Founded by Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner Annie August, Age Well was created to ditch the old, frustrating model of "wait until you're sick," and instead focus on proactive, personalized wellness. Here, you’ll find a partner in your health journey — someone who listens, digs deeper, and helps you create sustainable changes that truly stick. Because you deserve to feel amazing — not just "fine" — as you age.
What Makes Age Well Different
At Age Well Hormone Health, we do things differently—because you deserve better.
We combine advanced diagnostics with personalized, high-touch care to create a hormone optimization experience that feels as thoughtful as it is effective.
Here, you’ll never be rushed through an appointment or handed a one-size-fits-all plan.
Instead, you’ll get science-backed strategies, expert guidance, and a fully customized approach built around your unique body, goals, and lifestyle.
It's healthcare the way it should be: personal, empowering, and designed entirely for you.
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Annie August
Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner
Like so many women, I hit a wall in my early 40s.
Brain fog, forgetfulness, insomnia, hair loss, stubborn weight gain, crushing fatigue, panic attacks—you name it, I lived it.
As a medical provider myself, I thought I should have the answers. Instead, I bounced from doctor to doctor, ran all the "right" labs, and kept hearing the same dismissive answer: "Everything looks normal. Just exercise more and eat less."
Meanwhile, I was barely surviving on coffee, protein bars, and sad salads... and I felt like I was losing myself.
It wasn’t until I found a functional medicine mentor who truly listened that everything changed. After deeper testing, I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. With a clear path forward, I overhauled my lifestyle, added hormone replacement therapy, and within 18 months, I lost 50 pounds, lowered my inflammation markers, and most importantly — got my life back.
Today, as a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 27 years of healthcare experience, a survivor of perimenopause struggles, infertility, cancer, and autoimmune disease, I bring a unique perspective to my patients. I've lived both sides of the healthcare system — the one that dismisses you and the one that heals you.
At Age Well Hormone Health, we do things differently.
We get to the root cause of your symptoms, create a personalized wellness plan, and empower you to transform your health from the inside out. Whether you need sustainable weight loss, hormone balancing, thyroid optimization, or a complete metabolic reset, we help you feel like YOU again — with energy, confidence, and vitality for the years ahead.
Because aging well isn’t about “getting by.”
It’s about thriving — and living a long, joy-filled, unforgettable life.
With love and fierce belief in your potential,
Annie August, FNP-BC
