Cellular Medicine & HRT Specialists in Northern Colorado

HRT stands for hormone replacement therapy. 

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment for men that replaces hormones that may be lost due to aging, illness, or therapy. HRT can help improve symptoms of testosterone deficiency, such as low libido, fatigue, mood swings, and reduced muscle mass.

HRT is a treatment that helps women with menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and depression. HRT can also help reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer.

The length of time it takes for the effects of testosterone replacement therapy to be seen will vary from person to person. Generally, however, it can take up to six months for the hormone to significantly impact overall health.

Testosterone replacement therapy can help to improve energy levels, sex drive, mood, and overall well-being. However, the full extent of the benefits may take some time to be realized.

You will need to be personally evaluated to determine if you need estrogen blockers while on testosterone therapy. Not everyone needs an estrogen blocker, and it can actually be detrimental to your short-term and long-term health if you are on one and you do not need one. 

Peptides are short proteins composed of just a few amino acids. They play a key role in the body by helping to form proteins and hormones. They are important for many bodily functions, including protein synthesis and cell signaling. Peptides can also be used to treat diseases.

There are a few reasons why you might want to see Lions Optimal Health for peptides instead of buying them online. 

First, peptides are a type of natural supplement that the FDA does not regulate like other medications and supplements. This means that they may not be safe for everyone, and they may not be effective. Lions OpTimal Health can help you determine if peptides are the right choice for you. 

Second, peptides are volatile and require a strict manufacturing and handling process. It is possible that some peptides you can get decent quality products just by ordering from an internet site. But it is also possible you will not receive a good quality product or might even receive a product that contains nothing that it says it does. 

At Lions OpTimal Health, we utilize regulated compound pharmacies that have been vetted by one of the preeminent associations that deal with peptides based on their quality and how they follow standards for purity and testing of stability. 

No, we are not credentialed with any insurance company. 

We have found that many insurance companies disqualify patients who could benefit from the type of treatments we offer based on “treatable levels” that they determine. 

There are plenty of places that are billing insurance for this type of service. I know I worked for one. However, all the insurance companies are starting to tighten what they believe are “treatable levels,” and therefore disqualify patients who could benefit from treatment. 

That is why we don’t work with insurance companies and offer direct payment options, as we want to bring our treatments to everyone who needs them.

Lions OpTimal Health has several options for weight loss programs. 

We do not utilize Phentermine in any of our weight loss programs.  Phentermine is a synthetic stimulant and does not come without risks in its use, as well as typically has sub-optimal long-term results.

Lions OpTimal Health has weight loss plans that include the use of Semaglutide or similar peptides. Please contact us for additional information on the medically directed weight loss options we offer.

The types of treatments to treat chronic fatigue are determined based on lab evaluation and history of your illness in combination with a consult with your provider at Lions OpTimal Health. We create individual treatment plans that focus on your unique needs.

At Lions OpTimal Health, we don’t encourage you to purchase TRT online, although you are free to do what works best for you. 

We have found that online companies advertise low fees upfront but add on additional management feeds that increase your costs. With online companies, we also find that your medication is managed off a template followed by an assistant. Many of these companies profit by trying to sell as many products to as many people as they can without considering your personal situation. 

At Lion’s OpTimal Health, we offer a more personalized and customized experience. Jason manages everything based on YOUR labs and YOUR effect, not a script on a page. 

At Lion's OpTimal Health, you get to work with a medical provider, Jason, with more than a decade of experience in health optimization. He spends thousands of dollars a year to stay up to date with the latest advancements in the realm of HRT, Cellular Medicine Peptide Therapy, and Health Optimization. 

Your treatment is specialized and customized to you, the way medicine should be! 

Jason Schmidthuber, our provider, tells every single patient the same thing: “This is NOT cookie-cutter medicine. If you want this done right, testosterone therapy has to be customized to how your body uptakes and metabolizes it.”

If you have been seen at another clinic and they tell you they give everyone the same dose: LEAVE

The dosage of testosterone should be customized to meet your needs. 

No, at Lions OpTimal Health, we do not offer pellet implants for hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

This is based on the patient results that Jason has observed. Jason has observed that pellet implants for patients who consulted with him after undergoing this therapy with other providers have not seen sustainable effects.

Additionally, the patient’s body seems to identify the pellets as a foreign substance and wants to fight against their presence. Other people develop keloid scars at the incision site, which can be painful and also a cosmetic issue. That is why we don’t recommend this procedure at Lions OpTimal Health.
