Hormonal Health Consultation
Fatigue, disrupted sleep, mood changes, hot flashes or a lower libido can have many causes, and hormonal shifts are one of them. A hormonal health assessment is where you find out. Our medical team reviews your symptoms, your health history and your blood test results to determine whether bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is appropriate for you, or whether another approach would suit you better.
Hormone therapy is a prescription treatment, so it always begins with a thorough medical evaluation, and that is what this assessment is for. It is designed for women navigating perimenopause or menopause, and for men experiencing symptoms associated with andropause or lower testosterone.
The assessment helps identify what may be contributing to your symptoms and determine whether hormone therapy is appropriate for you. If recommended, your treatment plan will be tailored to your hormone levels, medical history and individual needs. If hormone therapy is not the right option, our medical team will discuss other approaches that may better support your health and well-being.
What to Expect
From your first appointment to follow-up, every step is supervised by our medical team.
Health Questionnaire and Blood Tests
You complete a health questionnaire and receive a requisition for blood tests. They measure the hormone levels relevant to your symptoms along with general health markers, giving our medical team an objective starting point.
Medical Consultation
Our medical team reviews your symptoms, your personal and family medical history, your current medications and your test results with you. It is also the time to ask your questions and share what you hope to improve.
Personalized Plan and Prescription
Based on your assessment, our medical team determines whether hormone therapy is appropriate for you. If recommended, your personalized plan covers the expected benefits, potential risks, side effects and alternatives. A prescription is then provided for dispensing at a licensed pharmacy. If hormone therapy is not suitable, other options are discussed.
Follow-Up
Hormone therapy is an ongoing, monitored treatment. Follow-up appointments include repeat blood tests so your plan can be adjusted over time. Their frequency is set by our medical team, typically every 3 to 6 months.
Side Effects and Contraindications
Hormone therapy carries risks that vary depending on the treatment and your medical history. Estrogen and progesterone therapy may involve risks related to blood clots or breast health, while testosterone therapy can affect fertility, red blood cell counts and sleep apnea. Your medical team reviews potential side effects and contraindications during your assessment, before any treatment is prescribed.
