Hormone Therapy
We often dismiss day-to-day fatigue, not sleeping well, lack of overall well being, stress, weight gain, and many other symptoms with the new ‘norm’ of how we think we should be feeling. However, hormone imbalance could be the ultimate issue, which is treatable and can get you feeling like your old self.

What Is A Medical Weight Loss Program?
Medical Weight Loss Programs are physician-led, science-backed weight loss programs for individuals who have a hard time losing weight on their own. Many times there is an underlying medical issue that prevents an individual from losing weight. A medical weight loss program provides the medical insight and supervision to address these problems to create a customized weight loss program that works best for a patient’s unique needs in a safe environment.
How Much Does Medical Weight Loss Cost?
Medical Weight Loss at Blue Sky MD is very affordable, since we’re able to bill your insurance. Patients are typically only responsible for primary care co-payments, depending on insurance. We also have low-cost self pay options available as well. Costs vary depending on the length of the program required to achieve the desired weight.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy, or HRT, is a treatment that involves supplementing a person’s natural hormone production through implants, injections, or oral tablets. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline in both men and women, causing intimacy issues, fatigue, and other health issues. Through careful testing, we can analyze your unique biomarkers to create a hormone therapy treatment plan and restore your hormones to optimal levels.
How Much Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Cost?
Hormone Therapy costs vary from person to person, depending on length of treatment and treatment type. We accept insurance and offer low-cost self-pay options, making HRT affordable.
Can Hormone Replacement Therapy Help with Weight Loss?
Hormone Therapy has been shown to help with weight loss in both male and female patients. Hormone Replacement Therapy can help create lean muscle mass, which increases metabolism and speeds up weight loss. HRT also helps increase energy levels and drive, helping to motivate exercise.
