Treatments
Hormone care that takes the time to get it right.
Hormone changes can affect sleep, energy, mood, weight and more. We take a careful, whole-person look, check your levels in our office and, when hormone therapy is a good fit, build a plan with you and follow up closely.
Who we help
Who we help.
Perimenopause and menopause
Hot flashes, sleep changes, mood shifts and other symptoms that come with perimenopause and menopause.
Low testosterone in men

Options
Your options, explained.
There's more than one way to replace hormones. We'll walk you through each one so you can decide with your provider.
- 01
FDA-approved hormones
Standard FDA-approved hormone products, such as patches, gels and pills, filled at your pharmacy.
- 02
Bioidentical hormones
Hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body makes. Some are FDA-approved products; others are compounded.
- 03
Compounded hormones
Custom-mixed by a licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded hormones aren't FDA-approved, and the FDA doesn't review them for safety, effectiveness or quality, so we talk through the trade-offs with you first.

Cost
What's included.
Your visits, check-ins and blood draws in our office are part of your membership. Lab tests are processed and billed separately by an outside lab, and the hormones themselves are paid separately, through your pharmacy or insurance, and we'll help you look at the options.
General information, not medical advice. Hormone therapy isn't right for everyone; your provider will decide with you whether it's appropriate.
Questions
Good to know.
Is hormone therapy included in my membership?
Your visits, check-ins and in-office blood draws are part of membership. Lab tests are billed separately by the lab that processes them. The hormones themselves are paid separately.
What's the difference between bioidentical and compounded hormones?
Bioidentical means chemically identical to the hormones your body makes; some bioidentical hormones are FDA-approved products. Compounded hormones are custom-mixed by a pharmacy and aren't FDA-approved. We'll explain the differences so you can choose with your provider.
Is hormone therapy right for everyone?
No. It isn't recommended for some people and some health histories. Your provider will go through yours carefully before prescribing.
Do you treat men too?
Yes. We evaluate and treat low testosterone in men, confirmed with lab testing.
How often will we check in?
More often when you're starting or adjusting, then as often as your plan needs. Visits are unlimited with membership.
