Women's Health
Your doctor checked your TSH and said you're fine. But you're exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, and can't sleep. We run the full panel. We find what they missed. And we build a plan that actually fits your body.
Why Women Keep Getting Told 'You're Fine'
Most women who walk through our doors have the same story. They went to their primary care doctor or OB. They said something feels off. Maybe it's the fatigue that won't quit, even after eight hours of sleep. Maybe it's the weight that crept on and refuses to leave, no matter how clean they eat. Maybe the anxiety showed up out of nowhere, or the brain fog turned every afternoon into a slog.
And the response was some version of: "Your labs look normal." Or: "This is just part of getting older." Or the one that stings the most: "Have you considered antidepressants?"
Here's what actually happened. Your doctor ran a single test, TSH, and called it a thyroid panel. They didn't check free T3, free T4, reverse T3, or thyroid antibodies. They didn't look at your progesterone, testosterone, estrogen metabolites, or cortisol. They didn't check inflammatory markers, vitamin D, or ferritin. They checked one number, compared it to a population average, and sent you home.
That's not a flaw in the doctor. It's a flaw in the system. Insurance-based visits run 10 to 15 minutes. There's no time to dig deeper, and no incentive to look beyond the standard panel. So the pattern repeats: short visit, incomplete labs, no answers. Meanwhile, your symptoms get worse.
We hear it every day on the phone. "They keep saying everything comes back normal but I don't feel normal." "I feel like I get brushed off." "I asked them to check my hormones and they refused." These aren't outliers. This is the norm for women in conventional medicine.
“Whatever is given through a mail-order service, there's no individualized chemistry, no metabolism assessment, no medication review. We spend an hour with somebody after having the blood work done. It's so individualized, and that's what every woman deserves.”

“I kept going back to my insurance-paying general PCP and OB, they just kept giving me more and more estrogen, which seemed to actually make the symptoms a whole lot worse. I was feeling really, really terrible.”

How Med Matrix Approaches Women's Health
We start where most doctors stop.
Your first visit is a 30-minute testing appointment. We draw a panel of roughly 100 biomarkers and run a full InBody 770 body composition scan. This isn't a screening. It's a detailed map of what's actually happening inside your body.
What we test that your doctor probably didn't:
- Full thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies)
- Sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA)
- Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR)
- Metabolic panel (fasting insulin, glucose, HbA1c)
- Nutrient levels (vitamin D, B12, ferritin, magnesium, zinc)
- Cortisol and adrenal markers
- Body composition (lean mass, visceral fat, hydration levels)
After your labs come back, one of our 7 providers spends time reviewing your results alongside your full health history, medications, symptoms, and goals. Then you sit down for a one-hour provider visit where you go through every result together and build a plan specific to you.
That plan might include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. It might include thyroid optimization, targeted supplements, dietary changes, or peptide therapy. It depends entirely on what your labs and your body are telling us. We don't use cookie-cutter protocols. Every woman gets a plan built around her individual chemistry.
Dr. Rose, one of our lead providers and a naturopathic physician with nearly two decades of clinical experience, spends 75 to 80 percent of her day evaluating women's hormonal health. She's seen thousands of women come in with the same frustration: doctors who refuse to test, dismiss symptoms as aging, or prescribe birth control as a blanket fix for menopause.
We do it differently. We test thoroughly. We listen. And we treat you as a whole person, not a single lab value.

Real Patients, Real Results
Cat is a type 1 diabetic and former fitness instructor. She spent three years suffering through severe menopausal symptoms while her doctors kept increasing her estrogen and telling her it was normal. By the time she found Med Matrix, she was gaining weight, barely sleeping, dealing with intense anxiety, and felt completely unheard.
Blood testing at Med Matrix revealed she actually needed progesterone and testosterone in addition to estrogen, plus had significant inflammation. Within about six months on a balanced hormone protocol and targeted supplements, her weight stabilized, sleep improved, anxiety resolved, and her moods evened out. Her husband confirmed the difference.
She also had a separate gut issue that her primary care couldn't diagnose after months of testing. Med Matrix resolved it in two months with two supplements.
Cat's story isn't unusual. We've treated over 3,000 patients at Med Matrix with a 4.9-star rating across 150+ Google reviews. Most of those patients came in after being told by another doctor that nothing was wrong.

We run a panel of roughly 100 biomarkers including a full thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies), sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA), inflammatory markers, metabolic markers, nutrient levels (vitamin D, B12, ferritin, magnesium), and cortisol. You also get an InBody 770 body composition scan. This gives us a detailed picture of what's actually happening in your body, not just a single number.
We use bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. They're sourced from plants (wild yam or soy) and have a better safety profile than synthetic hormones. Your provider customizes the exact combination and dose based on your lab results, symptoms, and health history. We can adjust estrogen type and strength, progesterone, and testosterone individually. It's not a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Initial onboarding runs about $1,200 to $1,500 all-in. That covers your labs, body composition scan, provider prep time, and your full one-hour provider visit. Follow-up visits are $275. Supplements typically run $20 to $100 per month, and hormone therapy runs $70 to $200 per month depending on your protocol. We accept HSA, FSA, CareCredit, and all major cards. New patients also get a $100 voucher toward their first visit.
We operate outside the insurance model, which is actually why we can spend an hour with you and run the testing your doctor won't order. Insurance-based care is limited by what codes get reimbursed, which is why most conventional doctors only run TSH and call it a day. We accept HSA and FSA accounts, CareCredit financing, and all major credit and debit cards.
Most women notice initial improvements within one to three months. Sleep and anxiety often improve first. Energy, weight, and mood shifts tend to build gradually. We recheck labs at about 10 weeks and see you at 12 weeks to review and adjust. Many patients describe it as subtle at first, then looking back and realizing how much has changed. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
No. Perimenopause can start as early as 35, and many women are symptomatic for 10 to 15 years before their periods actually stop. If you're dealing with fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, brain fog, or sleep problems, your hormones may already be shifting. Getting baseline testing now lets us catch imbalances early and prevent them from getting worse. The earlier you start, the more we can do.
