Services · Hormone Therapy · Nutrition

Yes, and most successful patients do. Common combinations include weight loss + hormone therapy, or weight loss + injection therapy. Your physician will recommend the best combination for your goals.

Hormone Therapy · Injections · Membership

Yes. All medications are FDA-approved and prescribed under direct physician supervision. We screen for contraindications, monitor for side effects, and adjust protocols as needed.

Side effects vary by medication but are typically mild: dry mouth, mild nausea, or slight increase in heart rate. GLP-1 medications may cause nausea initially. We start with low doses and titrate up gradually.

This varies by individual. Some patients use medications for 6-12 months during active weight loss, then taper off. Others benefit from longer-term maintenance. Your physician will guide this decision.

No. We are a direct-pay practice. This allows us to offer transparent pricing, spend more time with patients, and avoid insurance restrictions on treatments.
