As a useful rule of thumb, it typically takes about 14 to 21 days to start noticing the effects of BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy). It’s important to keep in mind that immediate results should not be expected, as it takes time for your body to absorb the hormones into your bloodstream. Furthermore, it may take around two months before you start experiencing the full benefits of your therapy.

When BHRT is prescribed and monitored properly, it is considered safe.  Our medical providers will work closely with you to identify the best treatment plan for your situation, while also taking careful measures to minimize potential risks. This will be achieved by regularly monitoring your hormone levels and ordering additional diagnostic exams, if necessary.

Women 18 years and older who are experiencing signs and symptoms of PMS, Perimenopause, Menopause, Postmenopause, PCOS, and other Hormonal Deficiencies may participate in the program.

We do not recommend BHRT for those who have a history of:

• • Blood Clotting Disorders
  • Heart or Cardiovascular Disease
  • Breast Cancer
  • Stroke

Our BHRT program requires a 3-month commitment. Hormone optimization is not an overnight process. It takes commitment, nutritional, and dietary changes to reach optimal wellness. You will have the option to pay monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months, or for 12 months.

Your first visit is considered the “Deep Dive Session” where Dr. Beatty, CRNP will go over your lab results, line by line, so you have an in-depth understanding of how your overall health is affecting your hormone status. Soon after, you will get a chance to discuss treatment options, wellness optimization, supplement recommendations, and collaborate on a plan of care. By the end of your appointment, you will have a clear understanding of our comprehensive BHRT program, how it will affect you, and what to expect going forward. All of your questions will be answered thoroughly and you will be one step closer to feeling like the best version of yourself. This appointment lasts about an hour.

We do not accept insurance for hormone optimization services. This is because True Phoenix focuses on optimizing hormone levels instead of following “normal” ranges,  which dictates how insurance companies pay. We provide personalized packages that focus on your utmost well-being. You are welcome to use your insurance benefits for laboratory testing.

We offer several alternative payment methods, such as AfterPay, CareCredit, Cherry Payments, HSA/FSA, credit, and debit cards for our hormone optimization services.

Ideally, we like to draw all the labs at the same time. However, if you have recent labs within the last 60 days, we can use them and draw any additional tests, if needed.

Absolutely! Testosterone is commonly associated with men; however, women produce small amounts in their ovaries and adrenal glands as well. Those small amounts can be critical to your overall health and well-being and can effect your sex drive, fertility, and even the production of new red blood cells. It also affects your muscle mass and how you distribute fat. So, those small amounts play a large role in your life.

Birth control pills may dampen the effect of testosterone. Therefore, we recommend not continuing them. We do, however, recommend other forms of birth control, that will not interfere with treatment.

YES! Our providers specialize in PCOS management. They understand that there are many women who are living with PCOS and are unaware. Therefore, their main goal is to catch it, treat it, and reverse your symptoms to improve your quality of life. Learn more about our PCOS Management Program here.

You should make the best decision for yourself. If you would like to follow your doctor’s recommendations and medical advice regarding hormone therapy, we will create a discharge plan from our program so that you can be in compliance with their care. Remember, you must always be your biggest advocate.
