- weight gain
- hormonal imbalance symptoms
Every woman’s experience is different, which is why care should be personalized.
Is hormone therapy right for me?
Hormone therapy is not one-size-fits-all. The right approach depends on your symptoms, health history, goals, and individual risk factors. During your consultation, we’ll review your concerns, discuss appropriate options, and determine whether hormone therapy may be a suitable part of your personalized care plan.
Do you prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
When clinically appropriate, yes. Treatment recommendations are based on your medical history, symptoms, treatment goals, and individualized assessment. Our goal is thoughtful, evidence-based care designed around your unique needs.
Do you offer medical weight loss programs?
Yes. We provide medically guided weight and metabolic optimization programs designed to support sustainable, long-term results—not quick fixes.
Your plan may include:
- metabolic evaluation
- lab review
- nutrition guidance
- lifestyle recommendations
- body composition strategy
- GLP-1 support when clinically appropriate
- ongoing follow-up care
What if I’ve tried everything and still can’t lose weight?
You’re not alone. Weight changes—especially after 35—can be influenced by hormones, insulin resistance, metabolic health, sleep quality, stress, inflammation, and other factors. Our approach looks beyond calories alone to better understand what may be contributing to your challenges.
Do you offer functional wellness / root-cause evaluations?
Yes. For women seeking a deeper, more comprehensive look at their health, we offer a more root-cause-focused approach that may explore contributing factors such as:
- hormone balance
- thyroid health
- nutrient deficiencies
- inflammation
- cardiometabolic risk
- fatigue
- metabolic dysfunction
Is this anti-aging medicine?
Our focus is not quick fixes or cosmetic “anti-aging” treatments. Preventive longevity care is about proactive, evidence-based support for long-term health and vitality.
Is this only for older women?
Not at all. Many women begin focusing on prevention and optimization during their 30s, 40s, and beyond—especially during hormonal transitions.
Do I need symptoms to benefit?
Not necessarily. Many women seek preventive care because they want a more proactive understanding of their health.
What happens during my first consultation?
Your first visit is a personalized medical consultation focused on understanding YOU.
We’ll review:
- your symptoms
- health history
- current concerns
- wellness goals
- relevant medical background
From there, we’ll discuss personalized recommendations and next steps based on your needs.
Do I need lab work?
Not always. Lab recommendations depend on your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. If appropriate, we may recommend diagnostic testing to help guide a more personalized care plan.
Do you accept insurance?
Island Wellness Clinic offers personalized self-pay wellness services designed to provide a higher-touch, individualized experience that may not fit within traditional insurance models.
How do I know which service is right for me?
That’s exactly what your consultation is for. Whether your concerns involve hormones, menopause, weight changes, fatigue, metabolic health, or overall wellness optimization, we’ll help guide you toward the most appropriate next step.
Is virtual care as effective as in-person care?
For many wellness, hormone, metabolic, and follow-up services—yes. Virtual care allows for thoughtful consultation, education, treatment planning, follow-up support, and ongoing care in a convenient and secure setting. If an in-person evaluation or additional testing is needed, we’ll guide you appropriately.
