Medical, Lab-Driven Hormone Optimization for Men & Women
Hormones play a central role in how you feel, function, and age. When they fall out of balance, symptoms can affect energy, mood, metabolism, focus, sleep, and overall quality of life.
At Body Balance Health & Aesthetic Medicine, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is approached as a medical process — not a subscription and not guesswork. Every patient begins with a provider consultation and comprehensive lab and medical history evaluation to determine whether hormone optimization is clinically appropriate.
A Medical-First Approach to Hormone Optimization
Hormone therapy should never start with assumptions.
At our clinic, treatment begins with:
A one-on-one medical consultation with a licensed provider
Provider-ordered comprehensive laboratory testing, sent to local labs (often covered by health insurance)
A personalized review of lab results, symptoms, and medical history
A treatment plan created only if therapy is clinically indicated
This ensures hormone replacement is safe, individualized, and appropriate for each patient.
Hormone Optimization for Women
Hormonal shifts related to perimenopause, menopause, and other conditions can affect women in many ways, including:
- Depression or anxiety
- Mood swings
- Excess body hair
- Decreased libido
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Insomnia
- Difficulty managing weight
- Brain fog
- Chronic fatigue
- Hair loss
- lrregular bowel movements
- Vaginal dryness
- Achy Joints
- Muscle loss
We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy tailored to each woman’s physiology, symptoms, and lab results. As with men, treatment begins with a medical consult and lab evaluation to ensure safety and individualized care.
Testosterone Optimization for men
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, but symptoms can vary widely from person to person. Men often seek evaluation for concerns such as:
Low energy or persistent fatigue
Reduced motivation or mental clarity
Decreased libido
Difficulty maintaining muscle mass or recovery
Changes in mood or overall vitality
At Body Balance, testosterone optimization is never “one-size-fits-all.” If labs confirm low or suboptimal testosterone and treatment is appropriate, we focus on long-acting, consistent hormone delivery rather than short-term fixes.
Testosterone Pellet Therapy
For Men and Women Who Qualify
For eligible patients, we offer testosterone pellet therapy, a long-acting option designed to provide steady hormone levels for up to 6 months for men and up to 4 months for women.
Benefits of pellet therapy may include:
Consistent hormone delivery without daily or weekly dosing
Fewer clinic visits compared to injections or topical therapies
Reduced hormone fluctuations
Long-term convenience and adherence
Pellet therapy is performed in-clinic by a trained medical provider and is only offered after labs and consultation confirm suitability.
* Testosterone pellets and insertion are paid out of pocket.
* Treatment is offered only when clinically appropriate.

Frequently Asked questions
How long do testosterone pellets last?
Testosterone pellets are designed to deliver a steady dose of hormone over an extended period. For most men, pellets last up to 5–6 months, and 3-4 months for women depending on individual metabolism, activity level, and dosage requirements.
Pellet therapy provides consistent hormone delivery without the peaks and troughs often seen with weekly injections or daily topical treatments. Timing for repeat therapy is determined based on symptom response and follow-up evaluation.
Are labs required before starting hormone therapy?
Yes. Laboratory testing is required before any hormone therapy is initiated.
At Body Balance Health & Aesthetic Medicine, hormone treatment is only considered after:
A medical consultation with a licensed provider, and
Provider-ordered laboratory testing to assess hormone levels and overall health markers.
This ensures hormone therapy is clinically appropriate, safe, and tailored to each patient’s physiology. Hormone treatment is never started without objective lab data.
Is hormone replacement covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan.
- Hormone consultations are covered through accepted insurance. Or can be paid through HSA/FSA and out of pocket.
Laboratory testing/prescriptions ordered by your provider and sent to local labs/pharmacies are often covered by health insurance, depending on your individual plan.
Testosterone pellets, and pellet insertion procedures are typically not covered by insurance and are paid out of pocket.
Our team is happy to review this during your consultation so you have clear expectations before moving forward.
How often are follow-ups needed?
Follow-up frequency depends on the individual and the treatment plan.
After initiating hormone therapy, follow-ups are scheduled to review symptoms, monitor response, and ensure treatment remains appropriate.
For men receiving testosterone pellet therapy, follow-ups typically occur around the time pellets begin to wear off, or sooner if clinically indicated.
Ongoing monitoring helps ensure hormone levels remain within a safe and effective range and allows adjustments when necessary.
How often are labs repeated?
Laboratory testing is repeated as clinically indicated to ensure hormone therapy remains safe and appropriate.
For most patients:
Labs are obtained before starting treatment to establish a baseline
Follow-up labs may be ordered after treatment initiation to assess response and hormone levels
Additional labs are typically repeated periodically or prior to repeat pellet insertion, depending on symptoms, treatment response, and medical history
The timing of repeat labs is determined by your provider and individualized to your health needs. Regular monitoring helps guide dosing decisions and supports long-term safety and effectiveness.
