Hormone Optimization & Bioidentical HRT
Comprehensive hormone assessments and evidence-based therapies to support your wellbeing
"Your labs are normal."
"It’s just part of aging!"
"Maybe you're stressed…?"
If you’ve heard these phrases while feeling like a shadow of your former self, you are not alone and it’s not all in your head.
There is nothing more exhausting than knowing something is going wrong inside your body, only to be dismissed because your lab results fall into a broad "normal" range.
Your symptoms are real. At Unscripted Medicine, I listen to your story, look beyond surface-level labs, and partner with you to rebuild the vitality you’re afraid you’ve lost for good.
Beyond Standard Lab Ranges
Hormones are your body’s chemical directors. They dictate your mood, metabolic rate, sleep architecture, brain function, and stress resilience. When your hormones shift, whether due to autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, endocrine disruptors, premature aging, or other factors, the symptoms are real: fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, depression/mood instability, hair loss, anxiety, hot/cold intolerance, muscle loss, poor sleep, and overall lost vitality.
In traditional healthcare, hormone complaints are often dismissed if your routine lab results fall within the "statistically normal" reference range. You are told you're "just getting older" or handed a quick prescription to mask individual symptoms.
At Unscripted Medicine, I treat you, not just a lab value. As a board-certified psychiatric PA with advanced training in metabolic health and hormones, I perform deep biomarker evaluations to understand how your endocrine system is interacting with rest of your body, and we restore hormone balance to optimal ranges safely and sustainably.

The Breakdown: The thyroid is your body’s master engine. Standard labs often evaluate only surface-level TSH, leaving subclinical hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s autoimmunity, or poor T4-to-T3 conversion completely undetected while you suffer from persistent fatigue, brain fog, unexplained weight gain, cold intolerance, hair loss, depression, and more.
My Approach: I go beyond basic screening with comprehensive thyroid panels—evaluating TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. Treatment utilizes optimized bioidentical thyroid therapies (T4/T3 combination, extended release T3, or desiccated thyroid), targeted nutraceuticals, and root-cause dietary interventions to lower inflammation.
The Outcome: Restored metabolic rate, steady physical and mental energy, improved mood, normalized hair and skin quality, and sustained temperature regulation.
-
The Breakdown: Prolonged physical and/or emotional stress can disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis leading to "adrenal fatigue". This neuroendocrine imbalance causes erratic cortisol patterns and inadequate DHEA production, leading to feeling "wired but tired" at night, waking up exhausted, salt/sugar cravings, and reduced stress resilience.
Our Approach: I test your cortisol rhythms and DHEA levels, and develop a personalized care plan to restore nervous system balance using adaptogenic botanical medicine, targeted micronutrient replenishment, sleep hygiene optimization, somatic stress regulation techniques, and bioidentical hormone replacement.
The Outcome: Balanced energy levels, restored stress tolerance, and improved sleep quality.
-
The Breakdown: As ovarian hormone production changes, fluctuating levels of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can trigger disruptive symptoms—including hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, sleep fragmentation, mood changes, anxiety, insulin resistance, abdominal weight gain, and gut dysfunction.
Our Approach: I perform extensive hormone testing to evaluate your specific biological transition stage. I develop customized hormone regimens utilizing conventional and compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), alongside evidence-based nutraceuticals and targeted lifestyle medicine. I conduct repeat testing with dose changes, symptom recurrence, or side effect development to allow for precision dosing while minimizing side effects and risks.
The Outcome: Elimination of hot flashes and night sweats, restored deep sleep, stabilized mood and cognition, and long-term protection for bone, cardiovascular, and brain health.
-
The Breakdown: Age-related or stress-induced decline in bioavailable testosterone (“andropause”) affects men’s health long before conventional lab ranges flag an issue. Suboptimal levels manifest as gradual loss of muscle mass, persistent low energy, reduced libido, decreased motivation, abdominal weight gain, and brain fog.
Our Approach: I conduct comprehensive hormone testing and combine bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with targeted metabolic interventions and lifestyle optimization to ensure safe and effective treatment and prevent unwanted side effects.
The Outcome: Reclaimed vitality, restored physical strength and stamina, improved mental clarity, and optimal metabolic function.
-
The Breakdown: Vitamin D3 functions not merely as a micronutrient, but as a crucial secosteroid hormone that regulates over 2,000 genes. Deficiencies directly impact immune signaling, bone density, mood regulation, and the synthesis of downstream sex and adrenal hormones.
Our Approach: I measure vitamin D levels along with other nutritional factors to calculate your precise biological needs. I prescribe targeted, bioavailable supplementation and lifestyle protocols to achieve functional levels rather than bare-minimum sufficiency.
The Outcome: Enhanced immune system resilience, stabilized mood and brain function, and optimized baseline support for your entire endocrine system.
Because you shouldn't have to drag yourself through every afternoon on pure willpower.
And you shouldn't have to watch your memory, mood, or body composition shift while being told to "just accept it."
And you shouldn't have to settle for surviving your day when you deserve to be thriving.

“I cannot recommend my PA enough! She has been amazing at helping me get to the root of my health concerns instead of just masking symptoms. She takes the time to listen, educate, and create a plan that feels sustainable and supportive. If you're struggling with hormones, thyroid issues, energy levels, or overall wellness, I would 10/10 recommend her!”
