Hormone health
Hormone replacement therapy
Hormones decline with age, illness, and other factors. HRT replenishes them, with bioidentical or FDA-approved synthetic options, after lab work tells us exactly what's low.

What it treats
When the symptoms have a hormonal cause.
HRT is one option among several. Your first visit is a conversation and a blood draw, not a prescription.
- Menopause and perimenopause symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness
- Andropause, or low testosterone: fatigue, reduced libido, muscle loss
- Thyroid disorders affecting metabolism and energy
- Adrenal fatigue or stress-related hormonal issues
- Age-related declines in bone health, cognitive function, and sexual wellness
- For both men and women
How it works
Labs first. Then a plan you can live with.
Consultation and labs
We talk through your symptoms and history, then test your hormone levels: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid.
Your plan
Based on the results, a plan using bioidentical or FDA-approved synthetic hormones, delivered as creams, patches, pills, or injections, whatever fits your life.
Follow-up and adjustment
Regular monitoring so the dose stays right as your body responds. Adjustments are part of the plan, not a failure of it.
Before you come
A few things worth knowing.
Your first visit includes lab work
We won't guess at what's low. Expect a blood draw at your first consultation.
Bioidentical or synthetic, your choice
Both bioidentical and FDA-approved synthetic hormones are available. We'll walk through the tradeoffs with you.
Delivery depends on you
Creams, patches, pills, or injections. The right one is the one you'll actually use.
Follow-ups are part of the plan
Hormone therapy is monitored, not set and forgotten. Plan on regular check-ins. Coverage varies by plan, so bring your insurance card to the consultation and we'll check what yours covers; self-pay pricing is set at that visit.
Who you'll see
Care from the family providers you already know.
Every service here is handled by our family nurse practitioners, with supervising physicians behind the team. It all happens in Branson, not through a referral, unless you need one.
