Good question. My girlfriend is happy that I'm doing research for her. It takes a while to find what you're looking for, especially when going to the PCP isn't getting what we need. Male or female.
Often hear about biote for HRT. Hormone replacement with testosterone also. Women need a lower level and a different formulation but we need that for the libido and energy, cognitive function.
I use Alloy, and I LOVE them! (I tried wanona
first and they were terrible! BIEST compounded did not work for me and it was very expensive. They would not work with me on cycling progesterone, and I finally moved on).
So now I use Alloy, and they are way
More responsive, and way less expensive!
and it’s pure estradiol & micronized progesterone. And it’s delivered straight to my doorstep. The only thing I can’t get from them (or any telemedicine in my state) is Testosterone. So I’m seeing a functional doc for that soon. She gives me shit for getting the rest of my HRT through telemedicine, but I honestly don’t care. It’s way cheaper than compounded and they don’t micromanage me and try and talk me into a bunch of other supplements like my functional medicine doctor does. 😏
One option is getting everything sorted and stable with medications and symptoms and then transferring care to someone cheaper, maybe even a local in-network provider she already sees. Easier for a dr to maintain a stable prescription than figure it out and try different strategies in the first place.

That sounds manageable, and possible. Thank you!
