What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormones regulate nearly every system in your body. When levels decline or fall out of balance, the effects show up in ways that are easy to dismiss: poor sleep, a shorter fuse, weight that won't budge, mental fog that wasn't there two years ago. Hormone replacement therapy works by restoring those levels to an optimized range, typically using bioidentical hormones that are structurally identical to what your body produces naturally. That includes testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and in many cases, supporting hormones like DHEA or pregnenolone that influence the bigger picture.
What separates a good HRT program from a mediocre one is the depth of the initial assessment. Too many clinics run a single testosterone draw and call it a day. iRevive runs comprehensive panels that include free and total testosterone, estradiol, sex hormone binding globulin, progesterone, DHEA-S, thyroid markers, metabolic indicators, and more. Ryan Hentges, NP reviews every result personally, and that matters more than most clinics will tell you. Your protocol is built from the full picture of your labs, your symptoms, your medical history, and how your body responds over time.
This is not a quick-fix program. Optimization takes weeks, sometimes months, to fine-tune. Follow-up labs happen at regular intervals so adjustments are based on real data, not guesswork. The goal is not to push your numbers into some arbitrary range. It's to find the balance where you actually feel like yourself again, with energy, clarity, and a body that cooperates with you instead of working against you.
Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal imbalance does not look the same in everyone. Men and women share some overlapping symptoms, but the underlying causes and the way those symptoms progress can be very different. Recognizing the pattern early makes a significant difference in how quickly and effectively optimization can begin.
Men
- Low energy and persistent tiredness
- Reduced motivation and drive
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Unexplained weight gain, especially around the midsection
- Reduced muscle mass despite regular activity
- Decreased libido
- Poor recovery after exercise
- Mood changes, irritability, or low mood
Women
- Sleep disruption or insomnia
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings or emotional volatility
- Weight changes that don't respond to diet or exercise
- Brain fog and memory lapses
- Fatigue that sleep does not resolve
- Low libido or painful intercourse
- Perimenopause symptoms (irregular cycles, spotting)
- Menopause symptoms (vasomotor, metabolic, cognitive)
A Personalized, Data-Driven Approach to Hormone Optimization
Most telehealth hormone clinics follow the same formula: a brief questionnaire, a single lab draw, and a standard dose shipped to your door. That approach works just well enough to keep patients paying, but rarely well enough to produce real results. iRevive was built to do this differently, and that distinction matters more than the marketing language around it. Every decision, from initial labs to ongoing dose calibration, is driven by data and guided by direct clinical oversight.
Advanced Labs
Comprehensive hormone panels including total and free testosterone, estradiol, DHEA-S, SHBG, progesterone, and sex hormone binding globulin.
Biomarker Analysis
Trend-based interpretation across multiple draws, not single-snapshot reads that miss the bigger picture.
Individualized Protocols
Bioidentical hormone dosing calibrated to your lab values, symptom profile, and metabolic context.
Ongoing Monitoring
Follow-up labs at 10-12 week intervals with protocol adjustments based on response and updated biomarker data.
What Your HRT Program May Include
Comprehensive Hormone Testing
Full-panel bloodwork targeting sex hormones, adrenal markers, and metabolic indicators before any protocol begins.
Testosterone Optimization
Bioidentical testosterone therapy dosed to your specific lab values, with ongoing titration as your body responds.
Estrogen & Progesterone Balancing
Precise calibration of estradiol and progesterone for women experiencing perimenopause, menopause, or hormonal shifts.
Thyroid Evaluation
Assessment of TSH, free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies, because thyroid dysfunction often mimics or compounds hormone imbalance.
Metabolic Markers
Fasting insulin, glucose, HbA1c, lipid panels, and inflammation markers reviewed alongside your hormone data.
Peptide Support
Adjunctive peptide protocols where clinically appropriate, targeting recovery, body composition, or cellular repair.
Supplement Recommendations
Targeted micronutrient and supplement guidance based on lab findings, not generic multivitamin suggestions.
