Frequently Asked Questions

What symptoms indicate metabolic issues?

Fatigue, unexplained weight changes (gain or loss), mood swings, sleep problems, temperature sensitivity (always cold or hot), and difficulty losing weight despite efforts.

How long until I feel better?

Some patients notice improvement within weeks, particularly with thyroid optimization. Full metabolic optimization typically takes 3-6 months of consistent treatment and lifestyle modification.

Are hormone treatments safe?

When properly monitored with regular blood testing and prescribed by experienced physicians, bioidentical hormone treatments have established safety profiles.

Can I manage treatment from home?

Yes, after your initial in-person assessment in Turkey, most ongoing care is via telemedicine consultations with periodic blood testing at local labs.

What tests are typically included?

Comprehensive panels include: thyroid (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone), metabolic markers (insulin, glucose), vitamin levels (D, B12), and inflammatory markers.

Do I need to stay in Turkey long-term?

No, 3-5 days is sufficient for initial comprehensive assessment and testing. Follow-up is managed remotely with telemedicine and local lab work.

Will insurance cover this?

Coverage varies widely by country and policy. Many international patients pay out-of-pocket because the savings compared to home-country prices are substantial.

How often are follow-up tests needed?

Typically every 6-12 weeks during initial optimization phase. Once levels are stable and symptoms improved, testing moves to quarterly intervals.
