Most "wellness packages" are a blood draw and a follow-up call. The Apex Protocol at Better Med Spa is something different. It pairs the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test with a comprehensive diagnostic blood panel, two provider consultations, and a year of hands-on treatment you actually choose. The price is $5,000 flat. Depending on which treatment track you select, that represents up to 46.6% in savings over booking each service individually. Members save even more. This is not a screening you do once and forget about. It is a year-long clinical program designed to give you a complete picture of your health, then act on what the data reveals.
Undetected cancer risk, hidden metabolic dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and the blind spots your annual physical never catches. The Galleri test screens for 50+ cancer types with no standard screening. The Total Wellness Intelligence panel maps everything from organ function to inflammation. This is a full diagnostic picture, not a basic blood draw.
Start with an intake visit with Galleri early cancer detection, Total Wellness Intelligence Panel, and full health history review. After receiving results, your provider walks through every result and builds your full-year treatment plan. You choose a track: a year of advanced peptide protocols, advanced facials with VISIA analysis, or 12 months of tirzepatide with complete food sensitivity testing.
Most executive health programs hand you a PDF and a referral list. We hand you a year-long treatment plan built on your actual lab data, managed by a provider from intake to follow-up as well as ongoing insights into your health. No disconnected specialists. Proprietary diagnostic precision and hands-on treatment under one roof in Lincoln Park.

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."
"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"My esthetician was incredibly nice and took the time to explain the entire process to me, which really put me at ease. I appreciated how she tailored the treatment to my skin's needs, ensuring I received the best possible results. After the session, she provided me with thorough aftercare instructions, which I found very helpful."

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

"Went in for microneedling and EZ Gel. I felt confident and comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend!"

"The results are truly unbelievable and I’m left speechless each time I leave. I would highly recommend buying a membership it helps you pour into yourself monthly and the results and satisfaction won’t disappoint!"

Regardless of which treatment track you choose, the diagnostic foundation is the same. Every Apex Protocol starts with:
Galleri Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test. A simple blood draw that screens for a shared signal across more than 50 types of cancer. Many of these cancers have no routine screening test. The Galleri test detects cell-free DNA shed by tumors into the bloodstream, catching signals that standard screenings miss entirely. This is the same test used by leading executive health programs nationwide.
Total Wellness Intelligence Blood Panel. A full-spectrum diagnostic panel covering metabolic health, organ function, hormones, inflammation markers, nutrient levels, thyroid function, lipids, and more. This goes well beyond what your primary care provider typically orders during an annual physical. You get a complete baseline of where your body stands today.
Two Provider Consultations. Your first consultation is a full review of your Galleri results, blood panel findings, and health history. Your provider walks you through every marker, what it means, and what to do about it. Your follow-up consultations track how your biomarkers have likely responded to treatment, or with an added blood test, you can see the true data, updated PhenoAge, and overall improvements to health. These are real clinical conversations, not 10-minute check-ins.
The standalone value of this diagnostic foundation is $1,980. It is included in every Apex Protocol.
After your diagnostics, you choose one of three treatment tracks based on your goals. Each track runs alongside your year-long program and is designed to complement what your bloodwork reveals.
Four 90-day peptide protocols of your choice. Build a stack around recovery, cognitive performance, sleep, metabolic function, or gut repair. Options include BPC-157, TB-500 (the Wolverine Stack), SS-31 for mitochondrial support, DSIP for deep sleep optimization, Semax and Selank for focus and stress resilience, and more from our full peptide therapy menu.
Your provider helps you select protocols based on your blood panel results, health goals, and lifestyle. This is not a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Up to $5,200 in added value. Total standalone value: $7,180.
Ten Dual Wave Facial sessions with a VISIA complexion analysis, red light therapy, and Gua Sha lymphatic drainage included with each visit. The VISIA scan provides clinical-grade imaging of sun damage, pore size, wrinkles, texture, and bacterial presence beneath the skin's surface, giving you and your esthetician objective data to guide each treatment.
Spread across your year-long program, these sessions create a consistent treatment cadence that compounds visible results over time.
$5,350 in added value. Total standalone value: $7,330.
Twelve months of Tirzepatide (standard or microdose protocol) paired with a comprehensive food sensitivity test. Tirzepatide is a GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist that supports significant, sustained weight management when combined with lifestyle modifications. Your food sensitivity panel identifies specific inflammatory triggers so you can adjust your nutrition with precision, not guesswork.
Your provider calibrates dosing based on your bloodwork, metabolic markers, and response over the full 12-month course.
Up to $5,180 in added value. Total standalone value: $7,160.
Ready to build your Apex Protocol?
Book a consultation at Better Med Spa in Lincoln Park to discuss which treatment track fits your goals. Your provider will walk you through the diagnostics, timeline, and what to expect.
This program works best for people who want more from their healthcare than reactive visits when something feels wrong. If you have the resources to invest in proactive screening, want clinical data guiding your decisions, and prefer a single program over piecing together services from five different providers, this is designed for you.
Apex Protocol clients in Lincoln Park and across Chicago's North Side typically fall into a few profiles:
If you are looking for a single treatment or a quick screening with no follow-up, this program is more than you need. Better Med Spa offers all diagnostic panels, peptide protocols, facials, and weight management services individually. The Apex Protocol is specifically for clients who want the full picture and a sustained treatment plan around it.
Week 1: Intake and Diagnostics. You come in for your initial consultation, Galleri blood draw, Total Wellness Intelligence panel, and body composition baseline. One appointment, roughly 60 minutes. Your provider reviews your health history and discusses preliminary goals for your treatment track.
Weeks 2-3: Results and Treatment Plan. Once your lab results are in (Galleri results typically take about two weeks), you meet with your provider for a full review. Every marker is explained in plain language. Your treatment track is calibrated to what the data actually shows.
Weeks 3-12: Active Treatment. Your selected track begins. Peptide protocols are prescribed and monitored. Facial sessions are scheduled at regular intervals. Tirzepatide dosing is initiated and adjusted. Throughout this phase, your provider is available for questions and adjustments.
Week 12-13: Follow-Up and Progress Review. A second round of targeted bloodwork measures how your biomarkers have responded. Your provider reviews the changes, discusses what is working, and recommends next steps, whether that is continuing your current protocol, adjusting, or transitioning to a maintenance plan.
All diagnostics, consultations, and a full treatment track bundled at up to 46.6% savings. One intake process. One coordinated care team. Year-long structured program with built-in follow-up. Members save even more on the package price.
Standalone pricing for the same services ranges from $7,160 to $7,330 depending on the treatment track. No bundled discount. Separate booking for each service. No built-in follow-up structure.
Hospital-based executive health screenings in Chicago typically run $3,000-$5,000 for diagnostics alone, with no treatment component. Most do not include the Galleri test, peptide therapy, aesthetic services, or GLP-1 prescribing. You receive a report and a referral list.
The Apex Protocol is not just a screening. It is screening plus a year of treatment built around what the screening reveals.
Better Med Spa operates at the intersection of clinical wellness and aesthetic medicine. The provider team includes licensed nurse practitioners with training across peptide therapy, weight management, and advanced diagnostics. Galleri draws and blood panels are processed through certified laboratory partners with clinical-grade accuracy.
Located at 2117 N Halsted Street in Lincoln Park, the clinic serves clients from across Chicago's North Side, including Lakeview, Old Town, Gold Coast, Bucktown, and Wicker Park. The space is designed for clinical comfort, not the sterile feel of a hospital lab or the chaos of a high-volume wellness franchise.
Every Apex Protocol client works with the same provider from intake through their year-long program. Continuity matters when clinical decisions depend on how your body responds over time.
