Hormone Care FAQs

HORMONE THERAPY FAQs

What to Expect First Visit

We review your medical history, symptoms, goals, current lifestyle, and discuss treatment options. It’s a chance to ask questions, meet our team, and decide if our program is right for you — no obligation.

Are There Other Treatments?

No. While hormone therapy is an important part of many programs, our menopause optimization packages take a comprehensive approach. In addition to HRT, we provide structured lifestyle coaching, supplement strategies, lab coordination and review, and ongoing support through follow-ups and secure portal messaging. Each plan is tailored to your unique needs, so we focus on the combination of therapies and lifestyle strategies that will help you feel your best.

Understanding HRT

Hormone Replacement Therapy restores hormone levels that decline with age or medical conditions. It's commonly used for women in perimenopause/menopause experiencing symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or weight gain.

Purpose: HRT is primarily used to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and other discomforts associated with menopause.
Hormones Involved: HRT typically involves replacing estrogen, which is naturally produced by the ovaries and declines during menopause. Progesterone may also be included, especially if a woman still has her uterus, to help protect the uterine lining.
Administration Methods: HRT can be administered in different forms, including oral pills, skin patches, gels, or creams.
Benefits: Beyond symptom relief, HRT can also help protect against osteoporosis.
Considerations: HRT is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications include pregnancy, unexplained vaginal bleeding, certain cancers, a history of stroke, heart attack, or blood clots, and liver disease.

What is BHRT?

It's a type of hormone therapy that uses bioidentical hormones, which are structurally identical to those produced naturally by the human body. These hormones are often derived from plant sources, such as soy and wild yams, and then processed in a laboratory.

Bioidentical Hormones: Unlike synthetic or animal-derived hormones used in traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), bioidentical hormones are designed to match the body's own hormones at the molecular level.
Benefits: BHRT aims to restore optimal hormone levels and help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
Uses: BHRT can be used by both men and women, and it's often prescribed to manage menopause symptoms, low testosterone, or other hormonal imbalances.
Forms: BHRT can be administered in various forms, including pills, creams, patches, gels, and vaginal inserts.
Considerations: While BHRT is considered a more natural approach compared to traditional HRT, it's important to discuss the potential benefits and risks with a healthcare professional, as it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Signs of Hormone Imbalance

Common symptoms include:

Low energy
Weight gain (especially belly fat)
Brain fog
Mood swings
Low libido
Sleep issues

Diagnosing Hormone Imbalance

We use a combination of blood testing and symptom review. This helps us determine if your hormone levels are in the optimal range.

Is Hormone Therapy Safe?

When prescribed and monitored properly, HRT is considered safe and effective for most patients. We follow evidence-based guidelines and closely monitor your response with follow-up symptom review and labs.

When Will I See Results?

Many patients feel improvement in energy, sleep, mood, and libido within 3–6 weeks. Full benefits may take a few months of consistent therapy.

Weight Loss & HRT?

Absolutely. Many patients benefit from a combined approach, especially since hormone balance can affect metabolism, appetite, and body composition.

ADMINISTRATIVE & BILLING and GENERAL SERVICE FAQs

Insurance and Payments

We are considered an out-of-network service provider as we do not have a contract with your insurer. As an out of network provider, you can use money in your FSA or HRA accounts to pay for the visit. To use your FSA or HSA, you typically have the options of using a FSA provided debit card or submitting receipts for reimbursement. Upon request, we will supply you with all the necessary documentation for you to file claims with your insurance provider or flexible spending accounts.

We accept cash, credit card, FSA/HSA, or electronic payments.

Membership Options

We do not offer a traditional monthly membership. Instead, we provide comprehensive package-based programs for HRT and menopause optimization. Each package includes a long initial consultation, follow-ups, secure portal messaging, structured lifestyle coaching, supplement guidance, and lab coordination and review. Medication costs are separate.

Our other services are charged per appointment and services rendered.

Disclaimer: All pricing is subject to change without prior notice due to fluctuations in healthcare costs, pharmaceutical pricing, or lab service fees. We will always notify you of any updates before beginning or renewing treatment.

Lab Tests Needed?

Yes. Lab work helps us create a safe, effective plan tailored to your current health status and goals. This may include hormone levels, thyroid function, blood sugar, and more. You can provide current labs or have them drawn through us.
