We offer personalized hormone optimization for both women and men, available through secure online consultations statewide in Florida, as well as in-person visits.
Women (Perimenopause & Menopause)
As women transition into perimenopause and menopause, levels of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA naturally decline. Replacing these hormones can:
- Enhance quality of life by improving energy, mood, sleep, mental clarity, and sexual health
- Support heart health, significantly lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attacks
- Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic function
- Strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis, reducing fracture risks
- Support brain health, lowering risks of cognitive decline and neurologic disorders
- Reduce colon cancer risk, as shown in multiple long-term studies
- Improve body composition, supporting healthy muscle mass and reducing fat accumulation
- Enhance libido and sexual satisfaction, particularly with testosterone and DHEA optimization
- Support emotional wellbeing, reducing irritability, anxiety, and depressive symptoms
- Optimize long-term health outcomes, with earlier initiation (within the first 10 years after menopause) providing the greatest
protective benefits
Hormone Therapy for Men (Andropause / Low Testosterone)
For men, testosterone levels begin to decline gradually starting in their late 30s or early 40s. This can lead to:
- Reduced energy and stamina
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
- Increased abdominal fat
- Decreased libido and sexual performance
- Mood changes, irritability, or feelings of depression
- Poor concentration and memory
Benefits of Testosterone Optimization in Men:
- Enhances energy, motivation, and overall vitality
- Increases lean muscle mass and strength
- Reduces abdominal fat and improves body composition
- Boosts libido and sexual satisfaction
- Stabilizes mood and emotional wellbeing
- Improves cognitive clarity, focus, and productivity
- Supports cardiovascular health, bone density, and insulin sensitivity
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is DHEA and why is it important?
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It supports energy, immune function, cognitive health, mood, and hormonal balance, including estrogen and testosterone production. Levels decline with age and stress.
2. Is hormone therapy safe for women?
Yes, when medically supervised and personalized. Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) has been shown to:
- Relieve menopausal symptoms
- Reduce osteoporosis, heart disease, and cognitive decline risk
- Improve quality of life and longevity
Using transdermal estradiol, oral progesterone, and low-dose testosterone or DHEA is safe for most women under proper guidance.
3. How is hormone therapy administered?
- Women: Estradiol (patch, gel, cream, pellet), progesterone (oral capsule), testosterone (cream or pellet), DHEA (oral capsule or cream)
- Men: Testosterone (injection, gel, cream, pellet), DHEA (oral capsule)
4. What are the benefits for men on testosterone therapy?
- Increased muscle mass and strength
- Enhanced energy and motivation
- Improved libido and sexual function
- Better mood, focus, and cognitive performance
- Supports metabolic and cardiovascular health
5. What is “bioidentical” hormone therapy?
“Bioidentical” means hormones are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces, derived from plant sources and compounded to precise doses. They integrate seamlessly with your body for effective, gentle results.
6. Are online consultations effective for hormone therapy?
Absolutely. Our virtual appointments include:
- Comprehensive lab review
- Symptom evaluation
- Personalized hormone prescriptions
- Lifestyle and supplement guidance
All treatments are shipped directly to your home, and labs can be done locally.
7. How soon will I notice improvements?
Most patients experience symptom relief within 2-4 weeks, with full benefits by 3-6 months as hormone levels stabilize.
8. Can hormone therapy help with weight loss?
While not a weight loss treatment itself, hormone optimization supports metabolism, reduces fat storage, and enhances energy, making it easier to lose weight with healthy nutrition and exercise.
9. Is hormone therapy safe for those with family history of breast cancer or heart disease?
Yes, family history does not contraindicate treatment, and therapy can be tailored to each patient’s unique risks and goals under professional supervision.
10. How long do I need hormone therapy?
There is no “one-size-fits-all” timeline. Many women and men choose to continue therapy long-term for ongoing health, vitality, and disease prevention.
