Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the process of adding back hormones that your body is no longer producing in optimal amounts — most commonly estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA. The goal is to relieve symptoms and restore balance so you can feel like yourself again and support long-term healthspan and aging.

We take a functional medicine approach — meaning we also consider root causes, not just symptom management when developing a treatment plan. We combine detailed symptom assessment with advanced lab testing, and tailor treatment to you. This includes BHRT, targeted supplements, nutrition support, and ongoing monitoring to keep your plan responsive as your needs change.

Yes — when prescribed and monitored by trained clinicians like ours, bioidentical hormone therapy is safe, effective, and well-tolerated. We carefully monitor hormone levels and symptom response over time to ensure your safety and effectiveness of the plan.

“Bioidentical” hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally makes. Because of this, your body can more easily recognize, use, and metabolize them — making them a safer and more natural-feeling option compared to synthetic hormones.

We offer personalized options based on your body’s needs and treatment goals. These may include transdermal patches, creams, oral capsules, or vaginal applications. We do not use hormone pellets. Your provider will help you determine the best option for you.

Many women are told testing isn’t useful because “hormones fluctuate” — but that’s only part of the story. We believe women deserve better data. Functional testing allows us to see patterns across your cycle, assess hormone metabolism, and truly understand what your body needs.

The most accurate hormone evaluations use a combination of blood and urine testing depending on what we’re looking for. We often include testing for hormone metabolites, which reveal how your body processes and detoxifies hormones — a critical part of safe and effective HRT.

That’s what we’re here for! After your intake and lab review, your clinician will recommend a personalized plan based on your health history, symptoms, lab trends, and goals.

No problem. We’ll still do a comprehensive evaluation and can offer a range of non-hormonal options including nutrition, herbs, lifestyle strategies, and targeted supplements to help bring you into balance. HRT is only recommended when appropriate and desired.

Lab fees, supplements, and prescriptions are not included. However, we guide you through the lab process, including what may be covered by insurance, and only recommend what’s necessary and evidence-based.

Most women need 2–3 follow-up visits per year to monitor and adjust their plan. The Essentials Package includes two visits up front, and you can always add more when you need them or purchase in advance for additional savings.

Yes, we do prescribe topical bioidentical testosterone when clinically appropriate. Because testosterone is a controlled substance, our ability to prescribe it depends on the state you reside in and our providers’ licensure in that state. If we are unable to prescribe testosterone directly, we will guide you with recommended dosing and instructions that you can share with your local provider. We also continue to monitor your lab results and symptom response to ensure your treatment remains safe and effective.

We are a fully virtual office so you will not need to come into the office. Please be aware that telemedicine laws are constantly changing. While we are a fully virtual practice now, there is the possibility that an annual in-office appointment may be required in the future for some patients. This is governed both by our malpractice insurance and state regulations, and we will keep all patients updated if we make changes to our policy with advanced notice.
