Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for HRT?
Men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance — such as fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, or reduced vitality — may be candidates. A comprehensive blood panel and medical evaluation will determine if HRT is right for you.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvements in energy and mood within 2–4 weeks. Full optimization typically occurs over 2–3 months as your protocol is fine-tuned based on follow-up lab work.
Are there side effects?
When properly monitored by experienced providers, side effects are minimal. Our team closely tracks your levels and adjusts your protocol to ensure safety and comfort.
How long does treatment last?
HRT is typically an ongoing therapy. Our bioidentical hormone pellets last 3–5 months on average for both men and women, after which they are replaced to maintain steady hormone levels. Many patients continue treatment long-term to sustain optimal energy, mood, and quality of life. Your provider will discuss the right timeline for you.
Is the initial consultation free?
Yes. Your first consultation is complimentary and includes a thorough discussion of your symptoms, health history, and treatment options — with no obligation to proceed.

What Our Patients Say
Based on 190+ patient reviews on Google & Yelp
"NP Lindsay Short and OC Weight Loss Center has changed my life! After an adverse reaction I ended up with estrogen dominance and my testosterone levels tanked causing me to gain 40 pounds. She introduced me to testosterone pellets. Since starting HRT, I have motivation, my muscle tone is back, I have hair growth again, my libido is back, I am clearheaded."

Google Review
"When it comes to HRT, Lindsay is incredibly informative and honest about what will actually benefit you versus what would just waste your money. Since starting HRT with her, I have so much more energy, my skin looks great, my body doesn't feel constantly tired, and I'm sleeping like a baby again. She's one in a million!"

Google Review
"I go here for IPL lasers and also went here to get labs and Lindsay gave me so much insight on why I've been feeling 'off.' I literally can't say enough good things about this place. All the staff is warm and welcoming. Out of all the med spas this one hands down is the best. 10/10 I will always recommend!"
