Well-balanced hormones are important for not just women.

But for men, too.

One size does not fit all when it comes to hormone optimization or replacement. With each person, there are varying dosages, routes of administrations, and the duration of treatment should be considered.

We commonly administer the following treatments, but in no way is this an exhaustive list:

Thyroid Management

Your thyroid is a small, but incredibly important gland located at the base of your neck, controlling how quickly your body uses energy, plays a role in immune function, and affects protein and neurotransmitter production. Whether you're experiencing symptoms of Hashimoto's disease or hypothyroidism, by getting treatment early on, you're more likely to prevent thyroid damage and reduce medications in the long term.

Bioidentical hormone replacement

No matter your goals, we can customize your hormone dosing based on your health history, serum hormone levels, and risk prevention so you get relief from your symptoms associated with menopause/perimenopause, andropause (low testosterone), hypothyroidism, adrenal dysfunction, osteoporosis, and/or weight gain.

The hormones we use are obtained from natural plants to substitute the naturally occurring ones in the body, which is much safer than synthetic progestin. They can also help in preventing conditions such as osteoporosis, cognitive loss, and vaginal atrophy.

Testosterone replacement

Men will have a predictable decline in the male sex hormone, testosterone, leading to decreased energy, weight gain, loss of muscle mass, and decreased sex drive or erectile function. They will also have an increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and dementia. Luckily, there is something that can be done about it! Men can supplement their hormones, just like women. The best routes for testosterone replacement are injectable and occasionally topical.

Improved mood, energy, sleep, sex drive, and muscle recovery time will usually start in a few weeks of testosterone replacement. It may take a few months to fully appreciate the improved stamina, muscle building, fat burning, and erectile function effects of testosterone.

Hormone Balancing - PCOS

Hormonal health is right up there with diet and exercise when it comes to overall health. Hormone balancing can be used to ready women for pregnancy to optimize fertility, control menstrual cycle irregularities, and assess symptoms associated with menopause. If you are experiencing any of the signs and symptoms mentioned above, there is safe and effective treatment available.

Both of my appointments have gone well. I feel like I can ask questions and the answers feel genuine versus the normal scripted answers.

Dr. Schulz is kind, compassionate and takes the time to answer my questions. I feel well looked after by Dr. Schulz and would recommend her services.

After being used to the Kaiser Permanente system for my health needs, it was so amazingly refreshing to experience a visit with Dr. Alison Schulz.

First, she made me feel very comfortable and relaxed in her presence. Dr. Shultz is a wealth of knowledge and I felt like the health issues I wished to address were given her complete care and attention. There was no rushed atmosphere at all and the time given was very sufficient in discussing each aspect of what was being addressed. It is a wonderful feeling to finally think that I have a doctor who truly cares and has the knowledge to treat me with the highest natural medicine available. After hearing so many good things about Dr. Schultz from a very good friend of mine who has been seeing her for 7 years, I am so thankful I stepped outside my comfort zone and made an appointment with her!

I have never had a relationship with a doctor like I have with her.

Dr. Alison has been my doctor for about 7 years now. I have never had a relationship with a doctor like I have with her. The amount of attention and support she provides me is unheard of and has made a tremendous difference in my health and quality of life. Dr. Alison’s experience and knowledge always gives me peace of mind and she has given me my health back through some very difficult obstacles ranging from GI issues to thyroid disease and hormone imbalance. I never thought I could have a doctor that cares as much as her and that I can trust so much.
- Leslie R.

I would highly recommend doctor Allison Schulz.

I had a problem with my legs for almost 4 years. I went to see doctor Allison and within 3 weeks, my issue was gone, I will definitely go back to doctor Schulz for medical issues.
- Paul A.

I had another great appointment with Dr. Schulz!

I feel like she really works with you to get to the bottom of what is going on with your body. Also, the set up she has with the patient portal online which allows you to see your lab results is fantastic!
- Stephanie B.

I really appreciated your open communication style and the time you took to create a treatment plan with me.

I felt genuinely heard and I'm excited to finally have new tools to manage (and hopefully solve) my health issues. Thank you for addressing all my questions!
- Corynn D.

I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. Alison Schulz.

She is very down to earth. I feel like I could talk to her about anything. She always provides solutions to my problems, and cures for my ailments. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
- Angela J.

Even though the Dr. had been over-booked at my appointment time, she still seemed very concerned about my comfort & needs before, during, & after the appointment.

I was able to have a procedure done that I have been waiting for my whole life, but had not done yet because I couldn't rationalize spending the money for cosmetic purposes, but even without insurance, I didn't break the checkbook with Dr. Shultz. I am very pleased with the results & felt very well-taken care-of while under Dr. Shultz's care.
- Mel R.

I had a super lovely experience.

The whole thing was quick and painless. You were professional and pleasant. Also, I'm happy I found somewhere with affordable prices.
- Josh H.

My experience was fantastic.

The appointment was quick and expedient. The Dr. Schulz was kind, courteous, helpful, and down to earth. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.
- Troy H.

Having Dr. Alison as my doctor has been very refreshing!

I’ve dealt with chronic pain my entire life and I have never felt like I was being taken seriously. Alison is a great listener and I feel like she’s willing to work with me and try new things that better fit my needs.

- Troy H.

I truly enjoyed my appointment.

The location was not difficult to find and the environment was very homey which made my experience comfortable. I experienced very little discomfort with the procedure and the healing process has been amazing thus far. Thanks again! I will definitely be recommending others to come see you.

- Camaya T.

My energy levels and overall well-being have improved greatly!

Dr. Schulz is a truly amazing person. She was recommended to me by a friend who was dealing with serious health issues, and she helped him out tremendously. When I saw how much better my friend was feeling and looking, I decided to make an appointment with her regarding some less serious health issues that I have been dealing with, mainly low energy and lethargy. Dr. Schulz listened very carefully to everything I told her and asked insightful questions. he didn't push anything but gave a few different options for treatment but only after gathering substantial data and lab results. She explains everything very thoroughly. My energy levels and overall well-being have improved greatly! I can't say enough good things about her and would highly recommend her!
