Question 1

What happens at my first visit?

Accepted Answer

You get a full one hour with Dr. Tammy. We talk through your life, stress, medical history, current symptoms, and goals — then build a personalized plan that may include advanced labs, hormone therapy, nutrition, supplementation, IV therapy, and regenerative options.

Question 2

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Most insurance plans don't cover bio-identical hormones, IV therapy, peptides, or concierge functional medicine. We're transparent about pricing up front and many patients use HSA/FSA funds. We provide superbills you can submit for possible reimbursement.

Question 3

Can I use my HSA or FSA?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most of our services qualify when prescribed. Visit our FSA/HSA page for a quick overview of what's typically eligible and how to use your card.

Question 4

Where are you located and who do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Our clinic is in Lowell, Arkansas (213 W Monroe Ave, Suite P), serving patients across Northwest Arkansas — Lowell, Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale, and Fayetteville.

Question 5

What are bio-identical hormones (BHRT)?

Accepted Answer

Bio-identical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones your body naturally produces (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid). Because they fit your receptors perfectly, they tend to be better tolerated than synthetic hormones and can restore balance with fewer side effects when dosed correctly.

Question 6

How do I know if my hormones are out of balance?

Accepted Answer

Common signals include fatigue, weight gain (especially belly fat), sleep issues, brain fog, hair loss, low libido, mood swings, anxiety, hot flashes, irregular cycles, and just not feeling like yourself. We confirm with comprehensive lab testing — never guesswork.

Question 7

How long until I feel better?

Accepted Answer

Many patients notice improvements in sleep, energy, and mood within the first 2–4 weeks. Full hormone balance and metabolic shifts typically settle in over 3–6 months as we fine-tune your protocol.

Question 8

Can I stay on hormones long term?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when properly monitored. Optimal hormone levels support brain, bone, heart, and metabolic health for decades. We re-evaluate every 3–6 months with labs and adjust as your body and life change.

Question 9

What is hormone pellet therapy?

Accepted Answer

Tiny bio-identical hormone pellets (smaller than a grain of rice) are placed just under the skin in a quick in-office procedure. They release a steady, physiologic dose of estradiol or testosterone over 3–6 months — no daily creams, patches, or pills.

Question 10

How often do I need pellets reinserted?

Accepted Answer

Women typically re-pellet every 3–4 months and men every 5–6 months, depending on metabolism, activity level, and follow-up labs.

Question 11

Are hormone pellets safe?

Accepted Answer

Bio-identical pellets have been used safely for decades. Safety depends on proper dosing, ongoing monitoring, and an experienced physician. Dr. Tammy follows every patient with regular labs and symptom tracking to keep your levels in the optimal — not just 'normal' — range.

Question 12

Do men benefit from hormone therapy too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Low testosterone affects energy, focus, mood, muscle mass, libido, and cardiovascular health. We offer comprehensive male testosterone optimization — pellets, injections, and creams — always paired with full metabolic and prostate monitoring.

Question 13

What about ED, drive, and performance?

Accepted Answer

We address the whole picture: hormones, blood flow, metabolic health, sleep, stress, and lifestyle. Treatment may include testosterone optimization, peptides, regenerative therapies, and shockwave therapy depending on the root cause.

Question 14

Do you offer GLP-1 weight loss medications?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we prescribe semaglutide and tirzepatide as part of a comprehensive metabolic plan that also addresses hormones, nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle. Our goal is sustainable fat loss without losing muscle.

Question 15

What is compounded GLP-1?

Accepted Answer

Compounded GLP-1 is pharmacy-prepared semaglutide or tirzepatide formulated for an individual patient under a prescription. It's an option when brand supply is limited or when patients want a customized dose.

Question 16

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

Accepted Answer

When prescribed and monitored by a physician, GLP-1s have a strong safety record. We screen carefully, start low, titrate slowly, and watch labs and symptoms throughout your program.

Question 17

What are peptides?

Accepted Answer

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal the body to heal, repair, regulate immunity, support cognition, and improve recovery. Common peptides include BPC-157, thymosin, sermorelin, and others — chosen for your specific goals.

Question 18

How are peptides administered?

Accepted Answer

Most are given as small subcutaneous injections, oral capsules, or nasal sprays depending on the peptide and the goal. Protocols typically run in cycles of 4–12 weeks.

Question 19

What does an IV drip do?

Accepted Answer

IV therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids directly into your bloodstream — bypassing the gut for near-100% absorption. We offer drips for energy, immunity, hydration, recovery, beauty, NAD+, glutathione, and weight loss support.

Question 20

How long does an IV take?

Accepted Answer

Most drips take 30–60 minutes. NAD+ drips run longer (90 minutes to several hours). You can relax in our IV lounge — bring a book, work, or simply rest.

Question 21

How often should I do IV therapy?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your goals. Weekly to monthly is typical for ongoing wellness; more frequent during illness, training, or active healing.

Question 22

What is HBOT?

Accepted Answer

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy delivers 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure inside a chamber, dissolving extra oxygen into your blood, plasma, and tissues to support healing, recovery, cognition, and longevity.

Question 23

What can HBOT help with?

Accepted Answer

Patients use HBOT for post-surgical recovery, brain injury and concussion support, athletic recovery, chronic inflammation, wound healing, and longevity protocols.

Question 24

How long is a session and how many do I need?

Accepted Answer

Sessions typically run 60–90 minutes. Most protocols range from 10 to 40 sessions depending on your goal.

Question 25

How is a food sensitivity different from a food allergy?

Accepted Answer

A true allergy causes an immediate immune reaction (hives, swelling, anaphylaxis). Sensitivities create delayed inflammation that may show up hours or days later as bloating, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, or hormone symptoms.

Question 26

Do you test for food sensitivities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer comprehensive food sensitivity panels and pair the results with a personalized gut-healing plan, anti-inflammatory nutrition guidance, and targeted supplements.

Question 27

What is the 21-Day Detox & Inflammation Reset?

Accepted Answer

A structured three-week program that removes common inflammatory triggers, supports digestion and detox pathways, stabilizes blood sugar, and restores healthy gut bacteria.

Question 28

What is PRF facial rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) uses your own blood-derived growth factors to stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, and rejuvenate naturally — no fillers, no synthetic ingredients. Great for fine lines, tone, scars, and overall glow.

Question 29

What does IPL laser treat?

Accepted Answer

Intense Pulsed Light targets sun damage, brown spots, redness, rosacea, and uneven tone. Most patients see brighter, clearer skin in a series of 3–5 sessions with no downtime.

Question 30

What is red light therapy used for?

Accepted Answer

Red and near-infrared light support cellular energy, skin health, recovery, and inflammation reduction. It pairs well with hormone therapy, IVs, and aesthetic treatments.

Question 31

What are regenerative therapies?

Accepted Answer

Regenerative therapies use your body's own healing signals — PRF, peptides, and other modalities — to repair tissue, joints, hair, and skin without surgery or steroids.

Question 32

What is shockwave therapy?

Accepted Answer

Acoustic shockwave is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates blood flow and tissue repair for tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, and stubborn musculoskeletal injuries — drug-free and no downtime.

Question 33

Why practitioner-grade supplements?

Accepted Answer

Practitioner-grade supplements are third-party tested for purity and potency, with no fillers, dyes, or fake ingredients. Dr. Tammy curates a small line that actually works alongside your protocol.

Question 34

Do you offer medical certifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes — visit our Medical Certification page for current offerings. Our physician-led visits cover the exam, paperwork, and any required follow-up testing.
