, but the terms and cancellation rules are not described. It also does not say whether medication is included in any fee.

Plan on a phone call before booking to get the actual numbers.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription and who handles your follow-up care. Dr. Marenakos is the prescriber listed, so ask whether she is the clinician you will see over time, or whether another team member handles routine visits.

Ask whether the monthly fee for weight loss or hormone care includes the medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Neither detail is published.

Ask what lab work costs, how often it is repeated, and whether it is billed separately. The hormone section mentions diagnostic labs, so this cost matters.

Ask what a follow-up visit costs, and whether a virtual visit is priced differently from one in person.

Ask what the office hours are, since none are listed. Then ask how to cancel a membership or program, and whether any part of a payment is refunded.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a self-pay practice that positions itself as your long-term primary care provider, and you are willing to get prices by phone before you commit. If you need the full cost in writing before the first visit, call first and hold off on booking until you have it.
