What is hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy replaces or balances hormones the body is no longer producing at healthy levels. The two most common categories are testosterone therapy for men with diagnosed low testosterone, and menopause hormone therapy (estrogen, often with progesterone) for women in perimenopause and menopause.
Why labs come first
Hormone therapy starts with blood work and symptoms, not guesswork. A clinician confirms a deficiency or a clear indication, then monitors labs regularly to adjust dosing and watch for risks such as elevated red blood cell counts with testosterone.
How telehealth handles it
Telehealth platforms coordinate lab orders, consults and ongoing monitoring, and ship medication from licensed pharmacies. Testosterone is a controlled substance, so platforms must follow specific federal and state prescribing rules.
Why it fits wellness businesses
Clients dealing with fatigue, low energy, poor sleep or menopause symptoms are often already working with a coach, gym or med spa. Offering a trusted path to evaluation keeps their care connected to the habits you help them build.
Keep claims careful
Avoid promising energy, libido or anti-aging results. Describe the process: evaluation, labs, a licensed clinician and ongoing monitoring.
