Hormone Replacement Therapy in Snoqualmie, Bellevue & Issaquah
Fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, low libido — these aren't just "getting older." They're signs your hormones need attention. Dr. Stirrett uses bioidentical HRT and functional medicine to restore balance.

Hormone Optimization for Every Body
Bioidentical HRT for Women
Perimenopause and menopause are not diseases — but the symptoms can be debilitating. Dr. Stirrett uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to restore estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to optimal levels.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to what your body naturally produces — resulting in fewer side effects and better outcomes.
WHAT WE ADDRESS:
- Estrogen and progesterone optimization
- Perimenopause and menopause management
- Low testosterone in women (yes, women need it too)
- Adrenal and cortisol support
- Weight loss resistance related to hormones
- Sleep, mood, energy, and libido restoration
Men's TRT (Testosterone Replacement)
Low testosterone affects energy, strength, body composition, mood, and libido. Dr. Stirrett optimizes testosterone levels using bioidentical therapy combined with comprehensive lab monitoring.
Thyroid Optimization
Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most common — and most missed — causes of weight gain, fatigue, and brain fog. We run comprehensive thyroid panels (not just TSH) and optimize levels functionally, not just to "normal range."
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for Men
Low testosterone is dramatically under-diagnosed in men over 35. Most doctors only check total testosterone and tell you you're "normal" — but normal lab ranges include the bottom 2.5% of the population.
Dr. Stirrett interprets your hormones through a functional medicine lens, looking for optimal ranges — not just avoiding disease. Combined with comprehensive lab monitoring, this approach restores energy, strength, body composition, and quality of life.
WHAT WE ADDRESS:
- Bioidentical testosterone optimization
- Estradiol and SHBG balance to prevent side effects
- Comprehensive lab monitoring (PSA, CBC, lipids)
- Energy, libido, and muscle restoration
- Mood, focus, and motivation improvement
- Pairs well with GLP-1 microdosing for fat loss
Common Symptoms of Low T
Persistent fatigue, low motivation, declining strength, increased belly fat, low libido, brain fog, irritability, and poor sleep — these are signs your testosterone may be sub-optimal even if labs say "normal."
Pairs With GLP-1 Microdosing
Many men benefit dramatically from combining TRT with GLP-1 microdosing. Together they accelerate fat loss while preserving (and often building) lean muscle mass.
Thyroid Optimization
Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most common — and most missed — causes of weight gain, fatigue, and brain fog. Most doctors run only TSH and tell you you're "fine."
We run a full functional thyroid panel and optimize your levels to where you actually feel your best — not just inside a wide reference range built around population averages.
OUR THYROID PANEL INCLUDES:
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
- Free T3 — the active form your cells use
- Free T4 — the precursor your body converts
- Reverse T3 — flags conversion problems
- Thyroid antibodies — screens for Hashimoto's
- Functional interpretation, not just "in range"
Why TSH Alone Is Not Enough
TSH is a screening tool, not a complete picture. Many people with "normal" TSH have low Free T3, high Reverse T3, or thyroid antibodies — meaning the gland is struggling and symptoms are real even when standard labs look fine.
Connects to Weight Loss
An underactive thyroid slows metabolism, increases fatigue, and makes weight loss nearly impossible — no matter how disciplined you are with diet or exercise. Optimizing thyroid is often the missing link.
A Functional Medicine Approach to Hormones — Not Just a Prescription
Most doctors will look at your TSH or testosterone level, tell you it's "normal," and send you home. But "normal" lab ranges include the bottom 2.5% of the population — hardly optimal.
Dr. Stirrett interprets your hormones through a functional medicine lens, looking for optimal ranges — not just avoiding disease. Combined with insulin, inflammation, nutrient, and metabolic markers, we build a complete picture of what's driving your symptoms.
"Your labs are 'normal' but you feel terrible? That's because 'normal' range includes the sickest 10% of the population. I optimize to where you feel your best." — Dr. Stirrett
