HORMONES MATTER FOR MEN & WOMEN...

 

Who should consider hormone evaluation?

In general, many men and women will experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance at some point in their lives.

Symptoms associated with the decline of our hormones can start as early as the mid-twenties. A simple blood test can indicate if you will benefit from hormone replacement.

 

If you are experiencing concerning symptoms, you can come in to see Dr. Beckenhauer or Melanie. After the evaluation, we will order DPC priced (AFFORDABLE) lab tests to determine the best plan of care for you. 

​

What options do I have for weight loss?

If you are struggling with weight gain from your hormone imbalance, we can help decide if weight loss medications are right for you, and which ones. To best assess why you are not losing weight, we need to look at the "whole" picture, and will suggest certain labs to be drawn. The best part of the hormone evaluation at The Healthy Human is the amount of cost savings on labs alone. It's hard to beat our prices!

What hormones are tested and what is the cost?

We will determine your hormonal testing based on your symptoms and medical history. Examples of hormones that may be tested, but not limited to, are estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and more. Additional testing may be needed for evaluation of nutritional and other hormonal deficiencies. The Healthy Human has contracted with licensed medical laboratories, reducing the cost for these tests. The costs for hormone panels for women range anywhere from $600-$1000 in your traditional primary care office or at given hospital locations. It is important to note, that an average visit at HH DPC a patient will spend $180 for a complete laboratory panel at their initial consult. 

​

Will I require a prescription?

Yes, just like when you see your Family Practitioner or Ob/Gyn for your other medications, you will also need to see us for first time starts and refills on your hormone replacement for estrogen, progesterone, etc. 

​

How often am I required to have a periodic follow-up visit?

Periodic follow-up visits and blood tests are required to evaluate your response to treatment, evaluation of symptoms and adjustment to the hormone(s) prescription if necessary. The frequency of the follow-up visits can be every 2 weeks to monthly to quarterly, this is a decision based upon what is best for you as the patient and your individual healthcare needs to work towards a healthier you!

INTEGRATIVE HEALTH/WELLNESS COACHING

​

What is Integrative Medicine? As defined by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), integrative medicine brings together mainstream medical approaches with complementary approaches not considered part of conventional medical care. 

​

Integrative medicine can incorporate:

• Food-based/Nutritional approach to help manage/treat chronic medical conditions, and also for prevention

• Biomedical practices such as vitamins, minerals or other natural products

• Mind-body therapies such as yoga or acupuncture

• Manipulative and body-based practices such as osteopathic manipulation or massage therapy

• Movement therapies and exercise, such as pilates or high-intensity interval training

​

At HH DPC, our focus is on nutrition and biomedical therapies, as well the root causes of disease and wellness. As an Osteopath, this is the foundation of our medical education: treat the whole person (mind, body, and spirit). The body is capable of self-healing and self-regulation, as well as health maintenance.

ALLERGY CONSULTATION--SubLingual ImmunoTherapy (SLIT)

​

In the Midwest, it is very common to see patients that are experiencing inhalant/environmental allergies such as hay fever or allergies to things like dust mites, pollens, pet dander and molds. 

​

Sublingual immunotherapy, often called allergy drops, works like allergy shots by gradually helping your body build tolerance to the antigens or substance(s) that cause your allergies. The difference is that the antigen is placed under your tongue in a pain-free, customized liquid drop.

​

Allergy drops are a safe, convenient way to treat the cause of your allergies — not just symptoms. Treatment typically takes 2-5 years, but can vary based on allergy type and patient adherence.

​

Allergy Drop Advantage:

Lower cost, fewer clinic visits.

Compared to shots and many medications, allergy drops typically cost less over time. Most patients using allergy drops only need a few clinic visits the first year, and then once every 6-12 months until treatment is completed. Fewer medical appointments can also mean less time away from work or school.

​

Less medication.

Our patients report, and research confirms, that they typically need less medication to control their allergy symptoms after beginning allergy drops.

​

Convenience of home therapy, increased therapy compliance.
