“I feel very comfortable with my decision to use BioDesign as my HRT.”
Questions women ask before starting HRT
Most women who book have already read about hormone therapy. These are the four questions that come up most on a first call.
Safety
Is hormone therapy safe?
It depends on you. Your health history, age, symptoms, labs, risk factors and the type of therapy all matter, and the risks and the alternatives are covered face to face before anything starts.
Who it's for
How do I know if I'm a candidate?
You don't have to know before you book. Hot flashes, poor sleep, brain fog and mood changes can overlap with thyroid, metabolic and stress factors, so your symptoms and your labs are looked at side by side.
How long
How long would I stay on it?
Nobody can tell you that on day one. That's why follow-up labs and check-ins are part of your plan from the start.
Told no before
What if another doctor told me no?
Bring that history with you. Your provider will want to know the reason and weigh it against your labs and risk factors. Some reasons do rule hormone therapy out, and then the conversation turns to non-hormonal options.
Your options, laid out
Estrogen and progesterone changes can show up in sleep, mood, skin, joints and focus. Hormone therapy for women covers more than one hormone, and each one is explained with its risks before you decide anything.
Estrogen
The hormone most women mean when they say HRT. It's weighed against your age, health history and risk factors.
Progesterone
Often considered alongside estrogen, and its role is explained at your results visit.
Testosterone
Measured on your panel as total and free testosterone, and part of the same conversation.
Non-hormonal options
For women who can't or would rather not take hormones: lifestyle changes and other prescription options.
How monitoring works
Every plan is monitored by a licensed clinician, with follow-up labs at the same clinic.
Labs at the clinic
One blood draw at the Lake Mary or Orlando clinic for 70+ biomarkers.
