How It Works

diagnostic labs

Begin with a comprehensive diagnostic lab panel designed to uncover the underlying factors affecting your health. We offer affordable self-pay pricing, and most initial labs can also be billed through insurance.

Your personalized panel may evaluate hormone balance, thyroid function, metabolic health, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, cholesterol, insulin, nutrient status, iron stores, and other key markers based on your individual needs and goals.

Once your labs are ordered, simply visit any Quest Diagnostics location for your blood draw. 

in-depth review

Your health is unique, and your care should be too. During this comprehensive one-on-one consultation, we’ll review your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and diagnostic lab results to identify the underlying factors that may be impacting your health.

Together, we’ll discuss your personalized treatment options and create a plan tailored to your goals. Depending on your individual needs, recommendations may include hormone optimization, medical weight management, nutrition and lifestyle strategies, targeted vitamin and nutrient supplementation, and other evidence-based therapies designed to help you restore energy, optimize your health, and support healthy aging

Follow up

Your health is constantly evolving, and your care should evolve with it. Through ongoing one-on-one follow-up appointments, we’ll monitor your progress, review your symptoms and lab results, make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed, and ensure you’re continuing to move toward your health goals.

Whether you’re optimizing your hormones, improving your metabolism, participating in medical weight management or enhancing your thyroid function, you’ll receive personalized, evidence-based care every step of the way. You’ll never feel rushed through a brief appointment or left to navigate your health alone.

Our commitment is to provide the guidance, education, and support you need to achieve lasting results, optimize your health, and feel your best for years to come.

How We Are Different

Have you ever been told your lab work is “normal,” yet you still feel exhausted, struggle to lose weight, have no libido, can’t sleep, or simply don’t feel like yourself?

At Vital Energy Health & Wellness, we believe you deserve more than being told you’re “fine.” We believe you deserve answers.

Our approach is different because we don’t just manage symptoms—we take the time to understand why you’re experiencing them. Every treatment plan is personalized and designed around your unique goals, symptoms, lifestyle, and laboratory findings. Rather than settling for what’s considered “normal,” we focus on optimizing your health so you can feel your best.

As a concierge practice, you’ll never feel rushed through a 10-minute appointment. You’ll have the time to ask questions, understand your results, and work collaboratively on a plan that supports your long-term health. We combine evidence-based medicine with a comprehensive, whole-body approach to help optimize hormones, metabolism, nutrition, body composition, and overall wellness.

Whether your goal is to regain your energy, improve your mood, restore your libido, lose weight, optimize your hormones, or invest in healthy aging and longevity, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Because feeling your best shouldn’t be the exception—it should be the expectation.

I can’t say enough about how incredible my experience with Vital Energy Medical, LLC has been. Since starting their program and working closely with Rachel, I feel amazing. My energy levels have skyrocketed, allowing me to do things I hadn’t been able to in years. My mood has significantly improved, and I finally feel like myself again. It’s astonishing how many aspects of your life can be affected when your body is out of balance. Thanks to Rachel, I am now living a much happier, healthier life. I highly recommend Vital Energy Medical to anyone seeking a positive change in their health and well-being!

As a 39-year-old man, I realized that I needed to make some significant changes in my lifestyle to become healthier. As I embarked on my fitness journey, I began to pay more attention to my body than ever before. Despite losing weight, I had very little sex drive, lacked motivation and energy, and found it difficult to build muscle. I was unsure of what was wrong, but I knew that something was off. After conducting some research, I came across Rachel at Vital Energy Medical. Rachel has been incredibly thorough with my symptoms, listening to me carefully and analyzing my blood work. Her communication has been excellent, and she has been very supportive throughout the entire process. I was initially nervous about the treatment, but Rachel was there to guide me every step of the way and make me feel comfortable. Thanks to Rachel's treatment plan, my life has changed entirely. I have more energy, strength, and focus than I ever had. As I approach my 40s, I feel better than ever before.
