Chad J. Gilliam, PA-C

Madison Wellness & Aesthetic Center, established in 2009 in Madison, Alabama, operates under the clinical direction of Chad Gilliam, M.M.S., PA-C, delivering hormone optimization, weight management, and aesthetic medicine through in-person consultations. The practice applies functional medicine principles to address thyroid dysfunction, metabolic disorders, and age-related hormonal decline, with treatment protocols tailored to individual lab findings and symptom profiles. Chad Gilliam holds a Master of Medical Science degree and maintains board certification as a physician assistant, bringing over a decade of experience in regenerative and integrative therapies to the North Alabama region.

Hormone replacement therapy at Madison Wellness & Aesthetic Center includes bioidentical testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormone optimization for men and women experiencing fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and reduced vitality. The clinic utilizes comprehensive hormone panels to identify deficiencies in thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3), sex hormones, and adrenal markers, then designs replacement protocols using creams, injections, or pellets based on patient preference and pharmacokinetics. Peptide therapy options support muscle recovery, metabolic function, and cellular repair, with protocols adjusted according to patient goals and response monitoring. Weight management programs combine prescription medications, nutritional counseling, and metabolic support supplements to address insulin resistance, leptin sensitivity, and appetite regulation.

Chad Gilliam's clinical approach integrates lab-driven diagnostics with patient-reported outcomes, adjusting treatment intensity and modality based on follow-up testing and symptom resolution. Patients receive detailed explanations of their hormone levels, metabolic markers, and nutrient deficiencies during initial consultations, with treatment plans that may include pharmaceutical-grade supplements, prescription therapies, and lifestyle modification strategies. The clinic's aesthetic services complement its wellness programs, offering treatments that address skin quality, body composition, and age-related changes through evidence-based modalities. Follow-up visits track progress through repeat lab work, body composition analysis, and symptom questionnaires, allowing for protocol refinement over time.

Patients at Madison Wellness & Aesthetic Center typically begin with a comprehensive intake appointment that includes medical history review, physical examination, and initial lab orders, followed by a results consultation where Chad Gilliam presents findings and recommends specific interventions. Treatment plans often address multiple systems simultaneously—thyroid optimization paired with testosterone replacement, or weight loss protocols combined with peptide therapy for muscle preservation. The clinic provides ongoing monitoring through scheduled follow-ups, with lab testing intervals determined by the stability of hormone levels and the complexity of the treatment regimen. Patients receive direct access to the clinical team for questions about dosing, side effects, or protocol adjustments between scheduled visits.

Located in Madison, Alabama, the clinic serves patients throughout the Huntsville metropolitan area and surrounding counties, offering a regional resource for individuals seeking alternatives to conventional primary care for hormone-related concerns. The practice maintains a 4.9-star rating across 356 Google reviews, with patients frequently noting improvements in energy, weight management outcomes, and overall quality of life following treatment. Madison Wellness & Aesthetic Center does not offer telehealth services, requiring all consultations and follow-ups to occur in person at the Madison facility, which allows for hands-on assessment and immediate clinical decision-making during patient visits.
