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.

Every medication is prescribed and monitored by our licensed providers after an exam, labs and an EKG. 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.

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.
