Is hormone replacement therapy right for me?

The Alpha Advantage team determines if you’re a candidate for hormone replacement therapy after discussing your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. They complete a physical exam and order blood tests to assess your hormone levels. 

What should I expect during hormone replacement therapy?

Numerous forms of hormone therapy exist, including gels, creams, hormone pellets, injections, patches, and vaginal applications for women. Some insurance plans cover hormone therapy but check with your provider to be sure. Alpha Advantage also offers affordable concierge medicine options for patients who pay cash. 

Follow up with your Alpha Advantage specialist periodically for hormone refill prescriptions or subdermal pellet replacement.

They might replace your pellets every few months to optimize hormone balance or recommend weekly injections. It’s also important to maintain a healthy weight, eat nutritious foods, exercise often, get plenty of sleep, and minimize stress.
