FAQ’s
Natural bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure that is identical to the hormones produced by our bodies. We refer to them as "natural" because they occur naturally within the body. Since these substances are found in nature, pharmaceutical companies cannot patent them.
On the other hand, synthetic hormones have a similar structure but are not identical to the hormones produced by the body. These structural differences cause synthetic hormones to act differently, leading to significantly different effects in the body.
It is important to note that bioidentical (natural) hormones and synthetic hormones are not interchangeable. Numerous studies have shown various adverse effects associated with synthetic hormones, while the medical literature indicates that bioidentical hormones have no harmful effects, only beneficial outcomes.
Numerous studies have shown various adverse effects associated with synthetic hormones, including cancer and blot clots. Conversely, medical literature indicates that bioidentical hormones have no harmful effects, only beneficial outcomes.
If one qualifies for BHRT through comprehensive lab results and an extensive discussion about your medical history, symptoms, stressors, and lifestyle, men and women can be prescribed several different bioidentical hormones, including testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, thyroid, and melatonin.

Unfortunately, hormones cannot reverse the aging process. However, they can significantly reduce and, in some cases, mitigate specific symptoms associated with aging. Much of what goes wrong as we age is due to hormone hypofunction. A decline in hormone levels or their effectiveness disrupts the balance that was once maintained in our bodies. Symptoms and health issues related to aging, such as low energy, low libido, decreased sense of well-being, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, brain fog, obesity, and muscle loss, are largely the result of declining hormone levels. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is currently the only solution available for alleviating these symptoms.
Although some clients notice they feel better within days or a few weeks, within three to six months BHRT patients will notice reshaped bodies, increased muscle, fat disappearing, and the energy of a younger person. Research shows that the longer one is hormone optimized the better the results. You didn’t get to where you are overnight. The process will take a little time, but as a client, we’ve got your back. You’ll be able to contact your provider with any concerns or questions by telehealth (phone or virtual), text, or email.
We do not accept insurance. The traditional insurance "fee for service" model is outdated and their protocols do not address the root causes of people's symptoms. We believe it is important that insurance protocols do not dictate the care we provide to our clients. Additionally, we do not offer super bills.
