About ReNew Weight Loss & Wellness

What is ReNew Weight Loss & Wellness?

ReNew Weight Loss & Wellness is a medical weight loss clinic at 501 E Watauga Ave., Johnson City, Tennessee 37601. The phone number is 423-636-1400. It serves Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol and the wider Tri-Cities area. Melissa Powell, FNP, is the one prescriber the clinic lists.

Its main service is GLP-1 weight loss therapy using semaglutide or tirzepatide. It also offers prescription support with other medications, energy injections, low testosterone treatment (TRT) and a medical weight loss program for men. The GLP-1 medications are compounded, meaning a licensed compounding pharmacy prepares them rather than the original manufacturer. The clinic compares them with the brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound, and it describes compounded versions as non-FDA-approved. In its own words: "Every program at ReNew is supervised by a licensed medical provider."

Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 3pm to 6pm. Monday, Friday and Saturday are by appointment, and Sunday is closed. On Google the clinic has 5 stars from 3 reviews.

What does it cost?

For GLP-1 therapy the clinic publishes starting prices and notes that the price rises as the dose goes up. Semaglutide starts at $40 a week for in-office injections, $145 a month for take-home weekly injections, and $180 for take-home vials with shipping included. Tirzepatide starts at $50 a week in office, $185 a month for take-home weekly injections, and $230 for take-home vials with shipping included.

It does not say whether the medication is included in those prices. It publishes no consultation fee, no price for TRT, the men's program, the prescription support or the energy injections. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, and it does not publish membership or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly take-home price covers the medication or only the program, and what the price becomes at a higher dose. Ask how the compounded product differs from the brand-name pens the clinic names, since the clinic notes that they are dispensed in different forms.

Ask who signs each prescription and whether Melissa Powell, FNP, is the provider you will see at follow-up visits. Ask for the consultation fee, whether insurance is accepted, and whether any part of care can be done by telehealth. Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost, since it may order baseline labs. Ask the price of TRT, the men's program and the energy injections, and how cancellation and refunds work.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want provider-supervised weight loss care in the Tri-Cities, can book an in-person appointment, and are comfortable paying cash for compounded GLP-1 medication at the published starting prices. If you need an insurance answer or a full price list before you book, get those answers first.
