Feel Like Yourself Again.

Fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, poor sleep, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, irregular or heavy cycles, and low libido can all be connected to hormone imbalance. Many women are told these changes are simply part of aging, but common doesn't always mean normal. If you have symptoms and your provider is telling you your bloodwork is normal and you need to live with them, you should seek a second opinion. Often, simple hormone balancing can be life-changing and bloodwork does not always tell the entire story.

Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. When indicated, we replenish thyroid, progesterone and estrogen with bioidentical hormones as part of an individualized treatment plan. We do not utilize synthetic hormones as they can cause significant, unwanted side effects.

No. Hormonal imbalances can happen at any time, including perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy and postpartum, after a hysterectomy or tubal ligation, with synthetic birth control, or due to stress, thyroid health, nutrition, and sleep. Hormone imbalances can occur in young children as well. Often children are labeled as lazy or unengaged, when this is not true at all. We have treated children with hormone imbalance symptoms very successfully.

We start by listening to how you feel and reviewing your clinical symptoms, health history, and comprehensive laboratory findings. Because every woman's needs are different, we start with the lowest dose and personalize treatment from there. We do not utilize pellets at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center for multiple reasons, but the largest being that they cannot be titrated up or down. When treating with hormones, too much or too little matters! We partner with you until we get to your optimal treatment dosage. We only utilize bioidentical hormones, which come in many dosage forms (capsules, creams, sublingual tablets and more).

Yes. We work with you to gradually adjust treatment based on your symptoms and response until we find the hormone balance that is optimal for you.

Hotze Health & Wellness Center is committed to providing personalized, comprehensive alternative and integrative medical care that goes beyond conventional approaches. To maintain this high level of service and flexibility in our treatment plans, we operate as an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly.

Insurance Policy

We are not contracted with insurance companies, which includes:

• HMO or PPO plans
• Medicare

This means we do not accept insurance as payment for office visits or treatments. However, at the end of each visit you will receive an itemized invoice (superbill). Some of our patients have successfully submitted these invoices to their insurance companies for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We cannot guarantee your insurance company will reimburse for our services. We encourage you to check with your insurance company regarding their policy on out-of-network alternative, integrative and functional medicine care.

Hotze Health & Wellness Center does accept payment utilizing your FSA and HSA funds. In addition, we also accept Advance Care a third party company who provides medical funding, interest free for 15 months (interest free funding requires an application and specific requirements).
