What makes AgeWell’s programs different from traditional weight loss or hormone therapies?
At AgeWell, hormone care and weight management are part of a broader approach to your midlife health. We consider your symptoms, medical history, appropriate lab testing, nutrition, movement, and sleep to build a plan around your needs and goals.

Our concierge approach means longer appointments, direct access through secure messaging, and ongoing follow-up to monitor your progress and adjust your care. You have time to ask questions, understand your options, and build habits that fit your everyday life.

Do I need to come into the clinic, or can I participate remotely?
AgeWell offers in-office appointments (coming soon) and Telehealth visits for women across Illinois. Bloodwork can be collected in our office or arranged at a lab location near you. For Telehealth patients, your consultation and results review take place virtually; blood collection takes place in person at a local lab.

How soon will I start seeing results?
Many clients report better energy, sleep, and mood within just a few weeks. Weight loss, improved body composition, and deeper metabolic changes typically happen over the 6-month program timeline. True transformation takes time, but you’ll feel progress along the way.

Are labs included in the program cost?
Your initial consultation (AgeWell Foundations) includes your first set of comprehensive labs, including but not limited to metabolic, hormone, nutrients and vitamin levels. Programs offer repeat labs to monitor ongoing treatment within the length of your program. Any specialty lab testing may be an additional cost, depending on your personalized care plan.

Are these programs covered by insurance?
We operate on a cash-pay model, so we DO NOT bill insurance. However, many clients can use HSA or FSA funds toward parts of their care. (Check with your plan to confirm what’s eligible.)

Do you accept insurance or Medicare?
No. AgeWell Hormone Health is a private, cash-pay practice. We do not bill insurance and cannot accept Medicare beneficiaries for private-pay medical consultations or treatment.

What does the Metabolic Reset Program focus on?
The Metabolic Reset Program focuses on sustainable weight management and metabolic health. We evaluate your health history, relevant labs, nutrition, movement, and sleep, then build a personalized plan that may include medication when appropriate.

What is Styku 3D Body Composition, and why is it important?
Styku uses 3D scanning to track body measurements and estimate body composition. Repeat scans help us follow changes in your measurements and estimated body fat over time, alongside your weight, strength, and other health markers.

How do I know if the Hormone Optimization Program is right for me?

If hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness, or other midlife changes are affecting your daily life, a consultation can help you understand your options. We evaluate your symptoms and medical history to determine whether hormone therapy, nonhormone treatment, or further evaluation is appropriate.

What is hormone therapy (HRT), and is it right for me?
Hormone therapy uses estrogen, with a progestogen when needed, to treat certain menopause symptoms. It is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats and can help prevent bone loss. Vaginal hormone treatments can address dryness and discomfort.

Whether it is appropriate for you depends on your symptoms, age, time since menopause, and medical history. At AgeWell, we review your individual benefits and risks, discuss alternatives, and monitor your treatment over time.
