What it is
More than treating a deficiency — optimization for vitality
A physician-supervised program that restores hormonal balance using bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone — compounds molecularly identical to those your body naturally produces.
Rather than simply treating deficiency, Axiva focuses on proactive optimization for vitality, sexual wellness, and longevity. Each program begins with a female-specific hormone panel and wellness assessment, followed by a personalized protocol using your choice of quarterly pellet implants or non-pellet gels, creams, or tablets. Continuous monitoring and dosage adjustments keep your plan safe and effective as it evolves with you through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

01How does a program begin?
Every program starts with a female-specific hormone panel (CBC, metabolic, thyroid, vitamin D, sex hormones, and more) and a full wellness assessment. That baseline establishes safety and shapes a protocol built around your physiology — not a template.

Hormone tracking and wellness evaluations happen every 6–8 weeks for both pellet and non-pellet therapy, with continuous medical consultations and dosage adjustments based on your results and individual response.
03Are the hormones bioidentical?
Yes. Axiva uses only bioidentical options — plant-derived compounds chemically identical to those your body naturally produces, compounded to match your estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone structure for optimal absorption — in both pellet and non-pellet therapies.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What are bioidentical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are plant-derived compounds chemically identical to those your body naturally produces, compounded to match your estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone structure for optimal absorption. Axiva uses only bioidentical options in both pellet and non-pellet therapies.
How is pricing structured, and do you take insurance?
Pricing is transparent: a one-time female testing panel is required before starting therapy, plus a monthly membership covering all hormone medications, ongoing lab work, consultations, dosage adjustments, and support. We do not accept insurance — that choice lets us offer more personalized, optimization-focused care. We review every detail with you before you decide.
Can I switch between pellet and non-pellet therapy?
Yes. You can transition between pellet and non-pellet therapy at any point. Because both methods follow the same testing and monitoring standards, switching is straightforward and fully supported by your provider.
How long will I need treatment?
It depends on your goals and health. Some women use therapy short-term to manage symptoms, while many choose long-term optimization to maintain vitality as hormone levels naturally decline. Your plan is reevaluated regularly.
How do you monitor my progress?
Progress is tracked through regular hormone panels, wellness evaluations, and vitality assessments, reviewed every 6–8 weeks. Based on your results we adjust dosage, timing, or add supportive strategies so your plan evolves with you.
