When you’re struggling with low energy, weight changes, mood swings, or a general sense that something just isn’t right, the answer often lies beneath the surface—in your hormones. At True Rejuvenation, we know that a comprehensive hormone evaluation is the essential first step toward lasting wellness. Our approach is rooted in functional medicine, empathy, and a genuine partnership with every patient.
Why Start with a Complete Hormone Evaluation?
Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, impacting nearly every aspect of your health: sleep, metabolism, mood, libido, immunity, and more. Subtle imbalances can cause symptoms that are often dismissed or misdiagnosed in traditional healthcare. At True Rejuvenation, we go beyond the basics to find the root cause—not just treat the symptoms.
The Pitfalls of Standard Testing
Most conventional clinics only test a limited panel (often just TSH for thyroid and basic sex hormones)
Many providers spend 10–15 minutes per visit, missing the bigger picture
Patients are often left with more questions than answers
Our Philosophy
Every patient is unique—your care should be too
We believe in education, transparency, and empowering you to make informed decisions
Your story, symptoms, and experiences matter just as much as your lab results
What Does the Evaluation Cover?
1. Comprehensive Lab Testing
Our process starts with the most thorough lab work in the region. We assess:
Thyroid function: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies—giving a complete picture, not just a snapshot
Basic Labs: blood counts, metabolic panels, lipid panels, and a look into risk factors for many chronic illnesses
Sex hormones: Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, LH, FSH—essential for both men and women
Adrenal health: Cortisol (multiple times per day if needed), DHEA-S, to assess stress and resilience
Metabolic health: Fasting insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c, lipid panels (cholesterol, triglycerides)
Micronutrient status: Vitamin D, B12, ferritin, magnesium, and more
Inflammatory markers: CRP, homocysteine, ESR
Specialty labs as needed: Gut health, food sensitivities, nutrient absorption, genetic markers
Why This Matters
Most symptoms—fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, anxiety, hair loss—are multi-factorial. Only a complete lab workup can reveal the full picture and guide a personalized plan.
2. In-Depth Medical History & Symptom Review
We take the time to truly understand you:
Detailed intake forms: Before your visit, you’ll complete a comprehensive questionnaire covering symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals
One-on-one conversation: During your visit, we discuss your story, stressors, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and more. We preform an InBody test on you for an acccurate body composition analysis. You will spend time with both our RN and a nurse practitioner so that we may understand ALL of your concerns.
Review of previous treatments: What’s worked, what hasn’t, and why
Personal goals: Whether you want to lose weight, regain energy, improve mood, or optimize longevity, we tailor the evaluation to you
The Patient Experience
It is not uncommon for us to be the 5th, 6th, or 7th provider that a patient has seen for their concerns. Patients often arrive with little hope left after feeling unheard and incorrectly diagnosed. Many patients tell us it’s the first time they’ve felt truly heard by a healthcare provider. We see you as a partner, not just a patient.
3. Personalized Consultation (45–60 Minutes)
Unlike rushed appointments elsewhere, we dedicate 45 minutes to an hour for every new patient. This time is yours to:
Ask questions and get clear answers
Understand your lab results in detail
Explore treatment options without pressure
Set realistic, actionable goals for your health journey
What Makes This Unique
We never rush you through your visit
Education is a priority: you’ll leave with a clear plan and resources
Our provider draws on both clinical expertise and personal experience with hormone optimization
What Happens Next?
1. Your Customized Treatment Plan
After your evaluation, we build a plan based on your unique biochemistry and goals. This may include:
Bioidentical hormone therapy: Precisely tailored to your needs
Peptide therapy: For cellular repair, metabolism, or sexual health
Thyroid support: Comprehensive management of all thyroid disorders
Medical weight loss: Evidence-based protocols for sustainable results

Management and REVERSAL of chronic illness.
The Science Behind Our Protocols
All treatments use pharmaceutical-grade, evidence-based therapies
We take a functional medicine approach not just labeling your problems with diagnoses, but also asking the question: "Why is this happening?" This allows us to treat the root cause of your problems and completely reverse them.
We prioritize safety, efficacy, and long-term wellness
2. Ongoing Support & Follow-Up
Your journey doesn’t end after your first visit. We provide:
Regular follow-up appointments: To track progress, adjust protocols, and answer new questions
Continuous lab monitoring: Ensuring your treatment remains optimal as your body changes
Direct access to our team: For support, education, and encouragement whenever you need it
Primary Care Support, When Needed: At TRUE Rejuvenation, our primary focus is providing comprehensive, patient-centered care using an evidence-informed functional medicine approach. In some cases, patients may encounter challenges when integrating this type of care alongside traditional medical models. Functional medicine is an evolving field, and not all providers are familiar with its principles or the growing body of research that supports it.
Occasionally, patients report difficulty continuing care with outside providers after seeking additional support for concerns that were not previously addressed. While this can be frustrating, it is important to remember that your pursuit of better health and answers should never work against you.
At TRUE Rejuvenation, we believe patients deserve attentive, ongoing care. We monitor our patients closely, prioritize continuity, and remain committed to staying current with medical advancements to ensure the highest standard of care. If a patient is dismissed from their primary care practice and requires continued support, we are prepared to step in and provide appropriate primary care services when clinically indicated.
Your health journey should be guided by collaboration, education, and advocacy. We are honored to support you every step of the way.
Building a Lasting Partnership
Our patients appreciate knowing they’re never alone—True Rejuvenation is with you every step of the way.
3. Empowerment Through Education
We believe that knowledge is power. As a patient, you’ll receive:
Educational resources: Handouts, videos, blog posts like this one, lives through social media, in office education at every visit, take home instructions, and access to our HORMONIOUS podcast
Workshops and webinars: On topics like hormone health, nutrition, and longevity
Personalized coaching: To help you implement changes and stay on track
