Get answers to your hormone therapy questions

How does your hormone subscription work?
We highly recommend you talk to an Alpha Hormones medical provider before purchasing a hormone subscription and see whether it’s appropriate for you.
Do you need to see me in person if I do a telemedicine visit?
We do not require an in-person visit if you are not receiving any controlled substances (e.g., testosterone) from our clinic. For those needing a controlled substance prescription, we can conduct your initial consultation via telemedicine. We strongly recommend at least one annual in-person visit to our clinic to continue your telemedicine consultations.
How do I cancel my subscription?
If you’re not satisfied with your service, you can cancel your subscription by letting us know in writing. We require at least a 30 days notification for the cancellation to go into effect. If your monthly payment is due within the 30 days, you are financial responsible to pay for the last month of service before the cancellation goes into effect.
Can you prescribe generic medications to a local retail pharmacy?
If it is determined to be medically necessary, we have the capability to electronically transmit your prescription to a nearby retail pharmacy. However, it’s important to understand that the decision to prescribe ultimately rests with the medical provider and cannot be guaranteed.
What affiliated compounding pharmacy do you use?
We’re proud to partner with Strive Pharmacy and Belmar Pharmacy as our affiliated pharmacies, in line with LegitScript Standard Patient Services.
Do you have special financing for payment and billing ?
Yes, we partner with CareCredit Credit Card so you can get special financing and 0% interest to pay for your care at our clinic. Ask our staff more on how to apply and see whether you can pre-qualify for an account.
Do you accept FSA or HSA card?
Yes, we can use your FSA/HSA card for your consultations and subscription plans. If you need a medical necessity letter, we can also provide one to your organization to cover the cost of your services with Alpha Hormones.
What is hormone therapy, and how does it work?
Hormone therapy involves the use of hormones to restore balance in the body when natural hormone levels are low or imbalanced. It works by replenishing or adjusting specific hormones—such as estrogen, testosterone, or thyroid hormones—to alleviate symptoms, improve health, and enhance quality of life.
Who can benefit from hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy can benefit both men and women experiencing hormonal imbalances due to aging, menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders, or other health conditions. Our clinic assesses each patient individually to ensure they’re a suitable candidate for therapy.
What symptoms can hormone therapy help treat?
Hormone therapy can address a range of symptoms, including fatigue, mood swings, low libido, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, and other issues related to hormonal imbalance. Personalized treatment helps target the specific symptoms you’re experiencing.
Is hormone therapy safe?
When administered by qualified specialists and closely monitored, hormone therapy is safe for many patients. Our clinic uses evidence-based practices and the latest research to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatments.
What types of hormone therapy are offered at your clinic?
We offer a range of hormone therapies, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), thyroid hormone therapy, and testosterone replacement therapy. Each option is tailored to meet the unique needs of the patient.
Do I need a prescription for hormone therapy?
Yes, hormone therapy requires a prescription. Before starting treatment, our specialists conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the best approach for your needs and will prescribe and monitor your therapy accordingly.
How do I know if I have a hormone imbalance?
Common signs of a hormone imbalance include unexplained fatigue, mood changes, sleep disturbances, weight fluctuations, and decreased libido. Our clinic offers diagnostic testing and consultations to assess your hormone levels and identify imbalances.
What will happen if I stop TRT therapy?
While nothing adverse will happen if you cease therapy, you will be returning your testosterone levels to where they were before beginning treatment. Or they could drop even lower. This means your symptoms will return. However, if you do cease treatment, you can always resume it later to restore your levels back to where you’re feeling great.
Is peptide therapy safe?
Yes, it’s generally safe and well tolerated to use peptides on patients. In 1922, the first polypeptide hormone discovered, insulin, have saved a lot of lives. Peptides are recognized for being highly selective and efficacious cell signaling molecules. Just like any prescribed medication, you need to follow-up with your medical provider for monitoring.
Does peptide therapy work?
Yes, these peptides have been extensively studied, tested, and work to heal your body. Insulin was the first peptide hormone discovered in 1921 and has saved many lives. Some peptides are FDA approved and have been around for decades. Furthermore, most of them can be used as “off-label.” Physicians are generally permitted to prescribe a drug for an “off label” or “unapproved” use when they determine it is medically appropriate for the patient. This is legal, as the FDA does not have the legal authority to regulate the practice of medicine.
There are so many peptides. How do I know which one to use?
Our medical provider will recommend the best peptide(s) that will fit your needs. We have looked at numerous research studies and clinical trails, and we will guide you on which peptide(s) to use to optimize your health and improve your quality of life.
Do you prescribe other peptides there are not listed on your website?
Yes. We have many peptides that are not listed on our website. You can talk to your provider so see what peptide therapy is appropriate for your health.
Can I send my medical records to your practice?
Yes, we encourage you to send all of your relevant medical information for us to review.
Are peptides and hormones the same?
Some peptides are hormones but not all hormones are peptides. They both work synergistically together in the human body to restore and optimize your health.
How much are the peptides?
The price varies depending on the type of peptide and quantity of your purchase. At Alpha Hormones, we can prescribe peptide therapy after your medical consultation.
Will I be receiving patient education for the medications that I am taking?
Absolutely! Our medical team, pharmacists, scientists, and healthcare professionals are here to help you every step of the way.
