Benefits, Process & Programs

Do You Recognize Yourself Here?

Hormone imbalance is rarely dramatic. It's the slow accumulation of symptoms that each seems explainable on its own, until you realize they all point to the same root cause.

Men: Common Signs of Imbalance

Persistent fatigue that sleep doesn't resolve
Loss of muscle mass despite regular exercise
Abdominal fat gain that won't respond to diet
Declining libido or sexual performance
Brain fog, poor concentration, and memory lapses
Mood changes, irritability, or low motivation
Difficulty sleeping or poor sleep quality
Reduced strength and athletic recovery
Loss of competitive drive or sense of purpose

Experiencing more than three of these symptoms is clinically significant. It's time to look at the full hormonal picture.

Our Hormone Quiz takes 2 minutes and gives you a personalized assessment, along with your recommended next step.

Your Lab Panel

What We Test. Why It Matters.

Your conventional doctor likely ran TSH and total testosterone. We order a complete panel because treating hormones without full context is guesswork.

Common Questions

What Patients Ask Us Most.

What's the difference between "normal" and "optimal" hormone levels?
+
-

Lab reference ranges reflect the average population, which includes a large number of people who are symptomatic, sedentary, or aging without optimization. At Arbour Longevity, we target the range at which patients consistently report peak energy, clarity, and performance. That range is often significantly higher than what a conventional provider considers acceptable.

Is hormone therapy safe?
+
-

When prescribed and monitored by a qualified clinician, bioidentical hormone therapy has an a strong safety record when monitored. Every Arbour Longevity patient receives regular lab monitoring to ensure levels remain in the optimal and safe range. We never set and forget. Ongoing oversight is built into every protocol.

Do you offer testosterone therapy for women?
+
-

Absolutely. Low testosterone in women is one of the most underdiagnosed contributors to fatigue, low libido, cognitive decline, and muscle loss. Our female hormone protocols include testosterone alongside estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, and thyroid, the complete picture that most providers miss.

How long before I feel results?
+
-

Most patients notice initial improvements in energy and sleep within 2–4 weeks. Libido, body composition, and cognitive changes typically become evident at 6–12 weeks. Full optimization, where all biomarkers and symptoms align, generally occurs at 3–6 months with appropriate protocol adjustments along the way.

Do you accept insurance?
+
-

Arbour Longevity operates as a cash-pay practice, which allows us to provide the depth of care and personalization that insurance-based medicine cannot accommodate. We accept HSA and FSA funds, and provide detailed receipts for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Lab orders are sent to LabCorp or Quest, where many patients have partial coverage.

Can I do my consultation via telehealth?
+
-

Yes. Initial consultations and follow-up appointments are available via telehealth for patients throughout Michigan. Lab work is ordered to your nearest LabCorp or Quest location. Procedures requiring in-person visits, such as pellet insertion, are performed at our Ann Arbor clinic.
