One Telehealth Practice. Multiple Ways to Support Your Health.
Your health needs can change throughout different seasons of life. Balm of Gilead brings several areas of wellness together so you can receive more connected, personalized care.
Weight Management
Clinician-led medical weight-management care focused on your health history, metabolic factors, lifestyle and individual goals. Prescription weight-management medications, including GLP-1 therapy, may be considered when clinically appropriate.
Women's Wellness
Personalized care for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, hormonal changes, weight, sleep, energy, mood, sexual wellness and metabolic health.
Men's Health
Private medical care for hormonal health, sexual wellness, testosterone-related symptoms, erectile dysfunction, weight, energy, metabolic wellness and healthy aging.
Mental Wellness
Confidential psychiatric telehealth services may include evaluation and medication management for anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress/adjustment concerns, ADHD when clinically appropriate, and other psychiatric concerns within our scope of practice.
Longevity
Personalized healthy-aging care focused on metabolic health, hormonal health, sleep, energy, nutrition, weight, healthy-aging strategies and laboratory evaluation when appropriate.
Urgent Care
When you're not feeling well, getting care shouldn't have to mean spending hours in a waiting room. Balm Urgent Care provides convenient telehealth evaluation for eligible non-emergency health concerns.
Getting Started Is Simple

Choose Your Wellness Path
Tell us whether you're seeking support for weight, women's or men's health, mental wellness, healthy aging or urgent care.
02
Complete Your Secure Intake
Provide your health history and information through our secure patient system.
03
Meet With Your Clinician
Your provider reviews your history, symptoms, medications and goals. Labs may be recommended when appropriate.

Receive Your Personalized Plan
Your plan may include lifestyle recommendations, laboratory testing, referrals and prescription treatment when clinically appropriate.
More Than Convenience. Care That Looks at the Whole You.
That's why we take a broader approach.
Balm of Gilead was created around the belief that healthcare should not treat every concern as if it exists by itself.
Your weight can affect your mental health. Hormonal changes can affect your sleep, mood and metabolism. Stress can affect your physical health. Poor sleep can influence energy, appetite and emotional wellness.
Whole-Person Care
Tell us whether you're seeking support for weight, women's or men's health, mental wellness, healthy aging or urgent care.
Clinician-Led
Medical decisions are made by qualified healthcare professionals based on individual clinical evaluation.
Personalized
Your treatment plan is built around you—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Convenient
Receive eligible services from the privacy of your home.
Continuity
Care doesn't end after one appointment. Follow-up and monitoring are part of the Balm experience.
Mind + Body
Our expertise in both physical and mental healthcare allows us to recognize how the two can interact.
Whole-Person Care Starts With Understanding the Whole Person.
Dr. Chinwe Uwem (Okudo), DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner
Dr. Chinwe brings together expertise in both physical and mental healthcare to provide a truly integrated approach to wellness.
Her clinical philosophy recognizes that concerns such as weight, sleep, mood, stress, hormones, energy and metabolic health can often be interconnected. At Balm of Gilead, the goal is not simply to treat a symptom. It is to understand the patient, identify clinically relevant factors and develop an individualized path forward.
Your First Visit Is About Understanding You.
Your first telehealth appointment is not simply a medication request. It is an opportunity for your clinician to understand your concerns and determine what type of care may be appropriate.
