We all lead busy lives and feeling tired, lacking energy, and losing strength might feel a natural decline of both age and lifestyle demands. Yet nurse practitioner and owner of The TRT Spot, Makenna Montgomery, says it doesn't have to be that way. If your fatigue persists, or brain fog never seems to fade, your issues might be hormonal. Makenna, along with nurse Richard Smith, say that too many people are told that this is normal and nothing can be done. 'We need to redefine what aging looks like.' says Makenna.
Women in particular, who face the symptoms of post pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause, are often left feeling that the downhill trend is just to be expected. Makenna says that after ten years working in hormone replacement and the last six years as a nurse practitioner, that she felt a calling to be more 'hands on and intentional in all aspects of patient care'. Makenna says that women don't necessarily have to wait for something to start to go wrong either, she says 'we can always do something better.'
Makenna says she deals with 'all ages, all types, all activity levels' and that those who come into her office are treated not merely as patients, but as family. 'We are not looking purely at the physical but at the full picture.' she says. That full picture begins with blood work done in office and all aspects of health are considered. 'We are not a typical provider, we don't put a bandaid on things - we get to the root of the problem.'
The more individualized approach means you are aiming for the best version of you, rather than what is 'normal' for most women. The range of average is quite deceptive, explains Makenna, as this doesn't mean you are optimizing your health. Makenna adds that these days we have more information, more options, and more treatments than ever before. Meaning, that not only can a plan be more tailored to the person but also be more affordable as well.
'We don't give you more than you need, we don't upsell you.' says Richard. Makenna chimes in stating, 'we keep it affordable and realistic.' At The TRT Spot, Makenna and Richard seek to create a balance and fine tuning of hormones that when managed appropriately have no side effects. In addition to hormone treatments they provide vitamin therapy, peptides, supplements, and medically managed weight loss treatments.
Makenna says it is amazing how disruptive to life a degradation in mental clarity, sleep, libido, and stress can be. She has seen patients not only enhance every area of their health but in their life too. In some cases, patients have seen improvement at their job and even in their marriages. 'We get a baseline and then we aim for as close to the best we can get them to.' says Makenna.
To have such a variety of options and treatments within reach and the possibility of achieving our best self, why wouldn't anyone go for it? The TRT Spot is located inside Lavish Studios in suite #27.
