About The Wellness Firm

What is The Wellness Firm?

The Wellness Firm is a practice at 6031 California Ave. SW Unit A in Seattle, WA 98136. It is mainly a podiatry and naturopathic medicine office. Dr. Alexis McKeown, DPM, ND, is the one person named as prescriber, and she has over two decades of experience. The practice lists six services: podiatry, naturopathic and integrative medicine, weight loss, laser nail therapy, aesthetics, and Keryflex nail restoration. Weight loss is one of those six, not the main focus. In its own words: "At The Wellness Firm, we offer a range of services, including nutrition counseling, genetic screening and consultation, herbal medicine, IV therapy, weight loss and lifestyle modification, all aimed at supporting the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive."

The weight loss program uses two medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide. The practice says Dr. McKeown builds a personalized weight loss plan for each patient. It does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy. It names West Seattle and the surrounding communities among the areas it serves. It has a Google rating of 5 from 65 reviews.

What does it cost?

The only prices it publishes are for the weight loss program. The 8 week program starts at $599 a month, and the 12 week program starts at $499 a month. It does not say whether medication is included, so do not assume either figure is your full monthly cost. It does not publish prices for its other services, a consultation fee, or follow-up visits. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not mention HSA or financing options. Its commitment and cancellation terms for the weight loss program are not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. Ask whether Dr. McKeown reviews your history herself and writes the prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide, and who covers when she is unavailable. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and what you will pay each month in total. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and which pharmacy supplies it.

Ask whether the 8 week and 12 week programs are fixed commitments, how you cancel, and whether you can stop early. Ask what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether those are billed on top of the program fee. Ask whether the clinic takes your insurance, whether any visits can be done by video, and what its hours are, since none are listed. If you are looking for hormone or peptide therapy, ask directly whether it is offered.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a doctor who treats feet and practices naturopathic medicine, and you are considering a medication-based weight loss program in West Seattle. Ask for prices, cancellation terms and hours in writing before you commit, since none of those are published.
