Hormone Optimization: HRT & TRT in Raleigh, NC

Feel like yourself again.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men, guided by expert lab interpretation and a protocol built around your biology, not a template pulled off a shelf.

Serving Raleigh, Wake Forest, Youngsville, Cary, Knightdale, and Rolesville.

A Functional Medicine Program

Hormone Optimization is sold and priced separately from membership, as its own Functional Medicine Program with its own pricing, not as a membership perk. Once hormone replacement therapy is prescribed, ongoing HRT maintenance care requires an active Access or Complete membership alongside the program.

The only added cost is further individualized supplements recommended based on your results, available at 20% off retail.

A Familiar Frustration

Your labs came back "normal." But you don't feel normal.

Standard reference ranges are built around population averages, not optimal function. A TSH of 3.8 is technically within range, but for many people it represents sluggish thyroid function that affects energy, weight, and mood. At Staywell, labs are read the way they were meant to be, in the context of your symptoms, your history, and what optimal actually looks like for you.

Recognizing the Signs

Is this you?

Hormonal shifts rarely announce themselves clearly. It's usually a slow drift away from who you used to be, until one day something feels off.

  • Declining strength or difficulty building muscle
  • Reduced libido or erectile dysfunction
  • Brain fog and poor concentration
  • Increased body fat, especially visceral
  • Mood changes: irritability, low drive, flat affect
  • Poor sleep quality or insomnia
  • Hair loss or skin changes
  • Andropause, a gradual hormonal decline with age

  • Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix

The Staywell Approach

A supervised, evolving process

We don't hand you a standard protocol and send you on your way. Hormone optimization here is built around your individual response, not a fixed dose.

Expert Lab Interpretation

A comprehensive hormone and micronutrient panel, read against optimal ranges, not just population averages, in the context of your symptoms and goals.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Hormones molecularly identical to what your body produces, compounded to your precise dose. No one-size-fits-all prescriptions.

Micronutrient Optimization

Hormones don't work in isolation. We assess and address the magnesium, zinc, B vitamins, and vitamin D that hormonal systems depend on.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular follow-up labs and check-ins keep your protocol working and allow for precise adjustments as your body responds.

Direct Provider Access

Text your provider between visits with questions or symptom changes. You won't wait weeks for an answer when something feels off.

Whole-Person Context

Sleep, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle all shape hormone function, and all factor into your protocol, not just the numbers on a lab report.

What to Expect

A process, not a quick fix

1

Intake Consultation

Your provider reviews your full health history, current symptoms, medications, and goals, shaping a targeted lab panel instead of a generic checklist.

2

Comprehensive Lab Review

A thorough hormone panel, which may include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid markers, adrenal function, micronutrients, and metabolic markers, interpreted in context, not just flagged in or out of range.

3

Your Individualized Protocol

Based on your labs, symptoms, and goals, your provider builds a personalized protocol: bioidentical hormone therapy, micronutrient support, lifestyle adjustments, or a combination, compounded specifically for you.

4

Follow-Up and Refinement

Follow-up labs and regular check-ins let your provider track your response and make adjustments, so you're moving toward feeling genuinely well, not just hitting a number on paper.

5

Long-Term Optimization

Once you reach a stable, optimal baseline, the focus shifts to maintaining it as your body changes with age, stress, or life circumstances.
