How is this different from other hormone programs?
Unlike any other hormone health program out there, we address the underlying cause of hormonal deficiencies and imbalances in perimenopause and menopause. This gives women options other than having to take HRT or other medications forever.
Here’s a video going over the unique step-by-step Hormone Boss approach.
What type of testing do you do?
We use advanced specialty hormone testing via saliva with our proprietary at home test kits from a CLIA certified laboratory in Oregon. Our test was designed by Dr Crawford to evaluate all the sex hormones as well as adrenal function, to assess the pre-hormone system, and the stage of adrenal fatigue. It also assesses the hormones of the circadian rhythm or sleep-wake cycle to optimize energy and sleep.
What does an example plan look like?
Plans are totally customized based on your symptoms, labs, current health conditions and history, and we co-create your plan with you to meet your specific needs.
Your plan will consist of a small number of carefully selected therapeutic supplements as well as, in some cases, the short term use of bio-identical hormone replacement.
We also incorporate lifestyle and dietary modifications and neuroscience-backed mind-body medicine with exercises and advanced coaching support to accelerate your healing.
As naturopathic physicians, we are the highest trained in the world in the therapeutic use of botanical and nutritional medicines using the highest quality doctor-grade nutraceutical companies in North America.
We are able to use precision medicine and functional medicine approaches so your plan will address both short term goals (symptoms) and long term goals (root cause).
How long does it take to see results?
The vast majority of our clients see results within the first 30 days. Most have a 50% overall Improvement within 90 days and 80% overall Improvement within 6 months.
What happens when the program is over?
Once you have completed 6 months you enter maintenance where we focus on supporting the pre-hormone system so that your body can make its own hormones in the right amount for your age and in the right balance. Since we were working on the underlying cause of hormonal deficiency and imbalance in perimenopause and menopause (hormone production at the pre-hormone system), ongoing maintenance support for that system should be the only thing required long-term as part of your foundational health supplement plan.

Why work with us?
No other program out there addresses the real underlying cause of why your hormones are deficient and out of balance, even for menopausal levels. Simply giving you hormone replacement ignores the root issue. Here is a training on what the real issue is and what to do about it.
What is the science behind the approach and recommendations?
What if I’ve had a hysterectomy?
Women that have had a hysterectomy whether it's a complete/total, partial, or hysterectomy plus oophorectomy, still need their hormones optimized! Most women don't know this but you still make hormones after menopause and after hysterectomy. This is because we make hormones in other areas of our body, fat cells for example are estrogen factories. We believe that women who have had a hysterectomy deserve to feel happy, healthy, and balanced.
What if I’m postmenopausal?
Women still make hormones after menopause. Yet, many are deficient in their hormones even for menopausal ranges. That's because women enter perimenopause and menopause with pre-existing deficiencies and imbalances due to the effects of stress on our pre-hormone system. When you have a hormone production issue it gets even worse during perimenopause and menopause and that is what is responsible for all of the symptoms.
What if I’m already on hormones?
Even if you're already taking hormones, chances are you're not on the right form, dose, or balance of the actual hormones you need. This is due to many factors including old-fashioned testing, not testing the right things, simplistic approaches to hormone therapy based on conventional, insurance based medicine, doctors not being knowledgeable in women's health. Most women are tested with blood tests or not tested at all and then given a standard protocol that all women get regardless of where her hormones are at. This is why so many women have side effects, increased risk, and leftover symptoms.
Will I need to change my supplements or medications?
Our program is customized to your exact situation. We review all of your supplements and medications and are expertly trained in drug-nutrient-herb interactions and contraindications. We work to streamline and improve the quality of supplements you're currently taking and seamlessly incorporate your current health plan as part of our whole person approach. We also have the knowledge and training to give you guidance and recommendations to improve upon what you're already doing outside the scope of hormones.
What if my doctor already tested my hormones?
Millions of women tell us their doctor tested their hormones and everything came back normal. That's because old-fashioned blood tests only test the hormones that are bound in blood not the total amount of free circulating hormones in the body. You need specialized, advanced testing in order to find out the true levels of all your hormones. In short, the vast majority of doctors aren't testing the right things in the right way to truly identify where your hormones are and what the root cause of any deficiencies or imbalances is.
Do you help with other health issues?
Yes, we take your current health conditions and health history into consideration when creating your custom plans. We provide expert guidance to naturally address any other health issues or symptoms you have that may not be related to hormones, including further lab testing or natural medicines. As naturopathic physicians, we are the highest trained specialists in the world in the reversal and prevention of chronic disease of all kinds and getting to the root cause of them.
How much does it cost?
The investment in all of our programs varies based on the timeline and support that you choose. We decide together on a complimentary 1:1 call what the perfect plan is that will get you the results you're looking for within your budget. We have options ranging from $297 all the way up to $25,000.
Do you take insurance?
Insurance does not cover optimum wellness type programs such as these. We feel strongly that relying on insurance-based medicine, unfortunately, does not give women the healthcare they deserve. We understand that some women don't have the resources to invest in their health beyond what their insurance plan will cover. Therefore, we do have other free and low cost options to empower women with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate their hormone health journey with deeper insight.
What options do I have for payment?
We have a convenient and economical pay-in-full option as well as several payment plan options to fit most situations. These details are discussed extensively on your private one-on-one session at enrollment.
What does the investment cover?
For our comprehensive programs, the investment covers unlimited access to our providers via private messaging, daily, weekly, and monthly one-on-one visits as well as weekly and monthly group support. It also includes multiple sets of advanced lab testing, all evidence-based natural medicines in the form of doctors-grade nutraceuticals (supplements and short-term BHRT if indicated), Mind-Body medicine, a private community, and the technology of our virtual Clinic platform.
How does the guarantee work?
We guarantee that you will see improvement in your symptoms and your lab work within the time frame allotted of our top-tier programs. As long as you have done your part and shown up to the support that's provided and followed our guidance, if you don't see improvement in your symptoms or labs by the end of your program, we will give you a full refund (and receive $1,000 - $3,000 in free labs) or work with you for an extended period of time until you do.
