Lighthouse Point FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
How close is the office?
About 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
