Hormone & Metabolic Health
Changes in energy, sleep, body composition and sexual health are worth a proper look.
APL offers physician led hormone and metabolic care for women and men across the US, with treatment that fits you and regular follow up.
At a glance
Hormones, blood sugar and body composition are closely linked, so we look at them together and adjust your plan as you go.
Areas of care
Hormones, blood sugar and body composition are closely linked, so we rarely look at one in isolation. Your plan covers whichever of these matter for you.
Perimenopause and menopause can affect much more than your cycle, from hot flashes and night sweats to sleep, energy and quality of life. Your provider looks at your symptoms, history, risk factors and labs, and when it is appropriate, hormone replacement therapy may be part of your plan.
Changes in testosterone often show up alongside changes in energy, strength, body composition, mood, sleep and recovery. We start with a full medical evaluation rather than assuming testosterone therapy is the answer. When it is appropriate, treatment is set up for you individually and monitored over time.
Weight is only one piece of metabolic health. Your team may look at glucose regulation, insulin resistance, body composition and heart health. Treatment can include nutrition and lifestyle support and, when clinically appropriate, prescription medications such as GLP-1 therapies.
Ongoing care
Your provider checks how you are responding, keeps an eye on the relevant labs and safety markers, and adjusts treatment when needed. They will also talk you through the benefits, risks and alternatives before you start.
You can come to us just for hormone care, or move into one of our comprehensive programs if you want broader support.
Weight and metabolic health
GLP-1 medications, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, help regulate appetite and blood sugar. For the right person, they can be a useful part of a weight and metabolic health plan.
Before prescribing, your provider looks at your history, labs and goals. GLP-1 medications are not right for everyone.
They work best alongside nutrition and strength training, which helps protect muscle while you lose fat.
Your provider checks in once you start, so the dose and the rest of your plan can be adjusted.
We talk through side effects and whether this is the right option for you. It is not a shortcut.

Hormone changes often creep in slowly, so many people put the symptoms down to stress or age. These are some of the signs that bring people to us.
Perimenopause can start in your early to mid 40s, sometimes earlier, and last several years. Common signs include irregular periods, hot flashes or night sweats, waking at night, brain fog, mood changes, lower libido, joint aches and weight gain around the middle.
Testosterone tends to decline gradually with age. Signs can include low energy, reduced strength or muscle, more body fat, lower sex drive, poor sleep, irritability and slower recovery from training. Symptoms alone don't confirm it, which is why we test properly first.
Insulin resistance can build for years before blood sugar looks abnormal. Clues include weight gain around the waist, energy crashes after meals, strong sugar cravings and rising blood pressure or triglycerides.
