About The Shala

What is The Shala?

The Shala is a wellness and longevity clinic in Huntington, West Virginia. Much of its menu is spa-style: infrared sauna, NIR red light therapy, cold plunge, massage and facials, with functional lab testing and nutrition alongside. It also offers peptide, hormone and GLP-1 care, IV drips and injections. It has a 4.9 rating on Google from 73 reviews. The phone number is 681-378-3370.

Peptides are sourced from a licensed compounding pharmacy and prescribed by one of its licensed providers after a clinical consultation. It does not sell peptides online or ship them to people it has not seen. In its own words: "Every peptide protocol at The Shala starts with a real conversation with a real provider who is looking at your full picture." Its prescribers are Amber Satterfield, NP, Ashly Yount and Dr. Scott Keffer. Amber Satterfield, NP, is named on its 3-Month Care Plan, and Dr. Scott Keffer is its Medical Director.

It names GLP-1 and hormone care but gives no GLP-1 medication and no hormone therapy details. Its longevity offering includes the Niagen IV Drip, which uses a patented form of nicotinamide riboside, a precursor the body uses to make NAD+. Its IVs are custom ordered for each patient and are not walk-ins, so patients call ahead. High dose vitamin C needs a prescription and a consultation with Dr. Scott Keffer.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for peptide, hormone or GLP-1 care. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it does not state a consultation fee or an insurance policy.

The published prices are the Niagen IV Drip at $1200, and NAD+ added to an IV bag at $200 for 250mg, $460 for 500mg and $700 for 750mg, prepaid and preordered. Its wellness packages need no membership: a 4 Pack at $96, an 8 Pack at $176, the Healthy Day Pass at $130 and The Glow Pass at $140. Memberships run a minimum of three months and renew automatically on the card. They must be cancelled at least four days before the renewal date. Prices are plus tax, and charged membership fees are not refundable.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for peptides, hormone care and GLP-1 medication, and which medication you would start on. Ask whether any GLP-1 or hormone medication is brand-name or compounded, and whether the compounded peptide medication is included in any price. Ask what the consultation costs and whether the first visit is with a prescriber.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, including the functional lab testing. Ask whether telehealth is available and what the hours are, since neither is listed. Ask whether a higher NAD+ dose needs a prescription, who writes it, and whether a prepaid IV add-on can be refunded if you cancel. Ask how to cancel a membership before the renewal date.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a spa-style wellness clinic with IV and injection options under one roof in Huntington, and you are ready to ask about prescribers, medication cost and the consultation before you book. It is less suited to someone who needs a published price for peptide, hormone or GLP-1 care before calling.
