A Personalized Approach to Women’s Weight & Metabolic Health
Weight Changes Have Different Stories
No two women experience weight changes the same way. At Elova Health, we look beyond the number on the scale to better understand the bigger picture.
Here are some of the common concerns we help women navigate:
Menopause Weight Gain
Your body has changed. Your approach can too.
We take a broader look at the health factors that may influence weight and overall wellness during menopause.
Postpartum Weight Retention
Support for your health after pregnancy.
Pregnancy and postpartum recovery can bring major changes to weight, energy, sleep, and overall well-being.
Weight Regain After GLP-1
Think beyond short-term weight loss.
If you’ve regained weight after stopping a GLP-1, we can help you take a broader look at your health and build a more personalized path forward.
Don’t see your story here? These are just a few of the common concerns we see. Your health history, symptoms, and goals are unique—and your approach should be too.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does the assessment work?
After purchasing, you'll complete a health questionnaire and visit a local Quest Diagnostics for lab work. Once results are in, you'll meet with your NP for a 60-minute consultation to review everything and receive your personalized plan.
Why is this different from my annual physical?
Routine physicals typically check 15–20 standard markers for disease screening. Our assessment evaluates 110+ biomarkers across hormones, metabolism, thyroid, inflammation, and nutrient status, with a full clinical consultation focused on root causes.
Do you accept insurance?
No. Elova Health is a cash-pay practice, which allows us to spend more time with each patient and recommend care based on your individual needs rather than insurance limitations.
Is the Wellness Access Plan required?
No. The plan is optional but required for ongoing peptide therapy access and member pricing. Your assessment is a one-time purchase that includes everything you need to get started.
Will I need additional testing beyond the 110+ biomarker panel?
For most patients, the 110+ biomarker panel provides a comprehensive starting picture. In some cases, your Nurse Practitioner may recommend additional advanced functional lab testing if it’s clinically indicated to fully understand what’s driving your symptoms.
How long does the process take?
Most patients complete lab work within a week of purchase. Results are typically available in 5–10 business days, and your NP consultation is scheduled as soon as results are ready.
