About Balanced Wellness

What is Balanced Wellness?

Balanced Wellness is a functional medicine practice at 1029 Oakland Avenue in Rock Hill, SC 29732. Tammy Ryan, FNP-C, MSN, is the prescriber. She is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who focuses on functional medicine and hormone health. Weight loss is one of four services: Functional Medicine & Hormone Health, Hormone Therapy & Optimization, Medical Weight Loss, and Gut Health.

Most of the care is virtual. In its own words: "Balanced Wellness brings personalized functional medicine directly to you through convenient virtual appointments throughout North Carolina and South Carolina." The medical weight loss program combines hormone testing and nutrition planning with prescription medication. The medication named is GLP-1s. Peptides also appear, described as used "when clinically indicated." It has a Google rating of 5 from 65 reviews, listed under weight loss services.

What does it cost?

It publishes one price: $189 for The Hormone Check-In, which includes a hormone lab panel and a one-on-one virtual review with Tammy Ryan, FNP-C. A $450 value is shown beside it. The check-in is a starting point for understanding your results and deciding what comes next. It is not a treatment plan, so the cost of medication, if you go on it, is not shown.

It does not publish prices for weight loss or hormone therapy. It states no separate consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any program price, and it says nothing about insurance. It lists payment plans but does not say what they cost or how they work. Ask for every figure in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the GLP-1 prescription, and whether Tammy Ryan prescribes it personally. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, or whether the drug is billed on top of it. Ask whether the GLP-1 is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it.

Ask whether peptides are offered as a separate treatment, since they are mentioned without a price. Ask what follow-up visits and repeat lab work cost after the first month, and whether each one is extra. Ask whether the $189 is credited toward a program if you enroll. Ask how cancellation works, how much notice you must give, and whether any fee applies. Ask whether the clinic bills insurance at all, and whether any visit must happen in person in Rock Hill.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in North or South Carolina, are comfortable with video visits, and plan to pay cash for lab review and for care your insurance will not cover. If you need in-person visits, or you want a written price for medication before you enroll, get those answers from the clinic first.
