Getting started with hormone therapy in North Liberty is a simple process. Simply, give us a call to schedule your consultation. At your consultation, we will discuss your symptoms, health goals, medical history, and arrange for any necessary lab tests. Our goal is to guide you through the hormone therapy process and determine whether your treatment should include nutraceuticals or peptides.

Nutraceuticals are active compounds that blend nutrition and pharmaceuticals, helping to support optimal health and provide a variety of benefits. At Iowa Wellness Center, we offer BioTE clinical-grade nutraceuticals to support vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Nutraceutical benefits:

• Increases energy level
• Helps avoid chronic health concerns
• Holistic approach
• Anti-aging effects

Peptides play a crucial role in various biological functions, because they are present in every cell and tissue in your body. Essentially, peptides act as messengers, using the bloodstream to transmit information between tissues. BioTE’s prescription-grade peptides provide health advantages that support hormone optimization.

Peptide benefits:

• Support healthy aging
• Enhance libido
• Improve recovery time
• Increase brain efficiency

Although it isn’t a direct solution, hormone therapy can play a supportive role in weight loss. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt your metabolism, energy levels, and body composition—making weight loss more challenging.

Hormone therapy can restore hormonal balance, enhance your body’s metabolic processes, increase energy, and improve your ability to burn fat. For the best results, we recommend combining hormone therapy with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and our weight loss programs.

The initial pellet insertion is a straightforward process, but there are a few important things to note. That is why we have a comprehensive list of pre and post-care guidelines.

• Avoid blood-thinning medications.
• Stay hydrated the day prior.
• Do not drink alcohol or use tobacco products.
• Tell your provider about your full medical history during the consultation.
• Wear comfortable clothing.
