How do I decide if hormone and longevity medicine is right for me?

Often clients approach us at EVOKE with symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, decreased exercise capacity, sleep disturbances, hot flashes, weight gain, sexual dysfunction. We provide a free 15min consultation to review symptoms and provide information about our services that can help you to decide if hormone optimization feels right for you

How am I cared for at EVOKE?

Your health care provider will design a unique care plan for you based on your lifestyle, needs, goals, and capacity. They will work with you to come up with a plan that fits your busy life and follow up closely with you to ensure that you are satisfied with your care plan and symptom management.

What happens at my first and follow up visits?

Every plan has a comprehensive review where we learn your story- your symptoms, challenges, concerns, and your goals. We review your past medical history and your blood work to ensure that bioidentical hormone therapy is safe for you. Follow up is often with a review of blood test results and symptoms, hormones are adjusted at this time as needed. Frequency of follow up is determined by your membership, your wants and needs and can be as often as weekly. On average, follow up initially is every 6-8 weeks and as your prescriptions are stabilized and optimized follow up is every 2-3 months. We are available to you between these scheduled visits on an as needed basis to answer any questions or concerns.

When will I start feeling better?

Depending on your concerns, you may start feeling better immediately. Sleep for example, often improves quickly. Metabolic changes are seen in the first 3-6 months and the greatest changes occur after 9-12 months of hormone therapy and lifestyle optimization.

Why do I need to do blood tests and follow ups?

Hormone balance is unique to each person and while we titrate bioidentical hormones to each persons individual symptoms, we also ensure that their levels are within optimal ranges with blood tests. Each persons care plan and follow up may look different depending on their individual needs and symptoms. Once optimized levels are achieved and symptoms resolved the need for blood testing decreases. This is usually achieved after the first 9 months of care.

Are your services covered by my benefits?

Hormone optimization and longevity medicine is private pay health care which means not covered by MSP. If you have a Health Spending Account through your employer, costs can be submitted. Blood tests are generally covered by MSP. Medications are directly billed to the patient by pharmacy and coverage is dictated by individual benefits and health care plans and separate from EVOKE care.
