Does any of this sound familiar
You are not imagining it, and you are not lazy
Most people who come to us have already been told their thyroid panel is fine, their weight is a willpower problem, and their fatigue is just age or stress. They have usually been told this more than once. Here is what they actually describe.
Thyroid and energy
- Exhausted after a full night of sleep
- Cold when nobody else is
- Hair thinning, dry skin, brittle nails
- Constipation that never fully resolves
- A TSH inside the range but a body that disagrees
- On thyroid medication and still not right
Hormones and mood
- Perimenopause fatigue that flattens the afternoon
- Night sweats and broken sleep
- Brain fog, losing words mid sentence
- Low libido and low drive
- Anxiety or low mood that feels chemical
- Losing muscle tone despite training
Metabolic health
- Weight that will not move on less food
- Blood sugar creeping up year after year
- Rising triglycerides or blood pressure
- Energy crashes two hours after eating
- Waist expanding while the scale stays flat
- Told you are prediabetic and to come back next year
The pattern matters more than any single symptom. Thyroid function, sex hormones and metabolic health are one connected system. Tested separately and read against population ranges, each one can look acceptable while the system as a whole is clearly struggling. That is the gap this program was built to close.
Why this keeps happening
Nothing was missed. There was never time to look.
The physicians who told you your labs were normal were reading them correctly. A standard panel is designed to catch disease, and you do not have a disease yet. You have a system drifting in the wrong direction, and that drift does not show up until it becomes a diagnosis.
The other constraint is simply time. Insurance based primary care is built around short appointments and large patient panels. That model does good work, and it is the right model for many things. It is not a model that can spend an hour and a half tracing why a 47 year old woman stopped sleeping, gained 18 pounds and lost her drive over three years.
This program is the other approach. Fewer patients, far more testing, and enough time in the room to actually follow the thread.

A different model of care
What changes when the appointment is not fifteen minutes
| A typical insurance based visit | The Optimal Wellness Program | |
|---|---|---|
| Time with the physician | Often 15 to 20 minutes | 90 minutes, three times over six months |
| Who you see | Whoever is available that day | Dr. Mary, every visit |
| Testing | A standard panel, repeated annually | 50+ biomarkers, run three times |
| How results are read | Against population reference ranges | Against your history, symptoms and trend over time |
| Between visits | Call back if it gets worse | Portal access to Dr. Mary and her assistant, five days a week |
| Nutrition support | A handout, or a referral | Eight weeks of one on one coaching, weekly live calls |
| What success means | Numbers back inside the range | You feel like yourself, and the numbers agree |
Who you will actually be working with
Dr. Mignonne C. Mary, M.D.
Dr. Mary is the founder and Medical Director of The Remedy Room. She is a national voice in nutritional and biologic medicine, and she built this program around the conviction that most chronic symptoms have a traceable cause if somebody is willing to spend the time looking for it.
She is the second generation of her family in medicine in Louisiana, following her father, Dr. Charles C. Mary Jr. She continues to attend conferences and collaborate with physicians internationally to keep the protocols current.
What matters most for you is simpler. This is the only program through which Dr. Mary takes patients, and she conducts every one of the three consultations personally. You are not passed to an associate after the first visit.

The six months, month by month
What actually happens, and when
Most programs describe a philosophy. This is the schedule you are buying.
Before you begin
Enrolment and a real history
Once you enrol, our Optimal Wellness Assistant, May Cosio, contacts you personally to coordinate everything. Your comprehensive bloodwork is drawn first, and you complete a medical intake that has been rebuilt with targeted questions designed to uncover when and why your symptoms actually started. Results take roughly seven to ten days, so your first visit is scheduled around them.
Month 1
Your first 90 minutes with Dr. Mary
Dr. Mary reviews your full results with you and builds your personalised plan. You leave with supplements, prescriptions where appropriate, and lifestyle changes you can begin immediately. Your Total Tox test is run in this first month, and your GRAIL, Cyrex Array 12 and MVX testing is arranged.
