What hormone replacement therapy means at this practice
Hormone replacement therapy is a category rather than a single treatment. It covers estrogen and progesterone, it covers testosterone in both women and men, and the panel that leads to it also measures thyroid function and metabolic markers, because those drive many of the same symptoms and would otherwise be mistaken for a hormone problem.
What separates one patient's plan from another is not a menu choice. It is which hormones their bloodwork shows are actually out of range, what their symptoms and history add to that picture, and what a physician judges is safe and appropriate for them. That is why Dr. Tadd Delozier recommends an approach only after he has your results in front of him.
Care begins with your blood panel
The order is fixed and it does not change from one patient to the next. The office sends your lab order to a partner lab and you go in for a comprehensive blood panel. Once those results are back, you sit down with Dr. Tadd Delozier and he goes through them with you alongside your symptoms and your health history, and all of it is documented. A plan is built from that review, and follow-up labs confirm how your body is responding. You can read the full sequence on how care works.
This matters more in hormone care than almost anywhere else, because the symptoms that bring people in are the least specific symptoms in medicine. Fatigue, poor sleep, weight that will not move, low drive, and low mood have many possible causes. Measuring first is the only way to know whether hormones are one of them.
