About Adaptation Wellness

What is Adaptation Wellness?

Adaptation Wellness is a practice with offices in Pleasant Grove and Salt Lake City, Utah. Jen Makuakane, a Physician Associate, is the only prescriber the clinic names. Her introduction says she specializes in weight loss, hormones and peptides, and that she treats both men and women. In her own words: "I am passionate about helping women in all stages of menopause."

The clinic lists four services: hormone replacement, IV therapy, an erectile dysfunction service, and wellness coaching. Its medication list is longer, with semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine, testosterone, LIPO-B12, NAD+ and sermorelin. Most of its writing centers on weight management, hormones and peptides. It describes its weight management programs as customized but does not explain what they involve. Its hormone pages describe treatment for women with menopause symptoms and for men with symptoms of low testosterone, and they say a consultation and lab testing come before any testosterone treatment. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a rating of 5 from 2 reviews.

This listing is for its Salt Lake City office at 1518 S 1100 E, Suite A.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. That covers consultations, weight management, hormone treatment, IV therapy and the medications. It also does not say whether a monthly fee would include the medication, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers HSA payment, financing or membership terms. Ask for a written price list and a full cost estimate before you book. Ask what the first consultation costs, too, since the clinic asks people to schedule one before any treatment begins.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription and who covers your care when Jen is unavailable. The clinic names only Jen as a prescriber, so ask whether she sees every patient and whether anyone else manages your treatment. Next, ask whether the weight-loss medications and sermorelin are brand-name or compounded, and where they are filled. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and what each refill and dose change costs.

Then ask about the other costs. The testosterone page says lab testing and ongoing monitoring are part of treatment, so ask what labs and follow-up visits cost and how often they happen. Ask whether visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say, and what the office hours are, since none are listed. Finally, ask how to cancel, how much notice it requires, and whether you are charged for a month you do not use.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight management, hormone or peptide care from a Physician Associate, and you are willing to get the medication, lab and cancellation costs in writing before you pay. It is a weaker match if you need published prices, insurance billing or posted office hours before you call.