Months 1 to 3
Coaching, and someone to answer you
Your eight weeks of one on one nutritional and lifestyle coaching begin as early as possible, with weekly one hour live calls plus course materials. Throughout, you have portal access to Dr. Mary and an administrative assistant five days a week, so questions and changes get answered while they are still relevant rather than at your next appointment.
Month 2
Bloodwork again
Comprehensive bloodwork is repeated around the two month mark so that Dr. Mary is reading current data, not a three month old snapshot, at your next visit.
Month 3
Second 90 minute consultation
Dr. Mary compares your new results against your baseline and against how you actually feel. The plan is adjusted. This is usually the visit where the direction of travel becomes obvious to both of you.
Months 4 to 6
Refinement
The protocol is tuned rather than rebuilt. Your coaching must be completed within the six month window. Bloodwork is drawn again ahead of your final visit, and your Total Tox test is repeated so exposure can be compared directly against month one.
Month 6
Third 90 minute consultation, and what comes next
A full review against six months of data. You finish with a maintenance plan you understand well enough to run yourself. From here you can continue with your primary care physician, or move onto Dr. Mary’s annual membership.
Included in the program
Everything in the six months
Three 90 minute consultations
With Dr. Mignonne C. Mary, M.D., personally, at month one, month three and month six.

Advanced testing included
Four tests most practices do not run
Alongside the 50+ biomarker panel covering inflammation, cardiovascular health, kidney and liver function, male and female hormones, thyroid function and specific vitamin levels.
- GRAILA blood test that screens for early cancer signals by detecting abnormal DNA fragments in the bloodstream across multiple cancer types.
- Total Tox, month 1 and month 6Measures exposure to environmental toxins including heavy metals, chemicals, mould toxins and pollutants, to evaluate toxic burden and track progress across the program.
- Cyrex Array 12A pathogen associated immune reactivity screen. Detects antibodies to bacteria, viruses, parasites, moulds and spirochetes that may trigger autoimmune reactions.
- MVX, Metabolic Vulnerability IndexProvides a score indicating vulnerability related to metabolic dysfunction and overall metabolic health risk.
The care package. Intake fees are waived across our other services including EBOO, NAD and chelation. You also receive a CGM Lingo continuous glucose monitor, a Keto Mojo blood glucose and ketone monitor, a keto cookbook, and Bulletproof MCT oil.
The investment
This program is intentionally small
Dr. Mary sees a limited number of patients. That is a deliberate choice, not a marketing position. Three 90 minute consultations, three rounds of comprehensive testing and five day a week access are only possible at a scale most practices cannot run. The fee is what makes the format work.
$9,850
Six month program, all inclusive
- Three 90 minute consultations with Dr. Mary
- Comprehensive bloodwork before each consultation, included
- GRAIL, Total Tox at month 1 and 6, Cyrex Array 12 and MVX testing
- Eight weeks of one on one nutritional and lifestyle coaching
- Portal access to Dr. Mary and an assistant, five days a week
- First bio identical hormone pellet or prescription, if recommended
- Biohacking intake fees waived, plus the full care package
Insurance is not billed, as most of these tests are not covered. All bloodwork costs are included in the program fee. There is no lower tier and no single visit option. This is the only program through which Dr. Mary accepts patients.
After the six months
$2,900
Per year, annual membership
Two one hour visits per year with bloodwork, and year round portal access to Dr. Mary and her team, Monday to Friday. Additional visits are $250 per 30 minute session. Extra labs may incur additional costs.

Available once you are enrolled in the six month program. Hormone bloodwork, bio identical hormone pellets and a yearly hormone urine test are included in this price. Any additional hormone prescriptions are out of pocket.
