Do you not feel like your normal self? Are you struggling with change in mood, weight fluctuations, or depleting energy levels? Have you been told this is a normal process of aging or are unsure where to begin to address these concerns? Welcome to Optimal Health & Wellness where we seek to find the root cause of these changes & treat accordingly.
Commonly, these symptoms are related to hormone shifts that naturally occur as we age but we do not have to accept that this is a new reality or be passive to these imbalances. Bioidentical hormone replacement can be a safe & effective solution for you. These are biologically identical to those produced by your body. By finding the right balance, we can help you attain your highest functioning state.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We provide highly individualized care, working closely with our patients to develop personalized treatment plans. We won’t give you a standardized strategy but one that’s tailored to your unique needs. We specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for both men and women.
Please read below for additional benefits, information regarding our methods, and educational resources.
Men’s health is essential, and issues like erectile dysfunction, PSA screenings, and prostate cancer screening should not be overlooked. Early detection and proactive care can make a significant difference in your overall well-being. Contact us today to learn more about these important health topics and how we can assist you in taking control of your health.
Men do not have a defined term to describe their hormone decline like menopause for women, but their hormone balance is equally important. Men’s primary hormone, testosterone, is crucial for energy, weight management, libido, sexual function, sleep, and mood. Testosterone levels in males begin decreasing with age and can start as early as their 30’s. Low testosterone can cause weight gain (particularly in the midsection), erectile dysfunction, depression, sleep disturbance, loss of muscle mass, strength, and stamina. If you suffer from any of these let us help!

With HRT injections, we are able to change the dosage based on how you are responding to hormone replacement therapy. Regular checks to make sure you are getting the right dosage also means we can monitor and evaluate both your hormone levels and your general well-being.
Pellets are compounded estradiol or testosterone that are made from organic plant materials, which have the exact molecular structure of those hormones found in the body. They are pressed into a solid compound that is about the size of a cooked grain of rice. Using a painless office procedure, they are inserted under the skin in the hip area. The pellets release small amounts of hormone directly into the bloodstream over a period of 3 Months.
When you schedule a consultation, you will have labs collected by one of our medical assistants or nurses. You will then visit with one of our hormone specialists. This visit will consist of a detailed history and a simple exam to evaluate your needs and identify any risk factors. When lab results have been returned to the office (typically ~1 week), you will be notified to schedule a follow-up appointment & initiate your therapy if indicated. Our practitioners will then review your lab results & provide recommendations specific to your needs.
There are many mediums for HRT but at OHWKC, we opt for the most bioavailable & efficient methods. Our primary means of HRT include injections and pellets & both will be discussed in your consultation. Both injections & pellets have reduced risks compared to oral & synthetic preparations and are typically better absorbed than topical creams. They are also dosed according to your symptoms & lab levels.
Injections are recommended to be given once per week for men receiving testosterone & bi-weekly (every other week) for women receiving estradiol and testosterone. This schedule is due to the half-life, or metabolism of the hormones. These are a great option if you are new to hormone replacement to assess how your body responds & if dose adjustments are necessary.
If you feel well managed with your doses, pellets may be another good alternative. These slow-release formulations placed under the skin allow for consistent & stable release of hormones which can reduce side effects, & half a longer half-life of 3-4 months to allow for less frequent visits. The ease of pellets for patients is unmatched as they do not have to worry about dosing or self-administration.
Pellet therapy does involve a minimally invasive office procedure for insertion. This involves an injection at the site of the insertion to numb the area and a very small incision. There is minimal discomfort and downtime and no stitches. Your provider will review the pre- and post-care instructions with you in preparation for your insertion.

Melissa Ebert2023-06-17Amanda and Bryan are absolutely the best. They are extremely compassionate, knowledgable, and genuinely concerned about their patients. Amanda and Bryan provide the BEST CARE and both go above and beyond to treat the WHOLE person and not just the complaint/disease. You both have found your true calling. Thank you for all that you do. I always walk out of your office looking and feeling my BEST!!
Brandy McGuire2023-06-01Amanda and Bryan are amazing! They have helped me keep my thyroid on track for years, but I was so ecstatic when they started offering Semaglutide injections for weight loss. They explained all of the side effects in depth and gave me a prescription for Zofran to help manage nausea just in case I needed it (I never needed it). I went in every 4 weeks and they assessed my side effects as well as my progress and adjusted my dosage accordingly. It was the best experience and I lost 38 pounds in 5 months!! I’m so grateful for their help!!!
Johnathan Allison Farris2023-04-18One stop office! The only providers I recommend to my friends and family.
