Testimonials
Unlike many physicians that look at only the part of the body directly involved in the problem, Joya understands how all of the bodies systems work together. Because of this thorough understanding, she is able to make recommendations that help restore a person to optimal function. It is exceedingly rare to find a healthcare provider with the intelligence, compassion, expertise and integrity of Joya. I have referred family members to her and will continue to do so.”

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Aging doesn’t have to mean having bothersome symptoms! Sound familiar? Fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, irritable bowels, dry skin and hair loss, lower libido, moody, depressed, memory loss, or poor concentration are common as you age, but they don’t have to be. Many times, the root cause of these symptoms can be hormonal imbalance! This can happen as you age, but also as a result of environmental or dietary toxins. But, you don’t have to live this way!
- Produced naturally in various glands throughout our body
- Most commonly include estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, and DHEA
- Hormones regulate many of our body functions so when you produce too little or too much of these hormones, you can experience symptoms like those listed above
- Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and are chemically identical to those made in our bodies. BHRT is prescribed specifically for your body based on your testing and your symptoms
- Treatment typically includes a taylored combination of creams, pills, and/or troches/lozenges, again, depending on your specific needs. Some people need this therapy indefinitely, and some people need it for a shorter time
- Testing: for women, I typically use urine testing (which measures not only hormones, but also hormone metabolites, enabling me to better assess your risk [for cancer, for example] in terms of how you metabolize your hormones). For men, I typically measure hormones in the blood
- Ongoing evaluations – I require a minimum of 1-2 visits per year while I’m managing BHRT, including at least one hormone test per year
- I only use quality compounding pharmacies
- Highest quality supplements
- Exercise, Nutrition, and Stress Management recommendations
For my typical female patient, they pay around $200-250 for a 3 month supply of their topical/oral hormones (including estrogen, plus testosterone and DHEA if needed) and progesterone. For my male patients, it’s usually less, around $90-100 for a 3 month supply of testosterone cream.
Bioidentical hormone therapy has a few potential side effects (usually linked to dosage), which may include increased acne or irritability for men and women. Some women may experience breast tenderness or spotting. It’s really important to communicate with me if you’re experiencing any side effects so that I can adjust your dose – after all, the goal is to get you feeling better, not worse!
Typically patients are happier with the bioidentical hormones for a number of reasons:
- Ability to fine-tune the dose to the individual’s needs
- With traditional synthetic prescription hormones, there are only certain dose strengths that can be prescribed
- They feel safer taking them since they are identical in structure to their own, natural hormones
- Since they are identical to our own hormones, our body has the ability to process and detoxify them properly
“Physiological data and clinical outcomes demonstrate that bioidentical hormones are associated with lower risks, including the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, and are more efficacious than their synthetic and animal-derived counterparts,” according to this report.

Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy’s many benefits include improving the immune system, reversing damage to brain tissue, reducing the risk of repeat heart attacks, detoxification, healing chronic wounds, pain relief, repairing stem cells, cellular oxygenation, and improving skin health. IV ozone therapy is available for $330 at your location, while ozone insufflation therapy—blown directly into ear, nose, or rectum—is available in-office (or at your location in conjunction with other treatments) for $55.
Most patients see better results through multiple sessions. Save 10% or more by purchasing a multi-session package!
IV Detox and Chelation Therapy
Whether it’s mold, heavy metals, or other toxins, IV chelation or detoxification using glutathione, EDTA, and other compounds can be a powerful way to detoxify your body and help relieve a variety of symptoms. Chelation therapy has actually been shown to improve cardiovascular health, and is often used in conjunction with other biomedical therapies for individuals with autism. $275 per treatment.
MLS Laser Therapy
While laser therapy is not yet covered by traditional insurance, it is affordable for most patients: $90 for initial evaluation for laser treatment, then $175 per treatment (1 area). Add a second area to the treatment for $50 per session. Click here for more information.

Trigger Point Injections
Treat painful areas of muscle that contain trigger points (think of knots in the muscle) which form when muscles do not relax. Generally I use a numbing medication to numb the pain while the effects of the injection continue work after the appointment. Pricing starts at $165 per session for up to 10 injection sites.
Blood Draws
$85 for a blood draw appointment. $50 for blood draw as part of another scheduled appointment.
Outside Medical Record or Laboratory Review
Outside Medical Record or Laboratory Review: $280 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments. Does not apply to labs ordered by Nourish House Calls.
Insurance Reimbursement
While I do not bill or communicate with insurance companies, I do offer superbills to all patients (excluding Medicare and Medicaid), allowing them to easily and independently submit the claim to their insurance company. Generally patients get a portion of the cost of the visit reimbursed to them after the visit.
Labs and imaging (CT scans, x-rays, MRIs, Ultrasounds, bone scans, mammograms, etc) are covered by your insurance in the same way and to the same extent as they are covered by any in-network provider who bills insurance.
