About EPIC Healthcare and Wellness Solutions
EPIC Healthcare and Wellness Solutions stands as St. Louis's premier destination for comprehensive weight management and wellness services. Our multidisciplinary approach combines medical expertise with advanced laboratory testing to create personalized weight loss programs that address the root causes of weight gain.
Founded on the principle that sustainable weight loss requires more than just diet and exercise, we integrate urgent care services with specialized weight management protocols. Our team understands that each patient's journey is unique, which is why we offer comprehensive diagnostic testing to identify hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolic issues that may be hindering your progress.
Services Offered
Our weight loss programs are built around evidence-based medical interventions and personalized care plans. We offer comprehensive metabolic testing through our on-site laboratory, allowing us to identify thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances that commonly contribute to weight gain. Our medical weight loss programs include prescription medications when appropriate, nutritional counseling, and ongoing monitoring of your progress through regular lab work. Additionally, we provide urgent care services for any health concerns that may arise during your weight loss journey. Our laboratory testing services extend beyond basic panels to include specialized hormone testing, food sensitivity analysis, and comprehensive metabolic panels. We also offer body composition analysis to track changes in muscle mass and body fat percentage rather than focusing solely on the scale. Our medical team works closely with each patient to adjust treatment plans based on lab results and individual response to therapy.

We analyze over 50 different biomarkers to create a complete picture of your metabolic health. Based on these results, our medical team develops a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription weight loss medications, hormone therapy, and targeted nutritional interventions. Throughout your program, we conduct regular follow-up appointments and lab work to monitor progress and adjust treatments. Our integrated approach means that if you experience any health concerns during your weight loss journey, our urgent care services are readily available. We typically see patients monthly initially, then adjust the frequency based on individual needs and progress.

We offer flexible payment options and can work with patients to create affordable payment plans. Our comprehensive initial consultation, including extensive lab work, provides exceptional value compared to seeking these services at multiple locations.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, we recommend fasting for 12 hours to ensure accurate lab results. Bring a list of current medications, supplements, and any previous lab work from other providers. We encourage patients to keep a food diary for the week prior to their visit to help us understand current eating patterns. During your initial consultation, be prepared to discuss your medical history, previous weight loss attempts, and specific health goals. Our team will explain all test results in detail and ensure you understand your personalized treatment plan. We provide ongoing support through our patient portal where you can access lab results, message our team, and track your progress.
