About Balanced Hormone Health
Balanced Hormone Health is a private-pay telehealth practice rooted in HRT/BHRT that also offers compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss plans, prescribing compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (often with B vitamins) through partner pharmacies such as Revive and Striker. It also lists a branded Zepbound option. Medications ship to patients, typically made in about a week. Cash-pay only with no insurance billing, though receipts are provided for HSA/HRA accounts. Coverage spans most states; some are excluded depending on the compounding pharmacy used.
