A Physician-Directed, Data-Driven Patient Experience
At WellnessMD, we move beyond generic health protocols to provide a concierge-style medical experience focused on precision longevity. Led by Stella Chou, MD, PhD, our new patient process is built on structured clinical assessment and targeted laboratory analysis to ensure your care is safe, individualized, and effective.
The WellnessMD Difference
Your initial experience at our Sandy, Utah clinic is designed to understand the full physiological picture—not just isolated symptoms. By combining Dr. Chou’s 30+ years of medical and surgical expertise with advanced endocrine insights, we move toward optimized function rather than just “normal” lab ranges.
Preparing for Your First Consultation
To provide the most precise evaluation, please prepare the following for your initial visit:
- Current Medications & Supplements: A complete list of what you are currently taking.
- Prior Laboratory Testing: Any blood work or diagnostic results from the last 12 months.
- Medical History: Documentation of past surgeries, chronic conditions, and family health history.
- Personal Goals: A clear outline of your specific symptoms (fatigue, weight shifts, brain fog) and longevity objectives.
Phase 1: The Initial Consultation
Your first appointment is an unrushed, comprehensive medical discussion that includes:
- In-Depth Symptom Review: Evaluating the root causes of your health concerns.
- Risk Factor Assessment: Reviewing cardiovascular and metabolic markers to ensure safety.
- Targeted Lab Determination: Identifying the exact biomarkers needed to inform your clinical strategy.
- Preliminary Strategy Planning: A high-level overview of the potential paths toward optimization.
Phase 2: The Structured Treatment Plan
Following a detailed review of your laboratory data, Dr. Chou designs a personalized strategy which may include:
- Hormone Optimization: Evidence-based replacement therapy when clinically appropriate.
- Peptide Therapy: Targeted signaling molecules for recovery and cellular health.
- Metabolic Medications: Precision tools for medical weight optimization and glucose health.
- Lifestyle & Supplementation: Structured modifications to support long-term healthspan.
Investment & Insurance Policy
WellnessMD is a self-pay clinic and does not participate with any insurance providers. This model allows Dr. Chou to provide highly personalized, physician-directed care without the restrictions often imposed by insurance carriers.
- HSA/FSA Accepted: We accept Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts for eligible services.
- Transparent Pricing: We provide clear cost structures for consultations, laboratory testing, and ongoing monitoring.
Ongoing Optimization
Longevity is a continuous process. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to ensure safe titration and ongoing optimization of your therapy. We utilize regular laboratory reassessment and dose refinement to ensure your plan evolves with your body’s needs.