Before you decide
What we will and will not tell you
What you can expect
- A physician who reads your results against your history, not only against a reference range
- Testing most practices do not run, three times across six months
- Changes you can begin the day of your first consultation
- Someone reachable five days a week while you are actually in it
- A maintenance plan you understand well enough to run without us
What to consider
- This is not a quick fix and it is not a prescription pad. Results depend on the work you do
- You will be asked to change how you eat, sleep and move, and to keep those changes
- Nothing here is billed to insurance, and most of this testing is not covered
- If your body took years to reach this state, it will not reverse in weeks
- No physician can promise an outcome, and we will not do so
Fit matters more than interest
Who this program is built for
This sounds like you
- You have been told you are fine and you do not believe it
- You want the cause found, not another prescription
- You are ready to change habits, not just add supplements
- You want one physician who knows your whole picture
This is not the right fit
- You are looking for a single visit or a one off lab review
- You need a treatment your insurance will reimburse
- You want results without changing daily habits
- You need urgent or emergency medical care
From our patients
In their words
“Love this team. Dr Mary is the best Doctor I’ve ever had. I was fatigued and very miserable when I first saw her. She turned my life around.”
Remedy Room patient“I have been going to the Remedy Room for 8 years and value them and Dr. Mary more than any other doctor or medical establishment.”
Remedy Room patient“I swear if it wasn’t for this amazing Dr Mary my quality of health wouldn’t exist. She saved me.”
Remedy Room patientIndividual experiences vary. These are patient reviews and are not a promise of any particular result.
Questions we are asked
Straight answers
Why is there only one program, and no smaller option?
Because the format is the medicine. Three 90 minute consultations, three rounds of comprehensive testing, eight weeks of coaching and five day a week access cannot be delivered piecemeal, and they cannot be delivered at volume. Dr. Mary keeps her patient panel small so that every person in the program gets that depth. A single visit option would mean seeing many more people far less thoroughly, which is the model this program exists to be an alternative to.
Is $9,850 the total, or are there costs on top?
It is the program fee, and it includes all bloodwork across the six months, the advanced testing, your coaching, your consultations and the care package. Your first bio identical hormone pellet or prescription is included if Dr. Mary recommends one. Ongoing supplements, further hormone prescriptions and any additional services beyond the program are separate. We will always tell you what something costs before you commit to it.
Can I use insurance, HSA or FSA?
Insurance is not billed, because most of this testing is not covered. Many patients do use HSA or FSA funds. We can provide your receipt and your plan documentation for submission. Nothing can be submitted to Medicare or Medicaid.
Who is not a candidate for this program?
Anyone who needs urgent or emergency care, anyone looking for a single consultation rather than a six month course of care, and anyone who needs treatment billed through insurance. It is also not the right fit if you are not in a position to change daily habits, because the protocol depends on that participation. If you are unsure, tell us your situation honestly and we will tell you if it is not a fit.
How soon will I feel different?
It varies genuinely from person to person, and anyone who gives you a fixed number is guessing. Many patients notice changes within the first weeks of starting their protocol. The three month consultation is usually where the direction becomes clear to both of you. The full six months exists because sustained change in thyroid, hormone and metabolic function is measured in months, not days.
I am already on thyroid medication. Is this still relevant?
Frequently, yes. A number of patients arrive already medicated and still symptomatic. Dr. Mary will review your current therapy alongside your full panel and your symptoms, and discuss with you whether the current approach is doing what it should. Any change to a prescription is a clinical decision made with you.
Do I have to travel to Metairie?
Yes. This is an in person program at our Metairie clinic, and patients travel from across the New Orleans area and beyond for it. Your bloodwork can be drawn at a LabCorp location convenient to you before each consultation.
Will I actually see Dr. Mary, or her staff?
Dr. Mary conducts all three 90 minute consultations herself. Our Optimal Wellness Assistant, May Cosio, coordinates your scheduling, testing and materials, and you have portal access to Dr. Mary and an administrative assistant five days a week between visits.
What happens when the six months end?
You finish with a maintenance plan you understand. From there you can continue with your own primary care physician, or move onto Dr. Mary’s annual membership at $2,900 per year, which includes two one hour visits with bloodwork and year round portal access.
Is bio identical hormone therapy part of this?
It is, where the testing and the consultation indicate it. Your first pellet or prescription is included in the program if Dr. Mary recommends it. Subsequent BHRT sessions are $700 for women and $750 for men, which includes hormone bloodwork, the pellets and a yearly hormone urine test. BHRT is available to patients enrolled in the program.
