About Essence Integrative Care
What does Essence Integrative Care specialize in?
We specialize in hormonal health and optimization for women and men, and medical weight loss. We serve adult patients located in Delaware. Our focus is identifying and addressing the root causes of how you feel, not just managing symptoms.
Do I need a referral?
No referral needed. Book directly through the website.
Hormones & BHRT
What is BHRT?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones molecularly identical to those your body produces, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Every protocol is tailored to your individual lab work, symptoms, and health history.
How do I know if my hormones are out of balance?
Common signs include fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, mood changes, poor sleep, low libido, hot flashes, and night sweats. Many patients have been told their labs are normal but still feel off. We look at optimal levels, not just reference ranges.
Is hormone therapy safe?
When properly prescribed and monitored, yes. Tiffany reviews your full health history and labs before recommending any protocol and monitors your progress throughout treatment.
Do you treat men's hormonal health?
Yes. We offer testosterone optimization for men experiencing fatigue, weight gain, low libido, brain fog, or mood changes. Treatment is personalized based on labs and symptoms.
Medical Weight Loss
What makes your approach to weight loss different?
We treat weight as a medical issue, not a willpower issue. We start with a metabolic and hormonal evaluation to identify what is actually driving weight gain, whether that is insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, or other factors, and build a treatment plan from there.
Getting Started
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first visit is a comprehensive consultation. Tiffany will review your health history, symptoms, and goals. Lab work may be ordered at or before your visit. You will leave with a clear, personalized plan.
How long does it take to see results?
Many patients notice improvements in energy, sleep, and mood within the first few weeks of hormonal optimization. Results vary by individual and treatment. Tiffany will set realistic expectations during your consultation.
Is this a telehealth practice?
Yes. All appointments are conducted virtually. We are currently accepting patients located in Delaware.
Do you accept insurance?
No. Essence Integrative Care is a cash-based practice. This allows us to focus entirely on what is best for you with no insurance restrictions and no compromises. Transparent pricing is provided at the time of booking.
