Why Choose Us

Why Summit Peak Wellness?

Medical weight loss, menopause care, and longevity optimization for people who want more than a prescription.

Because a prescription is not a plan.

At Summit Peak Wellness, we do not simply prescribe weight-loss medication or hormones and send you on your way. We build a personalized care plan around your goals, symptoms, labs, body composition, strength, lifestyle, and long-term health.

Our Programs

Designed to help you:

Lose fat while protecting muscle

Improve energy, sleep, mood, and metabolic health

Navigate perimenopause and menopause with thoughtful medical guidance

Understand your labs and risk factors

Track progress beyond the scale

Build sustainable habits through the Summit Peak Wellness app

Avoid unnecessary supplements, over-testing, and one-size-fits-all treatment

Anyone can prescribe. We help you optimize.

Our Framework

The Summit Peak Method

A simple four-step framework that keeps care focused, measurable, and adaptable.

Step 1

Measure

Know where you stand with the measures that matter for your goals, symptoms, function, and health.

Step 2

Focus

Choose the one or two priorities most likely to improve how you feel, function, or reduce risk.

Step 3

Build

Use the right mix of treatment, nutrition, movement, sleep, habits, and support to build what you need.

Step 4

Reassess

Measure again, see what changed, and decide what to maintain, progress, simplify, or change next.

Our Promise

"A prescription is not the program."

Built for Boulder

Local care, rooted in this community

Weight Loss

Medical weight loss that goes beyond the shot.

Lose fat, protect muscle, and track real progress with body composition, strength metrics, labs, and personalized medical support.

Menopause

Menopause care for women who do not feel heard.

Thoughtful hormone and non-hormone options for sleep, hot flashes, mood, libido, body composition, and energy — with ongoing monitoring and a plan that adapts.

Longevity

Data-driven wellness, not guesswork.

Track body composition, strength, labs, sleep, and metabolic health — then build a plan to age stronger.

"Why should I come here when I can get this online?"

Here's what we say:

"That is a fair question. If all you want is the fastest prescription, online programs may be convenient. What we do is different. We look at your body composition, labs, symptoms, strength, sleep, nutrition, and long-term goals so the prescription is only one part of a safer, more sustainable plan. My goal is not just to help you lose weight or start hormones — it is to help you feel better, preserve muscle, reduce risk, and know exactly what is improving over time."

Our Positioning

We are not an HRT clinic, a GLP-1 clinic, a weight-loss shot clinic, or a med spa.

We are a longevity and metabolic health clinic with aesthetics.

Look better. Feel stronger. Track progress. Age well.

The Summit Peak Difference

One clinician. Your whole story.

Work with a provider who knows your goals, understands your starting point, and follows how you respond. Holly brings symptoms, relevant measurements, treatment, and everyday habits into a focused plan that evolves with you.

A consistent provider from the start

Your ongoing Summit Peak medical care is led by Holly Powell, MSN, MBA, FNP-C. She connects your initial assessment, treatment decisions, and scheduled follow-ups into one continuing relationship.

Unhurried, by design

A boutique, appointment-based practice with time to explain the why behind every recommendation. The person who measures you is the person accountable for the plan.

Continuity that compounds

Each cycle builds on the last. Holly compares your progress with your baseline, reviews what helped and what was difficult, and adjusts your priorities with you. Each visit builds on what you have already learned together.

Local and accountable

An independently owned North Boulder practice, with Colorado telehealth when appropriate. You know who is guiding your care and who will review your next steps.

“The best quality of life possible, for as long as possible.”

Holly Powell, MSN, MBA, FNP-C · Founder & Clinician

Clinical visits and medical questions are handled through SimplePractice. Follow-up frequency and support depend on your selected service. App-only membership provides self-directed wellness tools and does not include medical visits or a patient-provider relationship. Holly coordinates with your primary care provider and specialists when needed, with your permission.
