ThriveWellMD is a telehealth practice run by Dr. Nicole Perrotte, an internal medicine physician with added training in lifestyle and obesity medicine who is also a certified health coach. Care starts with a two-part video assessment, with a 60-minute intake, a full lab panel and then a second 60-minute visit to go over the results and a written plan. Patients then move into monthly phases for hormones, metabolism and weight, or sexual health, with app messaging between visits. The hormone phase includes bioidentical hormone therapy made by outside compounding pharmacies. She built the practice after her own burnout, fatigue and weight gain, and it does not replace a primary care doctor.
A private-pay, physician-led lifestyle medicine practice in Buckhead focused on women over 40 in perimenopause and menopause, which also treats men for testosterone and metabolic concerns. Every new client starts with the same intake, a broad lab panel, body composition analysis, an hour with the physician and a written plan, before any treatment is recommended. Ongoing care runs as invitation-based programs for hormone optimization or weight, plus a maintenance membership with quarterly visits. Hormones are offered as creams, oral, vaginal, injections and pellets. It is not a primary care practice and refers out for mammograms, cervical screening and other diagnostic work.
Dr. Sweeney is a gynecologist at Piedmont OB-GYN, a group practice of women's doctors on Collier Road near Piedmont Atlanta Hospital.

The practice offers hormone therapy by vaginal, oral or skin routes and schedules regular follow-up visits to check how treatment is working. Care is in the office, and the practice bills insurance for visits.
