Certain women should not undergo hormone replacement therapy of any type until detailed studies on safety have been performed. You are not considered for bioidentical therapy if you have a personal history of breast cancer or stroke, or if you have a blood clot.

Yes. There are countless studies that have shown not only the safety of hormone therapy, but also the long-term health benefits. This assumes that treatment is done properly, and monitored on a regular basis. Again, the only way we do things is safely, and correctly.

You should always discuss any side effects or unusual changes with your team doctor. Your medical team is available to you any time. Simply contact your medical team leader and set up an appointment to speak to them directly about what's going on?

Thrivelab offers a no-risk $45 consult with a board-certified provider to discuss the results of your self-assessment as well as present and discuss a proposed treatment plan based on your symptoms. In some cases, due to current or previous health conditions and medications, the Thrivelab program will not be safe or effective for you. This will be determined by completing the self-assessment. If you have already scheduled and paid for your $45 consult, the fee will be refunded, no questions asked. However, if you have booked the consult, paid, and met with a Thrivelab provider, there is no refund if you decide not to pursue treatment with Thrivelab.

It is not unusual for patients to report feeling improvements in many symptoms within the first week or two. However, our goal is long-term symptom relief and improved quality of life for each patient.  This requires a cautious, evidence-based, and patient centered treatment strategy with a primary focus on patient input. Most patients stabilize within the first couple of months, but our personalized approach enables adjustment any time.
