The system most patients arrive for. We find what your hormones and thyroid are actually doing, bring them into the range where you feel like yourself, and keep them there with lab-verified adjustments.
A standard reference range is a statistical band built to catch disease — not to describe a good life. You can sit inside it and still feel tired, foggy, and flat. Hormone optimization is about finding where you personally function best, and that number is rarely the one on the printout.
At Modern Hormone, every plan starts with a 62-marker baseline across hormones, thyroid, metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory and nutrient status. Dr. Dean reads them together — because your hormones don't act alone — and builds a protocol he adjusts as your labs move.
Steady drive through the afternoon instead of a 3pm crash.
Sharper focus and steadier mood, day to day.
Deeper sleep and faster recovery from training.
Muscle, motivation, and drive returning on their own.
Not everyone is a candidate — and we'll tell you honestly at the consultation, before you spend anything.
A comprehensive baseline — not a single number — so nothing is guessed at.
You meet Dr. Dean, review what the labs show, and hear honestly whether this is right for you.
A protocol built for your body and goal, explained in plain language and in writing.
Delivered in office or via telehealth, on the schedule that fits your life.
Re-test, adjust, repeat. This is ongoing care, not a one-time visit.
Dr. Dean reviews every panel personally, adjusts doses based on results, and stops anything that isn't earning its place. Monitoring cadence, contraindications, and what we decline to treat are discussed openly — not buried in a consent form. Hormone therapy carries real considerations, and candidacy is determined case by case after evaluation.
Some patients optimize for a season and taper; others stay because the results are worth keeping. Both are legitimate, and we'll tell you honestly which is likely in your case at the lab review — before you spend anything on treatment.
A subscription mails you a vial. It doesn't examine you, run 62 markers, treat the metabolic and inflammatory picture around your hormones, or notice the thing on your panel that has nothing to do with testosterone. One physician who knows your file is the entire product here.
Then we say so. Normal-but-unoptimized is the most common finding here and it's treatable. Genuinely optimal labs with real symptoms means the answer is elsewhere — and we refer rather than treat the wrong thing.
This is a cash-pay practice. Some bloodwork may be billable through your plan, HSA/FSA often applies, and financing is available. Every program shows its price before you book.
Replacement asks whether a level is inside the reference range. Optimization asks whether it is in the part of the range where you function well, reads it alongside thyroid, metabolic and inflammatory markers, and adjusts on repeat labs. That is why “your labs are normal” and “your labs are optimal” are different sentences.
Hormones, thyroid, metabolic markers, cardiovascular risk, inflammation, organ function, blood counts, nutrient status and prostate health where relevant — drawn once and read together. The full list is published on the services page, and the exact panel is confirmed for you at the consultation.
It varies by what is being treated and by the person. Sleep and energy often move first, over weeks; body composition and strength take months. Repeat labs at 8–12 weeks are how we tell whether the plan is working rather than relying on how a given two weeks felt.
Physician-monitored testosterone therapy, with hematocrit, estradiol and PSA actually tracked.
Prescription peptide protocols chosen from your labs and reviewed alongside the rest of your plan.
GLP-1 therapy with monitoring built specifically to protect lean muscle through the loss.
Perimenopause, menopause and the symptoms most often dismissed as normal, properly evaluated.
The same medicine measured over years: deeper diagnostics and risk found early enough to change.
Start with labs and a conversation. You'll leave knowing your plan and your price — no pressure.
