## What is Innovative Vitality? Innovative Vitality is a longevity-medicine practice in Chicago that combines hormone health, peptide therapy, and GLP-1 weight management with lab-based diagnostics — whole-body MRI, the Galleri multi-cancer blood test, genetic testing, and InBody body-composition scans. Five providers are named on the practice's about page: Rahul Khare, MD; Renata Gazzi, MD, DABOM, MSCP; Monica Medrano, MD; Max Arons, DO; and Meredith Villarreal, NP.
## What does it cost? The practice runs on a hybrid model: it bills insurance for appointments and lab tests, and separately charges a $250-a-month care fee. Patients enrolling in the GLP-1 weight-management program also pay a one-time initiation fee, though the site never states the dollar amount — that's something to ask about when you sign up. The $250 monthly figure covers ongoing care, not a stand-alone consultation fee, which also isn't published separately.
## What medications does it use? For weight loss, the practice prescribes GLP-1 medications by brand name — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. Its peptide menu is broader and includes NAD+, sermorelin, tesamorelin, CJC-1295/ipamorelin, epithalon, and Mots-C, plus two named compounding blends: "GLOW" (BPC-157, TB500, and GHK-Cu) and "KLOW" (the same three plus KPV). Several of these peptides, including BPC-157 and epithalon, are investigational compounds not FDA-approved for these uses, and the practice's peptide-therapy page doesn't carry a disclaimer to that effect.
## Is telehealth available? The practice says about 90% of appointments can be done virtually, which suggests a telehealth-forward model, but it doesn't publish which states it's licensed to serve remotely — worth confirming if you're outside Illinois.
## Who is it for? The combination of longevity diagnostics, hormone health, and GLP-1 weight management suggests this practice is built for patients who want ongoing, insurance-plus-membership medical management rather than a single stand-alone service.
## Where is it, and what are the hours? Innovative Vitality is at 742 W Diversey Parkway, Chicago, IL 60614. It's open Monday and Wednesday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. — the site publishes no weekend hours at all, not even a "closed" listing. It doesn't state a specific service area beyond its address, or how many years the practice has been operating.
