About Asymmetric Health

What is Asymmetric Health?

Asymmetric Health is a membership-based medical practice at 8282 28th Ct NE, Suite C, in Lacey, WA 98516. Its main work is hormone therapy and GLP-1 weight loss. It also offers menopause hormone therapy (BHRT), functional medicine, TBI therapy, erectile dysfunction treatment, hypothyroid treatment, and a pharmacy benefit that the clinic describes as 1,000+ free generic medications delivered to your door with membership.

Dr. Ian Strand, DO, FAAMM, is the physician the clinic names as its prescriber. The clinic describes him as a board-certified emergency physician. The GLP-1 medications it names are semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, and tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro and Zepbound.

The clinic serves Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and all of Thurston County in person, and it offers telehealth statewide. It lists 15+ Years in Medicine and has a 5.0 Google rating from 21 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight loss membership starts at $110 a month. The membership is month-to-month and covers appointments, prescribing, monitoring, and care coordination. The membership terms also say this: In its own words: "Labs and medications billed separately at cost." So the monthly fee is not the whole bill.

Before a membership starts, there is a one-time evaluation. The weight loss evaluation is $199 and includes lab work and a 60 minute provider visit. Hormone evaluations run $299 for focused testing, $699 for complete testing, and $999 for total wellness testing. The TBI evaluation is $1,299. Testosterone and menopause memberships start from $130 a month. Erectile dysfunction and hypothyroid evaluations start at $299, and functional medicine starts at $199.

The clinic does not say whether it takes insurance. It does not publish HSA or financing options, and it does not describe cancellation beyond month-to-month.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes each prescription. The clinic names Dr. Strand, but it does not name a prescriber for Olympia or Tumwater visits.

Ask for the monthly medication cost of the drug you would start on, and whether it is the brand-name product or a compounded version. Medications are billed separately, so that monthly number is the one to compare against the membership fee.

Ask what follow-up lab work costs and how often it is repeated.

Ask whether the clinic bills insurance at all, and whether it accepts HSA cards or payment plans.

Ask for its office hours, which it does not list.

Ask how cancellation works for a month-to-month membership, and whether the one-time evaluation fee is refundable.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are ready to pay out of pocket each month for a membership, plus medication and labs, and you want one named physician as your prescriber. It also suits you if you live in Thurston County or can handle visits by telehealth. If you need insurance billing or one all-in monthly number, ask about both before you book, because neither is stated.
