Hormone replacement therapy at Identity Hormones and Healthcare includes both gender-affirming HRT for transgender and non-binary patients and traditional hormone optimization for cisgender individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances. The clinic prescribes and monitors testosterone therapy, estrogen therapy, progesterone, and hormone blockers according to individualized treatment plans based on laboratory results, patient goals, and WPATH guidelines. Providers conduct comprehensive hormone panels, monitor liver function and lipid profiles during treatment, and adjust dosing based on patient response and symptom resolution. The practice also addresses weight management through medical evaluation of metabolic factors, nutritional counseling, and when appropriate, prescription weight management medications integrated with hormone optimization protocols.

The clinical team at Identity Hormones and Healthcare includes nurse practitioners credentialed through AANP who specialize in LGBTQIA+ health, endocrine management, and sexual health. Providers complete ongoing education in transgender medicine, HIV treatment protocols, and hormone therapy management to maintain current knowledge of evolving standards in gender-affirming care. The practice offers HIV care including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prescribing, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) protocols, and ongoing management for patients living with HIV, integrating infectious disease care with hormone therapy when needed. This combination of services allows patients to receive multiple aspects of their healthcare from providers familiar with their complete medical history and identity-related health considerations.

Patients at Identity Hormones and Healthcare receive in-person consultations at the Denver clinic location, with initial appointments typically including comprehensive health history review, physical examination, discussion of treatment goals, laboratory ordering, and development of a personalized care plan. Follow-up visits involve symptom assessment, review of lab results, medication adjustments, and monitoring for any adverse effects or complications. The practice structures appointments to allow adequate time for patient questions and education about hormone effects, expected timelines, and potential risks. Patient feedback consistently references the clinic's approach to reducing healthcare-related stress for LGBTQIA+ individuals who may have experienced discrimination or lack of understanding in traditional medical settings.
