Hormone Therapy for Women
Hormone therapy for women who were told their labs were fine.
Hot flashes at 2 a.m. Weight that will not move no matter how carefully you eat. A short fuse with people you love. Most women hearing this are somewhere in perimenopause or menopause — and most have already been told their bloodwork looks normal. Standard panels are simply too shallow to catch it.
- $299 assessment, credited in full toward your program
- A full hour with your provider, not fifteen minutes
- Labs drawn in our own office in Springfield
- No insurance billing, no contracts, no surprise bill

In their own words
What women tell us on the first visit
“I wake up at 3 a.m. and cannot fall back asleep.”
“I am doing everything right and still gaining weight.”
“I snap at people and I do not feel like myself.”
“The hot flashes and night sweats are constant.”
“My sex drive is just gone.”
“My hair is thinning and my skin changed.”
“I feel anxious for no reason at all.”
“I am exhausted from the moment I wake up.”
Every one of these is measurable. None of them is something you have to live with because someone called it normal.
Drawn at our in-office lab · Walk-in lab draws Mon–Thu 9–3, no appointment needed
What we measure
We measure your hormones instead of guessing at them
A single hormone reading taken on the wrong day tells you almost nothing. We draw a full hormone and metabolic panel at our in-office lab, then read the results as a pattern — because estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and insulin all pull on each other. That is how we find what a basic panel misses.
- Estradiol
- Progesterone
- Total & free testosterone
- FSH & LH
- Full thyroid panel
- Fasting insulin
- Vitamin D
- Cortisol
The full panel — including testosterone for women.
Not a single TSH and not an estrogen-only view. Women get testosterone measured too, which most panels never check.
We treat your symptoms even when your labs read “normal.”
Reference ranges are wide and built from a general population. Sitting inside one while feeling terrible is a finding, not a dead end.
How it works
Three steps to hormones dosed to you.
Your plan is built with you, not handed to you. You see every number, you hear what it means in plain English, and you decide together what to treat.
Step 01
Get the full picture
Your labs are drawn in our office at your Total Health Assessment — no separate trip to an outside lab.
Drawn in our office
Step 02
Sit down and understand it
About ten days later you get a full hour with Teresa, going through every number in plain English until it makes sense.
One full hour
Step 03
Start therapy dosed to you
If bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, or testosterone fits, we start there and adjust from your follow-up labs — never a fixed dose forever.
Adjusted from follow-up labs

In their words
What women in Springfield say after starting hormone therapy
Perimenopause and menopause care is personal, so we would rather let patients describe it than describe it for them. These are public reviews, quoted exactly.
Teresa is Fantastic!! So glad I was able to get in with her. She genuinely cares and is there to help with suggestions and a ton of knowledge. Ladies, get those levels checked correctly, because I’m certain our Commercial doctors are not going that far!!!
I just started working with Teresa and her team and I love them! Teresa is very knowledgeable and talks REAL talk. Providing you a collaborative and safe space for your health care! Midlife menopause care is a journey and I’m glad I’m taking it with Teresa and the THW team.
Cheryl Kelly · Google · April 2024 I saw Teresa last week and I finally feel like there are REAL ANSWERS and REAL HELP!…
Mel C · Google · July 2023 Very knowledgeable. Listened to every issue I had patiently and responded in a way that made me feel like my opinion mattered! Extremely pleased with everyone in her office and can’t wait to get these hormone issues figured out with her leading the way. I have hope and a plan and I’m super grateful for Teresa!
Dayna Rogers · Google · February 2023 I finally made an appointment with her due to major hormonal issues (PCOS, hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, hair loss, etc.). Her assessment and supplement recommendations have changed my life. My hot flashes are subsiding, I’m sleeping better, I’m starting to feel like a fully functioning adult again that doesn’t need caffeine to keep me going throughout the day…
Erin Hardy · Google · October 2022 I am grateful to have been referred to Teresa Mealy for help in balancing my hormones. She is very thorough in testing, which I appreciate. She is knowledgeable, yet she made understanding my results easy. The staff are all pleasant and helpful as well.
Deborah Chateauvert · Google · August 2022 Teresa is extremely knowledgeable on hormones and nutrition. She explains things in a way that is easy to understand and is genuinely concerned about her patients. I greatly appreciate her expertise concerning my health!

Common questions
Questions women ask before starting hormone therapy.
Is bioidentical hormone therapy safe?
Hormone therapy is prescription medical care, so it belongs with a provider who tests you first, doses to your own labs, and rechecks over time — which is exactly how we run it. Teresa reviews your history and your bloodwork before anything is prescribed, and care here is medically supervised in partnership with a board-certified physician. She will walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific situation during your results visit.
How do I know if I am in perimenopause?
Perimenopause can start years before periods stop, and symptoms often show up while standard labs still read as normal. That gap is exactly why we run a deeper panel and read it alongside your symptoms rather than relying on one number.
Do I need insurance for hormone therapy here?
No. We are a direct, cash-pay clinic — no insurance, no copays, no contracts, and no surprise bill later. You know the price before anything happens.
Have a question that is not here? Call (417) 771-5277 and talk to a real person.

One system, not separate problems.
These rarely show up alone. Teresa treats them together, in one plan, rather than as separate departments.
