Hormone imbalances can disrupt your daily life, causing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, anxiety, and even brain fog—all of which may affect your overall well-being. At Body Rejuvenation, we understand the role that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can play in restoring balance and vitality. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the HRT process and requirements at our clinic.
HRT Lab Requirements
Lab work is the foundation of a responsible and effective HRT plan. Measuring specific biomarkers helps us tailor treatments to your unique needs. Here’s what you need to know:
For Male Patients (Mandatory Tests):
- Testosterone & Free Testosterone: Monitor and optimize levels to address symptoms like low energy or reduced libido.
- PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen): Ensures prostate health during HRT.
- Estradiol: Measures levels of estradiol to ensure hormonal balance.
- CBC (Complete Blood Count): Monitors overall health indicators.
- Progesterone: Tracks levels commonly overlooked in male HRT.
For Female Patients (Mandatory Tests):
- Estradiol: Helps assess estrogen levels for overall balance.
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Critical for monitoring ovarian function.
- Progesterone: Evaluates levels related to menstrual health and mood.
- Testosterone (Free and Total): Addresses energy levels and vitality.
- CBC (Complete Blood Count): Tracks overall health and identifies potential issues.
Additionally, women will need a mammogram completed within the past year as part of the HRT requirements, which ensures safety as we work on optimizing hormone levels.
Optional Panels for Comprehensive Insights:
While not mandatory, we encourage additional lab work for a deeper understanding of your overall health:
- Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP): Offers insights into kidney and liver function.
- Lipid Panel: Monitors cholesterol levels.
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Tracks thyroid health, often interlinked with hormone imbalances.
- IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor): Evaluates aging-related hormonal shifts.
- DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): Reflects adrenal health.
Optional panels cost $350 for basic tests or $675 for advanced insights. Investing in these tests can give you a fuller picture of your health, guiding decisions for long-term well-being.
The HRT Patient Journey at Body Rejuvenation
Our process prioritizes clarity, care, and personalization to ensure you’re fully supported at every step.
1. Initial Blood Work
- If you’ve had relevant labs completed recently, we can use that data. If not, our hormone panel costs $165 for men and $215 for women. Optional lab panels are also available for purchase.
- At Body Rejuvenation, we encourage women to stay on top of their routine screenings, including mammograms, as part of a comprehensive approach to wellness. By prioritizing this essential requirement, you empower yourself with knowledge and take another step toward safeguarding your health and well-being.
2. Consultation with the Doctor
You’ll have the choice of a virtual or in-person consultation. During this step, our experienced doctors review your labs, medical history, and symptoms to determine if HRT is the right fit for you.
- Virtual Consultation: Prepayment required.
- In-Person Consultation: Payment can be made at the clinic.
If you qualify for HRT, the prescription is sent to Hallandale Pharmacy for fulfillment.
3. HRT Cost and Treatment Options
We offer multiple therapy options, depending on patient preferences and needs:
- Injectable HRT: $597 for a 3-month supply ($199/month).
- Pellets: $450 for women (4–5 months), $700 for men (6–7 months).
4. Follow-up and Monitoring
Regular consultations are important to monitor results and adjust your therapy if needed. However, additional visits are generally only required in cases of:
- Unresolved side effects.
- No noticeable improvements in symptoms.
- A plateau in progress after initial benefits.
Ongoing consultations aren’t complimentary, but fees can be applied toward future therapy costs.
