How it works

Two ways to become a patient. One standard of care.

Venture Wellness offers two kinds of care, and they start differently. Hormone, weight, and longevity programs begin with an evaluation. Direct Primary Care begins with a membership. Pick your door below and you’ll know exactly what happens next.

Path one

Hormone, weight, and longevity programs

For hormone therapy, TRT, medical weight loss, peptides, gut health, and performance care. These programs start with a Performance & Longevity Evaluation, because every plan we write is built on your labs and your history.

Step 1

Book your evaluation

$155, in person or by video for Virginia residents. A $50 non-refundable deposit holds your appointment and sends your lab order. Recent labs from elsewhere count; we order only what’s missing.

Step 2

Labs first

A fasting draw at our office, at least 7 business days before your visit so results are back. What the panel covers and self-pay vs. insurance ($195 self-pay).

Step 3

Your evaluation and plan

Plan for 60 to 75 minutes in the office, or about 60 by video. History, symptoms, every result explained, and a plan recommendation. If you continue, you enroll in your program knowing what it includes and what it costs.

Hormone patients: this is your evaluation too. It covers sex hormones, thyroid, adrenal, metabolic, and nutrient markers together.

After the evaluation

The Venture Wellness Care Framework

No matter how you begin, every program moves through the same four stages, so you always know where you are and what comes next.

Stabilize

Comprehensive labs, intake, and symptom mapping.

Optimize

Personalized protocols guided by your data.

Maintain

Quarterly monitoring to protect your progress.

Evolve

Long-term strategy that adapts as your body changes.

Ongoing care runs quarterly or as packages, depending on your plan. Ongoing hormone care starts as low as $160 a month. Follow-ups can be done by video once you’re established.

Path two

Direct Primary Care membership

For everyday primary care: preventive visits, sick visits, and management of common chronic conditions, with Danielle Braithwaite, MSN, FNP-C. No evaluation visit is needed to join.

Step 1

Enroll, or talk first

Enroll online in a few minutes, or book a free Meet & Greet if you’d like to ask questions before you decide. Adults from $99 a month; children 2 and up join with a parent.

Step 2

We schedule your first visit

Once you’re enrolled, we book your first appointment and get your history on file. Your membership is not insurance; keep your plan for emergencies, hospital care, and specialists.

Step 3

Use your membership

Longer visits, priority sick visits, direct messaging with your care team, and no per-visit copays for included visits. Members can add hormone or weight-loss care later through the evaluation above.

Common questions

I’m not sure which path I need.

If the question is about a symptom or a goal (energy, weight, hormones, performance), start with the evaluation. If you want a primary care provider for the everyday things, start with Direct Primary Care. Find My Care Path asks three questions and points you to the right place, or call or text (804) 601-8625.

Can I do both?

Yes. Many patients have a Direct Primary Care membership and a hormone or weight-loss program. Each starts the way described above, and current patients follow the same steps.

Do you take insurance?

Visits are direct-pay; card, HSA, and FSA are accepted. Insurance can be used for labs and for medications at your pharmacy. Insurance and payment, explained.

I’m already on hormone therapy somewhere else.

Switching is routine. Bring your recent labs and your current prescription; you still start with an evaluation, because every provider manages hormone therapy differently. How switching works.
