Years Experiences

Care led by a real physician

Our resident doctor, Michael Woo-Ming, MD, MPH, trained at the Mayo Clinic in Family Medicine, earned his MD at Wayne State, and his MPH at the University of Michigan. He’s looked after thousands of Southern California patients since 1999. Translation: you’re working with a clinician who reads your labs, listens, and builds a plan around your day—kids, commute, workouts, the whole picture.

Why hormones matter more than slogans

Hormones steer metabolism, mood, sleep, muscle, and appetite. When they drift, everything feels harder. We see it every week—women in perimenopause fighting hot flashes and brain fog, men watching drive and muscle take a slow slide, thyroid markers quietly sabotaging energy. If you’ve been looking for hormone therapy for women in Spring Valley, CA or HRT for men you’re probably tired of being told to “just eat better.” We won’t do that. We’ll test and fix what the numbers show.

How we work

Personalized Hormone Care Rooted in Data, Driven by Results

Step 1

Testing

We begin with lab tests—checking hormones, thyroid, vitamin D, lipids, A1c, and sometimes cortisol. You’ll get clear results and understand how they connect to the symptoms you feel.

Step 2

Plan

Dr. Woo-Ming builds a treatment plan based on your labs and goals. This may include hormone therapy, thyroid support, and lifestyle tweaks that fit into your daily routine.

Step 3

Careful Dosing

We start with low doses and adjust slowly based on how you feel. No megadoses, no guesswork—just steady, personalized care at every step.

Step 4

Follow-through

Labs are rechecked every few months. We track your progress, fine-tune the plan, and guide you clearly so you always know what comes next.

For women

steadier days, better nights

Perimenopause and menopause don’t arrive politely. Hot flashes, night sweats, weight that sticks to the midsection, mood swings—fun combination. Our hormone therapy for women in Spring Valley uses bioidentical estrogen and progesterone when appropriate, with thyroid and micronutrient support if labs point that way. We pair this with practical nutrition and strength work so you’re not losing muscle while you’re gaining your footing. Most women start noticing changes in sleep and heat symptoms within weeks; body-composition and mood follow as the plan settles in.
For men

rebuild drive and protect muscle

Testosterone doesn’t drop off a cliff—it drifts. You feel it as less drive, more belly, slower recovery, and a shorter fuse. Our HRT for men in Spring Valley, CA focuses on safe, monitored testosterone replacement when indicated, plus the basics that make it work: protein targets, resistance training, and sleep that actually restores. If your labs suggest thyroid or insulin issues are part of the story, we address those too, so you’re not chasing one number while the others hold you back.
Why Choose Us

Why bioidentical hormones?

Plenty of patients tolerate bioidentical hormone therapy in Spring Valley better than older formulations because dosing can be dialed in and monitored closely. It’s not a miracle and it’s not for everyone—but when it fits, it’s smooth and predictable. We’ll explain pros, cons, costs, and timelines in plain language before anything starts.

Tie it into the bigger picture

Hormones don’t live in a vacuum. We connect your plan to the rest of your health so improvements stack:

Built for Spring Valley, not a brochure

Plans have to survive the 125 at rush hour, youth sports, and late family dinners. We keep dosing schedules simple, nutrition realistic, and workouts doable at home or in a basic gym. If it doesn’t fit your week, it won’t last—so it doesn’t make the plan.

Straight pricing, clear sourcing

Medications come from regulated pharmacies. We show you doses, costs, and options before you commit. Follow-up labs are scheduled on a reasonable cadence so you’re monitored without living at the clinic. No bundles you don’t need. No upsells hiding in the small print.

Is hormone therapy right for you?

Good candidates are adults with clear symptoms and lab markers to match—women navigating peri/menopause, men with documented low T, anyone with thyroid issues that explain the “always tired” feeling. If your numbers don’t support therapy, we’ll say so and map a different route. You’ll still leave with a plan.
