Patient education

Learn before you decide.

Straight explanations of what we treat and how — written to be clear, honest and useful whether or not you ever become a patient. Every page is reviewed by Dr. Dean before it goes up, and nothing here is a diagnosis.

By topic

Start from the thing you are actually trying to understand.

Each topic below opens with the problem rather than the product: what the symptoms usually mean, what gets measured, and who a given treatment is and is not right for.

Hormones

What optimization means, how a baseline is read, and why “normal” and “optimal” are different sentences.

Men’s health

Low testosterone, what a proper workup includes, monitoring, fertility and the honest limits of therapy.

Women’s health

Perimenopause and menopause, bioidentical versus conventional hormone therapy, and symptoms that get dismissed.

Weight optimization

GLP-1 therapy, protecting muscle through weight loss, body composition versus scale weight, and what happens after.

Peptides

What peptides actually are, how they differ from hormone therapy, and where the regulatory line sits.

Regenerative medicine

PRP, adipose-derived cell therapy, what today’s evidence supports, and how candidacy is decided.

Longevity

Risk found early enough to change: ApoB, Lp(a), insulin resistance, inflammation, and planning over decades.

Sexual wellness

Desire, function and confidence for men and women — worked up from hormones and blood flow rather than a prescription alone.

Two things worth reading first

The two ideas the rest of this practice rests on.

Measurement
The 62-marker baseline, in full

Every marker we draw, grouped by system, with what each group is there to answer. Published in full so you can see exactly what is being measured before you agree to it.

Interpretation
“Normal” and “optimal” are different sentences

Why a panel can sit inside every reference range and still explain how you feel — and where that reasoning stops, because sometimes normal labs really do mean the answer is elsewhere.

Editorial standards

How this material is written.

Physician-reviewed

Dr. Jeffrey Dean, NMD, reviews every clinical page on this site before it publishes.

No invented proof

No fabricated patient stories, lab results, success rates or reviews appear anywhere on this site. Patient stories will be published only with written consent.

Limits stated

Where evidence is early, or a therapy is not FDA-approved for a specific condition, the page says so rather than implying otherwise.

Education, not diagnosis

Nothing here replaces an evaluation. Treatment decisions are made with a licensed physician after an examination and labs.

Common questions

Questions people ask before they read anything else.

The service page for whatever brought you here, and the 62-marker baseline list on the services page. Between them they cover what will be measured, who reads it and what happens after. You do not need to arrive with a treatment in mind.

It is written for the practice and reviewed by Dr. Jeffrey Dean, NMD, before publication. It is educational — it is not a diagnosis, and it is not a substitute for an evaluation.

It is the most common story we hear. A reference range describes a population, not your optimal function, and a panel can be technically within range while several markers sit at the edge of it. It can also mean the answer is somewhere else entirely — in which case we say so and refer, rather than treat something that is not the problem.

Not as a price list. Modern Hormone is a cash-pay practice and every plan is quoted before anything is prescribed, because what a plan costs depends on what the labs show. Membership tiers and what each includes are published in full.

Yes — each service page opens by describing the problem it addresses and who it is and is not appropriate for, before it describes the treatment. Start from the topic that matches your symptoms.

Reading only gets you so far.

At some point it takes a panel and a physician. Labs and a conversation first — you’ll leave knowing your plan and your price.
