our approach

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers a natural, individualized approach to restoring hormonal balance.

Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those produced by your body, allowing for better absorption and fewer side effects.

We practice evidence based hormone therapy grounded in clinical data, careful lab evaluation, and ongoing monitoring. Hormone levels are not static. They shift with stress, sleep, metabolism, body composition, and overall health. Because of this, we believe treatment should be adjustable and responsive over time.

 

We prioritize delivery methods that allow precise dosing and thoughtful titration. Topical creams, transdermal patches, oral formulations, and injectable therapies can be adjusted in small, measured increments based on lab results and how you are feeling. This allows us to raise, lower, or refine dosing safely over time rather than committing to a fixed amount.

 

In many cases, hormones can be combined into streamlined regimens such as a single compounded cream, patch, or structured injection plan that integrates easily into daily life while still allowing full medical oversight. When controllable, adjustable options are available, we choose those first because they support precision, flexibility, and long term safety.

ongoing support AND CARE

Hormone therapy is not a one time prescription. It requires oversight, follow up, and clinical judgment. Your care is overseen by board certified medical providers who monitor progress, review labs, and make adjustments as needed. The goal is safe, sustainable balance that supports how you feel, function, and live long term.

PERSONALIZED DOSING & ADJUSTABLE PLANS

Your hormones are not static. Neither is your treatment. We use dosing strategies that can be modified as symptoms improve or needs change. This allows for thoughtful adjustments over time rather than committing you to fixed long term dosing that cannot be easily changed.

LAB TESTING & DATA-DRIVEN CARE

Hormone therapy should never be based on symptoms alone. We evaluate comprehensive lab panels to assess hormonal balance, metabolic markers, and overall health before starting treatment. Follow up testing ensures therapy remains appropriate and optimized. Decisions are made from measurable data, not guesswork.

Our Position on Pellet Therapy

Hormone pellet therapy is a long acting option that involves a minor surgical insertion under the skin. Once implanted, the dose cannot be lowered or removed if side effects occur. Because pellets dissolve gradually over months, hormone levels cannot be adjusted in real time based on lab results or symptoms.

Sustained hormone levels that are higher than intended may increase the risk of acne, hair changes, voice changes, mood shifts, and other androgen related effects. There are also surgical risks associated with the insertion procedure.

While pellet therapy is marketed as convenient, adjustable topical, transdermal, oral, and injectable options provide flexibility without sacrificing simplicity. In many cases, hormones can be combined into streamlined regimens such as a single compounded cream, patch, or structured injection plan that integrates easily into daily life.

Our focus is safe, responsive therapy that allows us to monitor, adjust, and refine treatment as your body changes.

FAQ

  • Bioidentical hormone therapy uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. Treatment is designed to restore balance when levels decline or become disrupted due to age, stress, metabolic changes, or medical conditions. At our clinic, therapy is guided by comprehensive lab testing and ongoing medical oversight.

  • Candidates typically experience symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance such as fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, sleep disruption, weight changes, low libido, hot flashes, or reduced muscle mass. Candidacy is determined after reviewing medical history, symptoms, and lab results. Not everyone with symptoms requires hormone therapy, and treatment is only recommended when clinically appropriate.

  • Hormone therapy should never be based on symptoms alone. Comprehensive lab testing allows us to evaluate hormone levels, metabolic markers, and overall health before making treatment decisions. This ensures dosing is appropriate and aligned with your physiology from the start.

  • We commonly prescribe topical creams, transdermal patches, oral formulations, and injectable therapies when appropriate. These delivery methods allow for precise dosing and ongoing adjustments based on lab results and how you are feeling. In many cases, hormones can be combined into simplified regimens to support consistency and ease.

  • Pellet therapy involves a minor surgical procedure and provides a fixed dose that cannot be adjusted once implanted. Because hormone needs can change over time, we prioritize delivery methods that allow real time titration. Adjustable therapies help reduce the risk of sustained hormone levels that are higher than intended and allow us to respond safely to lab changes or side effects.

  • Some patients begin to notice changes within a few weeks, while others may take several months to experience full benefit. Hormone therapy is not an immediate fix. It requires thoughtful dosing and gradual adjustments to reach stable, therapeutic levels.

  • Follow up frequency depends on your treatment plan and how your body responds. Early monitoring may be more frequent to ensure safe titration. Once levels are stable, visits are typically spaced further apart, with periodic lab reassessment to maintain balance.

  • Medications may be sourced in different ways depending on the prescription. Some medications and injectable support therapies are filled through licensed, U.S.-based compounding or specialty pharmacies, while others are sent to a patient’s preferred local pharmacy. All prescriptions are written and reviewed by licensed medical providers. Any oral supplements recommended are selected from trusted medical-grade partners.

  • All hormone therapy carries potential risks, which vary depending on the hormone used, dose, delivery method, and individual health history. Possible side effects may include acne, fluid retention, mood changes, breast tenderness, or changes in hair growth. More serious risks depend on medical history and whether hormone levels are kept within appropriate physiologic ranges.

    This is why careful evaluation and ongoing monitoring are essential. Hormone therapy is complex and requires an experienced medical provider who understands hormone physiology, lab interpretation, dosing adjustments, and risk stratification. When therapy is thoughtfully prescribed, titrated appropriately, and monitored consistently, risks can be significantly reduced.

     

    Our approach prioritizes conservative dosing, regular lab review, and individualized oversight to support both safety and effectiveness.

  • Lab work may be eligible for insurance coverage depending on your plan. Hormone prescriptions and follow up visits are typically self pay. Our team can review options with you prior to starting care.

  • We practice structured, evidence based hormone therapy. Treatment begins with comprehensive lab testing and is adjusted thoughtfully over time based on measurable data and clinical expertise.

    We prioritize delivery methods that allow precise dosing and real time adjustments. Ongoing monitoring is built into our model of care to reduce risk and ensure hormone levels remain within appropriate physiologic ranges.

     

    Hormone therapy requires nuance. Our focus is medical oversight, conservative titration, and long term partnership rather than one time prescribing.

  • Hormone therapy is personalized, so pricing depends on the specific hormones prescribed, delivery method, and your individual treatment plan.

    Our initial comprehensive consultation, where we review your lab results and develop a treatment plan, is $100. This visit is scheduled only after lab work confirms you are an appropriate candidate for therapy. If your lab results indicate that hormone therapy is not recommended, we discuss that with you before scheduling a consultation.

    Ongoing costs vary based on the medications and dosing required. During your consultation, all pricing is reviewed clearly so you understand your options before beginning treatment. Our goal is transparent, structured care without unnecessary procedures or bundled fees.

  • Medications may be sourced in different ways depending on the prescription. Some medications and injectable support therapies are filled through licensed, U.S.-based compounding or specialty pharmacies, while others are sent to a patient’s preferred local pharmacy. All prescriptions are written and reviewed by board certified medical providers. Any oral supplements recommended are selected from trusted medical-grade partners.
