Me First Wellness Collective·The Care Your Insurance Was Never Designed To Cover
“Medicine that finally has time for you.”
Medicine the Way It Was Meant to Be
A Physician Who Actually Has Time for You
This is what medicine looks like when it isn't rushed. When your physician sits with you long enough to actually listen — not just check boxes. When the visit doesn't end before you've finished your sentence.
Dr. Standifer-Barrett built Me First Wellness Collective around the belief that every person deserves a physician who knows their name, their history, and what actually matters to them. That's not a luxury. That's what medicine is supposed to be.
Dr. Bryanne Standifer-Barrett, MD, MSCP · Michigan
Your Doctor Has 15 Minutes. You Deserve More Than That.
Me First Wellness Collective exists to give you what the system can't — time, translation, and a plan built around you. Every service is direct, personalized, and led by a board-certified Internal Medicine physician. Currently serving Michigan patients — more states coming soon. Stay tuned. Most visits are conducted virtually, and Dr. Standifer-Barrett can meet you where you are — whether that's your home or your workplace. Office space is also available for in-person visits when needed.

The Care Your Insurance Was Never Built To Cover.
Most physicians didn't go to medical school to spend eight minutes with a patient, type through a checklist, and move to the next room. We went into this work to understand people — to explain what's happening in their bodies, to sit with their fear long enough to ease it, and to walk alongside them as they change. Today's system makes that kind of care nearly impossible. Me First Wellness Collective is where I practice medicine the way I always meant to: unhurried, individualized, and built around you.

How We Meet You

And for those who prefer face-to-face, office space is available for in-person visits when needed. Medicine that fits your life.

Menopause Management
Menopause Management
Comprehensive menopause care from diagnosis through ongoing management. Your initial visit includes a full clinical evaluation, personalized treatment plan, and one included follow-up. Hormone therapy and other treatments prescribed where clinically appropriate. Visits thereafter billed at $150 each.
A focused 45-minute session to understand your symptoms, review labs through a menopause lens, and walk away knowing what options exist and what questions to ask your own physician.
Symptom review & hormone lab education
Overview of treatment options — HRT, lifestyle, supplements
This is not your average annual checkup. The Dr. Standifer Signature Assessment is a physician-led executive physical built for the person who takes their health as seriously as they take everything else in their life. Dr. Standifer-Barrett conducts an extensive, head-to-toe clinical evaluation — reviewing your labs with precision, assessing cardiac risk, analyzing your metabolic markers, and identifying what your body is telling you before it becomes a problem you can't ignore. You leave with a comprehensive health risk profile and a strategic action plan — not a pamphlet, not generic advice, but a real clinical roadmap built specifically for you. This is the visit that changes how you approach your health. Don't wait until something goes wrong.
Bring your symptoms, labs, or concerns. Dr. Standifer-Barrett provides a physician-level overview and clinical perspective — so you can return to your own primary care physician with a clearer picture and continue care from a place of understanding.
Physician-led symptom & health overview
Clinical perspective on labs, results, or concerns
A 30-minute session to ask the questions your doctor didn't have time to answer. Best for people who already have a primary care physician and want a knowledgeable second voice — no prep, no labs required.
Personalized health coaching and accountability support built around your goals, your life, and your pace. Dr. Standifer-Barrett determines your individualized coaching plan — including session frequency and structure — based on your initial session and what your body and lifestyle actually need. This is not a generic program. It is a coaching relationship built specifically for you.
Weight Management · Dr. Standifer's Exclusive Program
Dr. Standifer's Weight Optimization Program
Weight is not a willpower problem — it is a clinical one. Dr. Standifer's exclusive program combines a full weight and nutrition assessment, personalized food structuring, and her proprietary GLP-1 microdosing protocol where clinically indicated. A structured maintenance plan keeps your results moving month after month.

