How It Works

The Diagnostic Process

Initial Consultation

We review your health history, current concerns, and goals to understand what's driving your symptoms.

Comprehensive Hormone Testing

Lab testing is a required part of every BHRT journey. It's how we confirm what's actually happening in your body before recommending treatment.

Personalized Protocol

Based on your results, we build a treatment plan and delivery method suited to your goals, whether that's pills, creams, patches, pellets, or injections.

Ongoing Monitoring

We track your progress with follow-up testing and adjust your protocol as needed.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your protocol is built around your labs, symptoms, and preferences.

The Timeline

What to Expect: Your First 90 Days

Many patients begin with a 3-month initial trial of hormone therapy. Below is a general timeline of changes some patients may notice:

Patient progress over the first 90 days of hormone therapy

First 30 Days

Improved focus and concentration, along with a more uplifted mood, improved stamina and sleep.

60 Days

Decreased body fat, more energy, changes in sexual satisfaction, and early muscle-building progress.

90 Days

Consistent improvement in daily function and an overall sense of well-being that continues for the duration of therapy.

Individual results vary, and your nurse practitioner will track your progress with follow-up testing along the way.

Many patients choose to continue hormone therapy beyond the initial 90 days to help support long term wellness, including bone strength, cholesterol and glucose balance, brain and heart health, muscle mass, and cognitive function.

Good Questions, Straight Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?+

BHRT restores hormonal balance using hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. It's designed to relieve symptoms caused by hormonal imbalance or decline, with a plan personalized to your labs and goals.

Isn't aging natural? Why would I replace my hormones?+

Aging is natural, but the symptoms that come with hormonal decline, like fatigue, mood changes, low libido, and memory issues, don't have to be something you simply live with. BHRT is about addressing those effects, not reversing aging.

What conditions can BHRT address?+

Menopause and perimenopause symptoms
Andropause (low testosterone in men)
Thyroid imbalances
Osteoporosis
Low libido
Chronic fatigue

How is BHRT different from traditional hormone therapy?+

Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces, which may improve compatibility and reduce side effects compared to synthetic hormones. As with any hormone therapy, comprehensive testing and regular monitoring are essential.

Is BHRT safe?+

When prescribed and monitored by a qualified provider, BHRT is considered safe and effective. We conduct comprehensive testing and regular hormone monitoring throughout your treatment and discuss any individual risks during your consultation.

How are treatments administered?+

Pills, creams or gels, patches, pellets, and injections are all available. Your plan is built around your preferences and lifestyle.

How long until I see results?+

Many patients notice initial changes within a few weeks, with full benefits typically apparent within three to six months.

Do I need my hormone levels tested?+

Yes. Hormone testing is a required part of every BHRT plan. It's how we personalize your treatment and confirm it's working safely.

Who is a candidate for BHRT?+

If you're experiencing fatigue, weight gain, low libido, or mood swings tied to hormonal imbalance, you may be a candidate. A consultation is the best way to find out.

Is BHRT covered by insurance?+

Vallee Health Repair does not accept insurance. We can provide documentation for HSA/FSA use or for you to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
