Find answers to common questions about hormone replacement therapy, our treatment process, and what to expect.
General Questions
Hormone replacement therapy involves supplementing your body with hormones that have declined due to aging, menopause, or other medical conditions. For women, this typically involves estrogen and progesterone (HRT). For men, it usually focuses on testosterone (TRT).
Common symptoms of hormone deficiency include persistent fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, decreased libido, sleep problems, brain fog, and reduced muscle mass. The only way to know for sure is through comprehensive lab testing.
When properly prescribed and monitored by qualified physicians, hormone therapy is generally safe for most patients. We use bioidentical hormones when possible and provide ongoing monitoring.
Most patients begin to notice improvements within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment, with more significant changes occurring over 3-6 months.
Treatment Process

We perform comprehensive hormone panels that may include testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones (TSH, Free T3, Free T4), DHEA, cortisol, insulin, and other relevant markers.
Initially, follow-up appointments are every 6-8 weeks. Once your levels are optimized and stable, appointments may be every 3-6 months.
