Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) & Testosterone Therapy (TRT)
Evidence-Based Hormone Therapy from Your Thrive Primary Care Team
Whole-Person Hormone Care
Achieve Lasting Results with Our Integrated Hormone Replacement Approach
If you’re experiencing hot flashes, night sweats, low energy, brain fog, mood changes, sleep disturbances, decreased libido, or other symptoms related to changing hormone levels, you don’t have to simply “live with it.”
At Thrive Primary Care, we provide personalized Hormone Replacement therapy (HRT) for women and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men using an evidence-based approach that prioritizes both symptom relief and long-term health. Our goal is to restore hormonal balance while helping you improve your overall well-being, energy, and quality of life.
Unlike many hormone clinics that rely on one-size-fits-all protocols, our providers take the time to understand your symptoms, review your medical history, evaluate laboratory testing when appropriate, and develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Through our Whole-Person Hormone Care approach, we address the underlying factors that may be contributing to hormone imbalance, creating a personalized plan designed to support lasting results rather than temporary symptom relief.

Hormone Replacement Therapy
Frequently Asked Questions
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT, BHRT, and TRT) replaces hormones that naturally decline with age or following certain medical conditions.
For many women, hormone therapy can significantly improve quality of life by reducing menopausal symptoms and helping restore normal daily functioning.
When prescribed appropriately, hormone therapy may help improve:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Sleep quality
- Mood changes
- Brain fog
- Vaginal dryness
- Pain during intercourse
- Low energy
- Joint discomfort
- Sexual health
- Overall quality of life
Every patient’s situation is different. Not everyone experiencing menopause needs hormone therapy, and not everyone is an appropriate candidate. Our providers carefully review the potential benefits and risks before recommending treatment.
Menopause and perimenopause affect every woman differently.
Some women experience only mild symptoms, while others find that hormonal changes significantly impact their sleep, work, relationships, exercise, and overall well-being.
When medically appropriate, Thrive offers hormone replacement therapy using FDA-approved medications, including bioidentical hormones.
Our treatment options may include:
- Oral estrogen
- Transdermal estrogen patches
- Estrogen gels
- Estrogen creams
- Oral progesterone
- Vaginal estrogen therapy for localized symptoms
Treatment recommendations are individualized based on factors including:
- Your symptoms
- Age
- Whether you still have your uterus
- Medical history
- Family history
- Cardiovascular risk
- Personal preferences
Yes.
At Thrive, we primarily prescribe FDA-approved bioidentical hormone medications when appropriate. These medications contain hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body while also meeting FDA standards for manufacturing, dosing consistency, quality, and safety.
Testosterone therapy is not appropriate for every woman.
When medically indicated, testosterone may be considered after a comprehensive evaluation and discussion of the potential benefits, risks, and current evidence.
Because testosterone has a more limited role in women’s hormone therapy than estrogen and progesterone, it is prescribed selectively and only when medically appropriate.
If you are transferring your care from another provider and are currently taking testosterone, your Thrive provider may recommend:
– Continuing treatment when appropriate
– Reducing your dose
– Gradually tapering the medication
– Transitioning to an alternative treatment plan
Our recommendations are based on current evidence, your symptoms, laboratory findings, and your overall health goals.
Our philosophy is to provide hormone therapy that is supported by current clinical evidence.
We Offer:
– FDA-approved bioidentical hormone therapy
– Oral hormone therapy
– Transdermal hormone therapy (patches, gels, creams)
– Injectable testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men when medically appropriate
– Personalized treatment plans
– Ongoing monitoring and follow-up
We Do Not Routinely Offer
– Hormone pellets
– Routine compounded hormone therapy
– High-dose hormone protocols
– One-size-fits-all hormone treatment plans
We also rarely prescribe compounded sublingual troches because FDA-approved oral and transdermal formulations generally provide more consistent dosing and have stronger evidence supporting their use.
Yes. Low testosterone in men can affect energy, mood, libido, muscle mass, strength, concentration, and overall quality of life.
However, not every man with fatigue or low energy has low testosterone.
At Thrive, testosterone replacement therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Our assessment may include:
– Medical history
– Physical examination
– Laboratory testing
– Review of medications
– Evaluation for other medical conditions that may contribute to symptoms
When medically appropriate, we prescribe injectable testosterone and provide ongoing monitoring to help ensure treatment remains safe and effective.
Many FDA-approved hormone therapies prescribed today are bioidentical. The important distinction is whether a medication has been evaluated for quality, consistency, and safety. Your provider will help determine the best option for your individual situation.
Yes. If you’re already receiving hormone therapy elsewhere, we can review your current treatment plan and determine whether changes are appropriate based on current evidence and your health needs. To get started, establish care with our primary care team.
Laboratory testing may be recommended depending on your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. However, treatment decisions are based on the complete clinical picture, not laboratory values alone.
Hormone therapy is provided by our primary care team and billed to insurance when possible. Your office visit may be covered by insurance depending on your plan. Medication coverage varies by insurance carrier and individual prescription benefits.
