FAqs

Bioidentical hormones are those with the same chemical structure as naturally occurring hormones in the human body. They are metabolized through the body's normal pathways, avoiding the harmful byproducts associated with chemically different hormones.

At Kaav Medical, we are a cash-based practice. We do not accept insurance plans. Insurance plans don’t cover or reimburse for treatment with a functional medicine approach. However, we do accept HSA payments. Your regular primary care provider will provide screenings and manage care which you prefer to treat with medications. With extensive training through the Academy of Preventive and Innovative Medicine by Worldlink Medical. 

If you are coming to Kaav for medical weight loss, we will do an extensive health history evaluation and discuss how your daily life affects your health. We will decide which options are best for you and your budget. While the current trend of GLP-1 is very effective, there are other options which are less expensive.

If you are coming to Kaav for bio-identical hormone replacement, we will review your health history as well as order labs to see where your hormone levels are and how they affect how you are feeling.

With hormone replacement and weight loss, it depends on which path you choose and how much weight you want to lose. You didn’t get to your current health status in weeks, so expect it to take time to get back to your healthiest self.

YES!! We all love the time saved and convenience of telehealth visits. Most of my patients prefer to meet via telehealth after their first-in person visit.
