At Prime Wellness, we believe in working with your body, not against it. BHRT uses hormones that are molecularly identical to the ones your body produces naturally. Unlike synthetic options, these plant-derived hormones (often from yams or soy) fit perfectly into your body’s receptors. This allows us to restore your levels to a "lower physiological age," helping you regain the energy, mental clarity, and vitality you felt in your prime.

We don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" or "static" dosing approach. We specialize in Cyclical Rhythmic Dosing. Led by Dr. Kelly Austin, the most advanced practitioner in San Diego for this method, we apply varying amounts of hormones daily to mimic the natural rhythms of a healthy, younger body. This anti-aging approach is more sophisticated than standard HRT and is designed to optimize your body’s receptors and long-term health.

Hormonal imbalances can manifest in many ways. Common symptoms we treat include: • For Women: Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, weight gain, low libido, and insomnia. • For Men: Chronic fatigue, loss of muscle mass, "brain fog," decreased stamina, and erectile dysfunction. If you feel like "yourself but diminished," it is often a sign that your endocrine system needs support.

Yes, when monitored correctly. We prioritize safety by using natural, bioidentical hormones rather than synthetic ones, which have been linked to higher risks in the past. At Prime Wellness, we act as your "healthcare partners." We conduct thorough blood panels every three months during your first year to ensure your hormones are perfectly balanced and your body is absorbing them effectively.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive, one-hour initial consultation. We take the time to listen to your history, lifestyle, and goals. We don’t just look at one number; we run a full diagnostic panel, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid, and even cardiovascular risk markers like ApoB and inflammation. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your "baseline" and a path forward.

Absolutely. We view the hormonal system as a "symphony"—if the thyroid or adrenals are out of tune, the rest of the body follows. We specialize in treating Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and adrenal stress. Our goal is to address the root cause of your fatigue or weight gain, rather than just masking the symptoms.

Every patient is unique. Some feel an improvement in sleep and mood within the first two weeks. For more significant changes like body composition, hair growth, and bone density protection, it typically takes 3 to 6 months of consistent, rhythmic dosing.

Weight loss becomes much more natural once your hormones are balanced. When insulin, thyroid, and sex hormones (like estrogen and testosterone) are optimized, your metabolism can finally function correctly. We often combine BHRT with medical-grade nutrition and detox programs to help you reach your goals faster.

We primarily utilize topical creams (applied to the inner thigh) for our cyclical dosing protocols, as this best mimics the body's natural release of hormones. However, we are experts in all forms of BHRT and will work with you to find the delivery method, whether creams, patches, IV, Injections, or supplements, that best suits your lifestyle and lab results.

Getting started is simple. You can book your initial 55-minute consultation through our website at atmyprime.com.(http://atmyprime.com) We will help you coordinate your lab work and begin crafting your personalized wellness plan.

At Prime Wellness, we use these terms to describe the restoration of your body’s vital chemical messengers. HT (Hormone Therapy) and HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) are the broad categories for this treatment. We specifically utilize BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy), which is a more natural, plant-derived version of HT that precisely matches your body’s molecular structure for better safety and results.

Not at all. While HT is highly effective for relieving menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, we use hormone therapy to treat a wide range of imbalances in both men and women. Whether you are dealing with andropause (male hormone decline), PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or adrenal fatigue, HT can be a key tool in restoring your vitality.

Safety is our baseline. Unlike the "one-size-fits-all" approach of traditional HRT, our hormone therapy is highly individualized. We use Cyclical Rhythmic Dosing to ensure you aren't getting too much or too little at any given time. By mimicking the body’s natural ebb and flow and conducting blood panels every three months during your first year, we ensure your HT protocol is both safe and optimized for your specific physiology.

Many people wait until their symptoms are unbearable, but HT is most effective as a preventative, anti-aging tool. By starting therapy when you first notice changes in energy, sleep, or mood, we can help protect your bone density, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function before significant decline occurs.

Every patient at Prime Wellness receives a comprehensive 55-minute initial consultation. Dr. Austin reviews your full medical history and family history to determine if HT is right for you. Because we use bioidentical hormones and rhythmic dosing, many patients who were told "no" by traditional doctors find they are excellent candidates for our specific method of hormone support.

Yes. We treat both men and women. For men, we focus on fluctuating levels of Testosterone and DHEA to match the body’s natural release patterns. This helps alleviate chronic fatigue, "brain fog," loss of stamina, and decreased muscle mass.

Our hormone protocols are designed to protect your heart, build strong bones, and improve memory and cognition. Patients also frequently report improved skin collagen, stronger hair and nails, the elimination of hot flashes and night sweats, enhanced libido, and better control over cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

We specialize in Cyclical Rhythmic Dosing. While many clinics use "static" dosing (the same amount every day), we apply different amounts of hormones daily to mimic the natural rhythms of a younger, healthy body. Dr. Kelly Austin is the most advanced practitioner in San Diego for this anti-aging method, which helps restore your system to a lower physiological age.

The Wiley Protocol is a specific rhythmical dosing schedule we use for both men and women. It replaces hormones in a way that mimics the natural fluctuations your body experienced in its youth. For women, this involves topical creams applied to the inner thigh on a specific cycle; for men, it involves cyclical Testosterone and DHEA.

Every patient is on a unique dose because everyone’s "Prime" is different. We use thorough blood testing to see exactly what your body requires. We don’t just look at numbers; we act as your healthcare partners, discussing every lab result with you so you understand the "why" behind your customized protocol.

Absolutely. At Prime Wellness, we believe weight loss becomes natural once hormones are balanced. When your thyroid, insulin, and sex hormones are optimized, your body can finally release stored fat. We often pair hormone therapy with nutritional protocols, detox programs, and supplements to maximize results.

We are experts in various delivery methods, including cyclical creams, static dosing, patches, and shots. If one method doesn't suit your lifestyle or needs, we will work with you to find the specific BHRT format that makes your body function at its best.

Yes. We perform extensive testing to ensure your entire "cascade" of thyroid hormones is in balance. We also specialize in identifying and treating autoimmune thyroid disorders, which are often the root cause of weight gain, hair loss, and insomnia.

We treat the full spectrum of hormonal decline, including: • For Women: Poor sleep, low energy, hot flashes, mood swings, low libido, and weakening of bones. • For Men: Fatigue, erectile dysfunction, inability to focus, and loss of strength.