Ongoing Follow-Up Care
Regular check-ins with Ryan Hentges, NP via telehealth, with lab rechecks and protocol refinement built into the process.
Potential Benefits of Hormone Optimization
Results vary by individual. With clinically supervised optimization, patients may experience support across multiple dimensions of health.
Who We Treat
Hormone Therapy for Men
Testosterone production begins declining around age 30, and by the time most men notice the effects, they've been operating below their baseline for years. Low energy, reduced motivation, stubborn weight gain around the midsection, diminished recovery from workouts, a shorter fuse. These are not just signs of getting older. For many men, they point directly to declining testosterone and related hormonal shifts. iRevive's protocols address testosterone optimization alongside metabolic and adrenal markers, because treating one number in isolation rarely fixes the problem.

Hormone Therapy for Women
Perimenopause can start years before menopause, and the hormonal shifts during that window are often unpredictable. Estrogen fluctuations, dropping progesterone, thyroid irregularities. Sleep falls apart first. Then comes the brain fog, the weight changes, the mood swings that feel nothing like you. A lot of women are told this is just part of aging. That is simply not accurate. Proper estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid balancing, guided by comprehensive lab panels, can restore function that many women assumed was gone for good.

Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQs
What does hormone replacement therapy treat?
HRT addresses symptoms caused by hormonal decline or imbalance, including fatigue, low libido, weight changes, sleep disruption, brain fog, mood instability, and loss of muscle mass. Women commonly use it to manage perimenopause and menopause. Men typically seek it for testosterone optimization. The specific protocol depends on your lab results and symptom profile.
How do I know if my hormones are imbalanced?
Persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain, difficulty sleeping, reduced motivation, and changes in mood or libido are common indicators. The only way to confirm an imbalance is through comprehensive biomarker analysis. iRevive runs full hormone panels, not just a single testosterone or estrogen draw, so the clinical picture is complete before any protocol begins.
Is HRT only for menopause?
No. While menopause is one of the most well-known reasons for HRT, hormonal imbalances can affect men and women at many stages of life. Men experiencing low testosterone often benefit significantly from hormone optimization. Women in perimenopause, post-surgical menopause, or with early hormonal shifts may also be candidates. Age alone does not determine candidacy.
What labs are required before starting HRT?
iRevive orders comprehensive panels that include total and free testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA-S, sex hormone binding globulin, thyroid markers (TSH, free T3, free T4), metabolic markers such as fasting insulin and HbA1c, and a complete blood count. These labs provide the baseline data needed to build a personalized protocol. Additional markers may be ordered depending on your clinical presentation.
How often are hormone levels monitored?
Follow-up labs are typically ordered at 10-12 week intervals after starting or adjusting a protocol. This cadence allows enough time for your body to respond to the current dose while catching needed adjustments early. Once levels stabilize and symptoms improve, the frequency may shift to quarterly or semi-annual monitoring depending on your case.
Is testosterone therapy available for men?
Yes. Testosterone optimization is one of the most common protocols at iRevive. Ryan Hentges, NP evaluates total and free testosterone alongside supporting markers like SHBG, estradiol, and DHEA-S before recommending a protocol. Bioidentical testosterone is used exclusively, and dosing is adjusted based on how your labs trend over multiple draws rather than a single baseline reading.
Do you offer bioidentical hormone therapy?
Yes. All hormone protocols at iRevive use bioidentical hormones, meaning they are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. This applies to testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone prescriptions. Bioidentical options are preferred because they integrate more predictably with your body's existing hormone receptor pathways.
Do you offer telehealth appointments in Florida?
Yes. iRevive is a 100% telehealth practice. All consultations, follow-ups, and protocol reviews happen remotely through secure video or phone calls. Lab work is completed at a draw site convenient to you. Ryan Hentges, NP is also available between appointments via call or text. This model serves patients across Florida, with particular focus on the Bradenton, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and Venice areas.
