Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormones influence so much more than we often realize—how we feel in our bodies, how we sleep, even how we connect with others. When they’re out of balance, it can feel like something just isn’t right.
At Blue Zone Health and Wellness, we take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to hormone care.
Whether you're navigating female menopausal symptoms, male andropause, or other hormonal shifts, you deserve to feel at ease in your body again.
Supporting Men and Women Through Hormonal Change
For Men: Aging with Andropause and Hypogonadism
As men age, it's common for testosterone levels to gradually decline after the age of 30. However, the effects can feel anything but gradual. You might notice that your strength isn't what it used to be, your energy dips more often, or your drive, both physically and mentally, feels different. Sleep can become lighter or more broken, and focus and concentration may take a little more effort.
These changes are often linked to what's known as andropause or, more accurately, late-onset hypogonadism. This condition occurs when the body doesn't produce enough testosterone, leading to a range of symptoms that can impact your quality of life.
Many men silently navigate these shifts, unsure if what they're experiencing is "normal", anxiety/depression, or just part of aging. It's important to recognize that these symptoms are real and that you're not alone. Understanding the underlying causes can be the first step toward finding effective solutions and regaining control over your well-being.
For Women: Hormone Support Through Every Phase
Hormonal changes are a natural part of every woman’s life, but that doesn’t mean they’re simple or on a predictable timeline. From your very first period to the postpartum phase, through the transitions of perimenopause and menopause, and even into the years beyond, your hormones are in constant communication with every system in your body.
But when hormonal balance is disrupted, the effects can ripple through your entire day. You might find yourself riding the waves of mood swings, struggling to summon your usual energy, tossing and turning at night, or losing your usual mental clarity, i.e., brain fog. Cycles may become irregular, your skin may change, and sometimes, you just feel like something is off, even if you can’t quite put your finger on it.
These shifts can be subtle or intense, fleeting or long-lasting, and every woman experiences them differently. What’s most important is recognizing that your symptoms are valid. You don’t have to brush them off or tough them out. Understanding what’s happening inside your body is the first step toward feeling like yourself again - more aligned, more aware, and more empowered to take control of your hormonal health.
Recognize the Signs
Hormonal imbalance can show up in different ways for different people. You might notice:
Low energy or persistent fatigue
Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
Mood swings, anxiety, or feeling more irritable
Changes in libido or sexual function
Unexplained weight gain or muscle loss
Mental fog or memory lapses
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and there’s a path forward.
How we help
We start by listening—really listening—to what’s been going on.
From there, we offer:
In-depth lab testing to understand what’s happening on a hormonal level
Customized treatment options that may include bioidentical hormone therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle shifts
Ongoing check-ins to make sure you’re feeling supported and cared for throughout your journey
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. It’s a conversation, a collaboration, and a commitment to helping you feel more like yourself again.
Our Approach Isn’t for Everyone
Hormone therapy and lifestyle medicine work—but only if you’re ready to commit.
This kind of care isn’t about quick fixes or passive treatments. It’s a partnership that requires consistency, honesty, and a willingness to do the work between appointments. We’ll guide you every step of the way, but your results depend on your engagement.
If you’re looking for a one-size-fits-all plan or a shortcut, this likely isn’t the right fit.
But if you’re ready to take an active role in your health, stay curious, and make real changes, you’ll notice what I like to call “the shift”.
This is a long-term investment in your health and well-being, and we do not take that lightly.
We’re here when you’re ready.
HRT Pricing
HRT Membership Pricing
Initial Evaluation - $250
Note: All HRT memberships are structured as annual programs because meaningful results take time. Monthly payments are offered, if preferred.
As hormones become well-balanced and ongoing care requires less hands-on management, HRT plans decrease in price. This reflects the reduced amount of time and workload, while ensuring full access to the program.
Year 1 - $1000/year (paid up front) OR $95/month
Year 2 - $950/year (paid up front) OR $90/month
Year 3 - $900/year (paid up front) OR $85/month
Year 4 - $850/year (paid up front) OR $80/month
Year 5 - $800/year (paid up front) OR $75/month
During my pre-launch, I learned that each patient’s needs are different. Some may need full labs, others may not if they recently completed bloodwork with their PCP, and the needs for treatment also vary. Instead of bundling everything into an “all-inclusive” price (and keeping the difference), I’ve chosen a transparent approach: medications and lab costs are invoiced separately. You’ll always know your upfront costs.
A typical set of initial labs runs about $175, and follow-up labs are typically less, depending on what needs to be re-checked. Follow-up labs for a typical patient will be drawn about every 3 months, give or take. Keep in mind, the frequency of lab draws is individual to each patient, and the 3-month estimate is based on a patient with all normal lab results.
The pros of all-inclusive pricing:
It’s easy and predictable for the patient.
The cons of all-inclusive pricing:
It’s more expensive for the patient.
I’ve chosen to be patient-friendly and transparent. This way - you know what you pay for.
Getting Started with Hormone Therapy
Begin with Your Initial Consultation (or Optional Pre-Lab Pathway)
Before starting hormone therapy or enrolling in a membership, every new patient must begin with a comprehensive intake, but how we begin that process can vary slightly depending on your preference.
Option 1: Preferred Approach - Initial Consultation visit BEFORE AND AFTER labs
To chose this option, book an appointment online using the option: Initial Consultation
Most patients begin with a 1-on-1 consultation where I take time to understand your full story:
Medical history
Current symptoms and concerns
Medications, supplements, and past treatments
Health goals and expectations
From there, I’ll recommend lab work based on your specific needs. This avoids unnecessary or duplicate testing that may have already been done with your PCP, and ensures a focused, personalized care plan.
Once labs are reviewed, we’ll meet again to discuss your results and whether HRT makes sense for you.
Option 2: Lab Work First - Initial Consultation visit AFTER labs
To chose this option, book an appointment online using the option: Post Lab Consultation
If you want labs drawn before we meet, you may request a pre-consultation lab order, as long as the following are completed.
-Submit your Initial Intake Form (record your medical history, medications, supplements, and current symptoms)
-Make full upfront payment, which includes: Lab panel cost, post-lab consultation and review, assessment, and development of your recommended treatment plan.
FAQs
-
Blue Zone Health and Wellness does not accept insurance. The model is built to simplify healthcare by removing the red tape of insurance billing, so we can focus on what matters most, you.
Instead, I offer a straightforward monthly or annual payment plan.
You’re still free to use your insurance for things like specialist visits, hospital care, or regular prescriptions, but everything provided through your Blue Zone Health and Wellness membership is exclusively covered by your membership fee.
-
Yes, I recommend carrying at least a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) alongside your Blue Zone Health and Wellness membership. While your membership covers our wellness services, an HDHP helps protect you in case of emergencies, hospital visits, or specialist care.
It’s important to note that your membership with Blue Zone Health and Wellness is not health insurance.
-
Yes, I accept HSA and FSA cards for eligible services. However, coverage is not guaranteed, as benefits/eligible services vary by plan. It is your responsibility to check with your HSA/FSA provider or plan administrator to confirm your specific coverage before your visit.
-
Unfortunately, no. Federal insurance regulations prohibit me from accepting cash payments from patients who are enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid. If you are covered by either of these programs, I am not legally allowed to process your payments outside of insurance.
If you are not certain whether you are currently covered by Medicare or Medicaid, please let us know before scheduling or submitting payment for labs so we can help confirm your status.