Are You Taking Supplements & Not Sure What's Right for You?
Taking supplements you saw online? Not sure if what you're taking is actually doing anything — or if you're missing something your body actually needs? This session is for you. Dr. Standifer-Barrett reviews your vitamin and nutrient labs, identifies real deficiencies, and builds a personalized plan so you're not guessing at the supplement aisle anymore.
Lab-based review of key vitamins & nutrient markers
When a loved one is hospitalized, the system can feel impossible to navigate — medical jargon, rushed conversations, decisions made without full understanding. Dr. Standifer-Barrett serves as your dedicated health advocate: reviewing the care plan, explaining what's happening in plain language, helping you formulate effective questions for the care team, and guiding you through the hospital system so nothing important is missed. Pricing is determined by consultation based on the nature and complexity of the situation.
Review of hospitalization details & care plan

Why I Built Me First Wellness Collective
I have watched the traditional system shrink medicine into something I didn't recognize. Shorter visits. More checkboxes. Less time to actually talk, listen, and know the person in front of you. The physicians I trained with — the ones I wanted to become — had time. Time to ask the second question. Time to notice the thing that didn't show up in the labs. Time to sit with someone in a hard moment and actually help them through it.
That time has been squeezed out of the system. But the need for it hasn't gone anywhere.
Me First Wellness Collective is my answer to that. A practice built around the philosophy I've carried since the beginning — Me First, then everybody else — because you cannot show up for anyone else if you are not showing up for yourself. My job is to give you the knowledge, the tools, and the confidence to put your health first, advocate for yourself at every appointment, and understand your own body deeply enough to know when something needs attention.
This is medicine. Led by a physician. Built for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about services, membership, payments, and how Me First Wellness Collective works.
About the Practice
Me First Wellness Collective is a direct-pay concierge micropractice founded by Dr. Bryanne Standifer-Barrett, MD, MSCP. We offer virtual, 1:1 physician-led services focused on menopause management, comprehensive health evaluation, weight optimization, health coaching, medical consultation, and health advocacy. No insurance is billed — all services are cash-pay.
For most services, no — and that's by design. Many of our sessions are built to complement your existing primary care, giving you the physician depth and time that a traditional visit can't offer. For Concierge Primary Care Members, Dr. Standifer-Barrett does serve as your personal primary care physician. For all other services, she works alongside your existing care team.
Most services are delivered virtually through the HIPAA-compliant SigmaMD platform — flexible, convenient, and accessible from your home or workplace. For added convenience, Dr. Standifer-Barrett can also meet you at your home or workplace when needed. Office space is available for in-person visits as well. You'll receive SigmaMD access when you book, which is used for scheduling, communication, and payment.
Me First Wellness Collective is currently serving Michigan patients. Additional states are coming soon — stay tuned. If you are outside Michigan, email bookings@bryannemd.com to be added to the notification list for when your state becomes available.
Payments & Insurance
We do not bill insurance for physician services. All services are direct pay. However, you may use your own health insurance to cover prescriptions and laboratory services at your own discretion — we will provide any documentation needed for that purpose.
All payments are processed through the SigmaMD platform, a HIPAA-compliant application. You will set up your payment method when you enroll or book your first service. For the concierge membership, a one-time $50 enrollment fee is charged at sign-up, and monthly payments of $165 begin January 1st.
HSA and FSA eligibility for direct-pay physician services varies depending on your plan. We recommend checking with your HSA/FSA administrator. We can provide receipts and documentation upon request to assist with any reimbursement claims.
Services
Menopause Management ($250 initial) is ongoing clinical care — Dr. Standifer-Barrett evaluates your symptoms and labs, makes a diagnosis, and prescribes and manages treatment including hormone therapy where appropriate. The Menopause Clarity Session ($175) is a standalone educational session for women who want to understand their symptoms and options so they can have a more informed conversation with their own physician. No prescribing in the Clarity Session.
The Dr. Standifer Signature Assessment ($425) is Dr. Standifer-Barrett's signature physician-led executive physical. It includes extensive lab review, cardiac risk assessment, metabolic and vascular profiling, sleep and stress analysis, a comprehensive personal health risk assessment, and a strategic action plan delivered in writing within 48 hours. It is a 75-minute 1:1 session — the most thorough single-visit health evaluation available outside of a hospital setting. Built for people who take their health as seriously as they take everything else.
The program includes Dr. Standifer's exclusive GLP-1 microdosing protocol where clinically indicated — meaning it is only prescribed if it is appropriate for you based on a full evaluation. Medication is not guaranteed; it is one tool among many reviewed during the program. The $199 initial fee covers the evaluation and one follow-up visit. Follow-up visits are $99 per visit, with every 2 months recommended for ongoing maintenance.
The Health Advocate Service is for when a loved one is hospitalized and you need a physician on your side to help navigate the system. Dr. Standifer-Barrett reviews the care plan, explains what's happening in plain language, helps you formulate effective questions for the care team, and guides you through the hospital process. Pricing is determined based on the nature and complexity of the situation. Email bookings@bryannemd.com to start the conversation.
