What can I expect during my first hormone optimization consultation?

During your initial visit, Dr. Ludlow spends time getting to understand your needs. He reviews your personal and family medical history and can address any questions or concerns you have about your physical, mental, and sexual health.

As part of your initial evaluation, Dr. Ludlow performs a physical exam and notes important information about your current health, including your:

• Weight
• Height
• Temperature
• Blood pressure
• Heart and lung function

He discusses your diet, exercise, and sleep habits to determine if you would benefit from resources to improve your quality of life.

Will I need blood work during a hormone optimization evaluation?

Dr. Ludlow will likely suggest blood work and other diagnostic tests to further evaluate your health and your health needs.

Dr. Ludlow might request blood work as a preventive screening for heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol. He can also evaluate your testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and other hormone levels through blood testing.

He may also order other diagnostic tests if you have new symptoms to determine the cause.
