Not only is she a wealth of knowledge , she is willing to explain it to you in detail and has been very accessible even after my appointment for all of my questions. The amount of time she has spent with me shows me she really cares and has given me hope. I am already feeling better and now both my folks are going to her!

"Can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr.Andarcia… after experiencing a year filled with 3 miscarriages I reached out because I wanted a different approach to my health. I have generally always been healthy and have no chronic issues so I felt blown off by traditional approaches. Dr. Andarcia listened to my concerns and really evaluated and identified where things were falling short for me at a molecular level. After a couple of months of small lifestyle adjustments and enhancing my vitamin regimen I again became pregnant and am now 31 weeks. So grateful for Dr. Andarcia’s personalized approach to my health and look forward to continuing follow up with her long term. Highly recommend!"

Sarasota Bioidentical Hormone Therapy FAQs
Who Can Benefit from Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?
If you want to regulate your hormone levels for increased vitality and achieve a better quality of life, receiving hormone replacement therapy at our Sarasota longevity health center may be a good option for your long-term health. Whether you’re coping with age-related changes or specific medical issues, HRT can help you achieve more balance and energy.
What Is The Difference Between HRT and Bio Identical HRT?
Traditional HRT uses synthetic hormones or those from animals that aren’t identical to those in your body, but they’re FDA-approved, regulated, and widely available. Bioidentical hormones match the ones in your body and are sourced from plants like soy or yams. Both types of HRT therapy reduce hormone imbalances.
How Much Does Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy Cost In Sarasota, FL?
The cost of bio-identical hormone therapy depends on your insurance coverage, the complexity and type of therapy, the cost of lab testing, and the HRT treatments involved.
What are the risks of bioidentical hormones?
When properly monitored by their physician, biomedical hormones are used safely by both men and women. The Cleveland Clinic reports that FDA-approved bioidentical hormones have passed safety testing, and other studies show that there has not been an increase in chronic diseases when BHRT is administered correctly. It's normal for some people to experience some side effects like fluid retention or mood changes when beginning hormone therapy, but these are manageable, and your dosage can be adjusted by your doctor.
Who is not a candidate for bioidentical hormones?
If you have a history of breast or endometrial cancer, or strokes, a functional medicine doctor will likely recommend that you avoid bioidentical hormone therapy. People with blood clotting disorders, active liver disease, or unexplained vaginal bleeding may be guided to other types of treatment due to their risk factors.
Does insurance cover bioidentical hormones?
Insurance coverage for bioidentical hormone therapy varies. So our attention can be placed on providing you with proper care. Reveal Vitality doesn’t accept insurance or file insurance claims. But you can ask us for an itemized invoice and submit it to your insurer for possible repayment.
Why am I gaining weight on bioidentical hormones?
Weight gain during bioidentical hormone therapy may occur due to temporary fluid retention, appetite changes, or when your metabolic system is adjusting. Your body may be finding its new rhythm, but a review of your hormone levels with your doctor can help to minimize these effects.
