FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
If you cannot find the answer to your question here, or elsewhere on the website, please contact us!
Step 1: Free Educational Consultation
Have you ever felt like your body was trying to tell you something — but you didn’t know where to start? This first step is all about having an open, no-pressure conversation. You’ll meet with someone who genuinely listens, and together, you'll explore what’s been going on and what testing options might support your journey to feeling better.
Step 2: Your Personalized Wellness Plan
Once we have your lab results, you’ll sit down with one of our trusted APRNs who will walk you through everything — clearly and compassionately. From there, we’ll create a plan that’s just for you. No cookie-cutter solutions here — only deeply personalized care designed with your unique body and needs in mind.
Step 3: Transformational Continuous Care
This is where real change happens. Our commitment to you doesn’t end with a plan — it’s just beginning. You’ll have a dedicated team by your side, passionate about helping you feel your best every single day. We’re in this with you for the long haul.
At MedStudio, your story matters.
We believe in thoughtful conversations, not rushed decisions. That’s why your free educational consultation is such a powerful first step — a safe space to learn, ask, and choose the testing that feels right for you. From there, we craft a one-of-a-kind plan that honors your body, your goals, and your life.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. And the best part? You don’t have to stay where you are. There's a better way forward — and it starts right here.
What Kind of Healing Do You Want?
Have you ever left a healthcare visit with a prescription but still felt like something deeper wasn’t being addressed? That’s the difference between transactional care and transformational care.
At MedStudio®, we believe real healing happens when you’re seen, heard, and supported—not rushed in and out. Let’s look at how these two paths differ and why one may change your life in ways you never imagined.
Transactional Care: A Quick Fix for Right Now
What it is: Transactional care is designed to treat the symptoms that are right in front of you. It’s fast, convenient, and focuses on immediate relief—but rarely looks deeper.
What it looks like:
- In-and-out visits (think walk-in clinics or urgent care)
- A quick fix for the current issue
- Prescriptions and short-term solutions
- Minimal time to dig into what’s really going on
Real-life example: You come in with a UTI. You’re handed antibiotics, and off you go. But no one stops to ask, “Why does this keep happening?”
Why people choose it: It’s efficient and helpful when something urgent pops up. But if the same problem keeps returning… it may not be enough.
Transformational Care: A Path to True, Lasting Wellness
What it is: Transformational care looks beyond symptoms and gets to the heart of what’s really going on. It’s a partnership between you and your provider—built on trust, curiosity, and your body’s wisdom.
What it feels like:
- Longer, more thoughtful appointments
- Deeply personalized care tailored to you
- Exploring root causes like hormones, nutrition, stress, and lifestyle
- A deep sense of being truly understood
Real-life example: Instead of just treating the UTI, we look at your hormones, your habits, your whole health picture—and help you build a plan to stop them from coming back.
Why it matters: It’s not just about feeling better today—it’s about creating health that lasts.
You Deserve More Than Just a Prescription
Both types of care have their place—but if you're looking to understand your body, feel empowered, and finally break free from recurring symptoms, transformational MedStudio® care may be the path that changes everything.

We partner with several different lab companies and costs depend on the type of testing you need (blood, saliva, urine, stool, hair) or what you want to test for.

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON LAB TESTING or LAB TESTING REVIEW SERVICES.
Peri-menopause is the time frame before menopause when period changes start to happen. This can be anywhere from 2-20 years before a woman’s last menstrual period.
Menopause comes next, the end of the menstrual periods. You have officially entered menopause after 12 months with no period. Month 13 = menopause.
Post-menopause follows menopause and lasts for the rest of a woman’s life.
The average age for the last period has fallen over the years and the current age is 51.
Your Journey. Your Healing. Your Way.
Every body is different—and so is every journey. Many people start noticing positive changes like better sleep, lifted moods, more energy, or fewer hot flashes within the first few weeks. For some, it’s even faster.
While hormone optimization is a process that unfolds over time—usually a few months—it’s a deeply personal and powerful transformation. Increased sex drive may take a little longer, but it does happen. Hang in there—your body is just getting started.
