Dr. Kissel analyzes all results to identify hormonal imbalances or metabolic issues contributing to weight gain.

Why Choose Restorative Wellness MD - Dr. Julia Kissel M. D.
Dr. Kissel's dual specialization in endocrinology and alternative medicine provides a comprehensive approach you won't find elsewhere in the Cincinnati area. We take time to investigate underlying causes of weight gain that other providers might miss. Our patients appreciate the thorough testing and personalized treatment plans based on their unique biochemical profiles. Unlike one-size-fits-all programs, we create individualized solutions addressing each patient's specific hormonal and metabolic needs. Dr. Kissel's expertise helps patients who've struggled with unexplained weight gain or haven't succeeded with conventional approaches.
Insurance & Pricing
We're in-network with select insurance plans, though many specialized tests and treatments may not be covered. We provide detailed cost estimates before beginning any treatments not covered by insurance. Our office can help with insurance pre-authorizations for covered services. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds for uncovered treatments. We offer payment plans for comprehensive testing panels and extended treatment programs to make care more accessible.
First-Time Patient Tips
Be prepared to invest time and patience in the diagnostic process, as identifying root causes may take several weeks of testing. Come prepared with a detailed history of previous weight loss attempts, medications, and any symptoms you've experienced. Consider keeping a symptoms diary noting energy levels, sleep patterns, and mood changes. Be open to lifestyle modifications beyond diet and exercise, as hormonal balance requires comprehensive approach. Understand that hormone optimization may take several months to show full effects, but many patients notice improvements in energy and well-being before significant weight loss occurs.
