Faster Treatment = Feel Better Faster!
A Message From our Founder

Restoring Balance

Hormonal changes happen throughout our lives, and bioidentical hormone replacement, in the right circumstances and administered safely, can bring incredible relief in many cases.

BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) is a transformative approach addressing hormone deficiencies or imbalances, exclusively employing molecules identical to those naturally occurring in the human body.

Age-related transitions are the most common cause of hormonal shifts, such as perimenopause and menopause in women and andropause in men. Yet a myriad of other factors, such as diet, lifestyle, pregnancy, illness, stress, trauma, and even some medications, can also cause changes and imbalances.

Hormones, acting as chemical messengers, intricately govern nearly every physiological process in the human body, all working in synergy. Disruption in one hormone level often triggers disturbances in others.

Restoring hormonal equilibrium can have many health benefits beyond mere symptom relief. Our commitment is reflected in accurate laboratory testing, pinpointing hormones requiring regulation, and working to achieve optimal hormone balance and overall well-being.

Hormone Balancing

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Derived from plants, bioidentical hormones serve as precise replicas of the hormones naturally produced in the body, boasting identical chemical structures at their core.

Unlike synthetic hormones, which deviate from the body’s natural compositions, bioidentical hormones are sourced from nature and mirror the body’s hormonal blueprint. This is the essence of BHRT, utilizing these naturally derived hormones to rejuvenate levels and promote overall health and wellness.

The inevitable aging process brings about a decline in hormones. This decline, particularly with an extended lifespan, can subject people to endure many years with suboptimal hormone levels.

Yes, balancing hormones eases symptoms. But it also plays a crucial role in preventing and managing chronic diseases or conditions.

The quest for hormonal balance becomes paramount in navigating the journey toward sustained well-being.

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Conditions and Symptoms You Can Improve

Hormones can affect so many bodily functions, but here are some of the most common conditions that we have seen good success in improving.

bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

Unwanted Weight Gain

A number of hormones can contribute to challenges in weight loss. Achieving a balanced overall body composition relies heavily on maintaining hormone balance and maintaining an overall health lifestyle.

Low Energy, Fatigue

Whether your energy level has its ups and downs during the day or is constant, there are very specific issues with hormones that can result in low energy.

Sleep Problems

insomnia can severely affect your quality of life in many ways. While various life factors can impact sleep, the integration of bioidentical hormones presents a compelling and effective solution for significantly enhancing sleep patterns.

Mental Sharpness

Frustrated with misplacing your car keys or entering a room only to forget your purpose? The decline in mental sharpness doesn't have to be an inevitable part of aging. Maintaining optimal hormonal balance can profoundly enhance your concentration, memory, and overall productivity, allowing you to be more effective in your daily life.

Skin and Hair

Hormonal imbalances, as well as nutritional deficiencies, inadequate sleep, and lifestyle choices, can contribute to premature aging. And this can manifest in thinner, more wrinkled, and sagging skin as well as hair loss.

Lower Sex Drive

Loss of interest and/or enjoyment in sex can be an unwanted condition that can come with age. Hormone replacement can often reverse this and restore the passion.

Skilled Practitioners

Our expert Doctors, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners are highly educated and experienced.

Tailored to You

Your treatment is always customized to each individual based on their lab results, symptoms and history.

Affordable

We have worked hard to be able to offer our patients very affordable fees and efficient testing and treatment.

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Overview

There are hundreds of clinics attempting to treat hormone imbalance. What makes us different? We use only bioidentical hormone replacement therapy so you can get the benefits with no drug-related side effects.
 
We create personalized monthly hormone injections. They’re easy to administer, no mess, no fuss, and no issue remembering to take pills or put on creams.
 
We listen to you and understand your symptoms and goals. Then, we get your lab work done to ensure we can see exactly what’s happening. We tailor your treatment exactly to you.
 
Our model makes it possible for us to start your treatment on day one. Faster Treatment = Feel Better Faster!
 
Options: Most of our patients prefer the injections because they can be changed and perfected each month based on your labs and symptoms. However, some patients travel too much or don’t like injections, in which case we also offer oral prescriptions or time-released pellets (hormone pellets). We do offer it all.

Common Symptoms

Depending on the severity of deficiency and balance of the various hormones, symptoms can vary greatly. Here are some of the most common.

What’s incredible is how easily this can be addressed and unwanted symptoms relieved!

What They Say

I have switched over from hormone pellets every 3 months to the monthly injections at Hormones by Design. And I have been so pleased with the customer service and the virtual medical appointments with Madison. I feel heard and appreciated here and it is obvious that they have my wellness in mind with each interaction. I highly recommend their services.

Kelley M. Patient

Hormones by Design has hands down changed my life for the better. They have identified health issues that my primary care did not and I am now on the road to better health. I am feeling more and more balanced every day.

Rebecca J. Patient

Just after the first visit the difference in my energy level was amazing . I'm retired and I found myself sitting on the couch and taking a nap during the day. After my first doctor visit and shot I redid the whole front flower bed of my house in 2 days which is something I couldn't have done even close to a month ago. The results were amazing I feel like my old self again.

About Us

Costs and Insurance

We have founded our practice on affordable pricing for exceptional health care.

We have very affordable cash rates for our lab testing… you’ll be pleasantly surprised!  However, established patients can use insurance for their labs. We can’t verify lab benefits for patients, so we recommend that you know your lab benefits before your lab draw.

We’re designed as a cash-based practice, but our Billing Manager can provide you with a Superbill to file your insurance claim. However, Medicare does not allow this, so we can’t Medicare patients with a Superbill.
