Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Women | Concierge Care Jacksonville

At Integra Wellness & Aesthetics in Jacksonville, we offer more than routine checkups; we provide compassionate, physician-led care designed to support every stage of a woman’s health journey. Led by Dr. Paul A. Busse, a board-certified Family Medicine physician with over 21 years of clinical experience, our approach focuses on whole-body wellness, hormonal balance, and long-term vitality.

Our concierge model means you receive care that is unhurried, deeply personalized, and grounded in a trusted relationship with your physician. Whether you're navigating hormonal shifts in your 40s or seeking proactive support for mood, metabolism, or aging, you're never treated like a number.

Serving women throughout Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Ponte Vedra, our patient-first care is rooted in expertise, empathy, and connection.

Common Health Changes Women Face, And What They Signal

Women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s often experience subtle but disruptive changes to their daily health. These may include:

Ongoing fatigue
Brain fog or forgetfulness
Sleep disruptions or night sweats
Mood instability or anxiety
Changes in libido
Weight gain despite healthy habits
Irregular or heavy cycles

These shifts are not “normal aging” to overlook. They often indicate hormonal imbalances, especially around perimenopause and menopause, that deserve precise diagnosis and thoughtful treatment.

At Integra, we look beyond surface symptoms to uncover the root causes affecting your energy, mood, metabolism, and quality of life.

Understanding Hormone Imbalance in Midlife and Beyond

Hormones act as messengers regulating your metabolism, emotions, cognition, sexual health, and more. When levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, or cortisol fall out of alignment, women may experience:

Hot flashes and night sweats
Low libido and vaginal dryness
Weight fluctuation, especially around the midsection
Anxiety or depressive episodes
Sleep difficulty or early morning wakeups
Hair thinning or skin changes

These patterns often begin during perimenopause (typically in your late 30s to 40s), intensify through menopause, and continue into the postmenopausal years.

Rather than masking symptoms, we take a root-cause approach to restore natural hormone equilibrium through comprehensive testing and individualized treatment plans.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): A Natural, Customized Solution

At Integra, we specialize in Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), a gentle, plant-derived therapy that mirrors your body’s own hormones on a molecular level. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones integrate more naturally with your system and support smoother, more predictable symptom relief.

What Makes BHRT Different?

Customized to your labs and symptoms
Derived from plant sources
Structurally identical to your natural hormones
Supervised directly by Dr. Busse for safety and efficacy

Many of our patients benefit from Biote® subcutaneous hormone pellets, which are inserted under the skin and offer steady, sustained hormone delivery without daily pills or messy creams.

The Integra Process: Concierge Hormonal Health from the Inside Out

Your journey with hormone care at Integra is personalized from the very first step. Here’s how we approach your long-term wellness:

Step 1: Advanced Testing

We begin with comprehensive hormone panels, assessing estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, cortisol, and metabolic markers, to map your current health.

Step 2: Root-Cause Evaluation

Dr. Busse carefully reviews your medical history, symptoms, life stage, and test results to understand the true source of your imbalances.

Step 3: Bespoke Treatment Plan

We craft a plan based on your body’s needs, often including BHRT via pellets, creams, or topical applications, alongside lifestyle, nutrition, and supplement support.

Step 4: Ongoing Concierge Support

With unhurried follow-ups, direct messaging, and longer visits, you’ll never feel rushed or unheard. Your care evolves with you, at every stage of life.

Conditions We Commonly Treat Through BHRT and Integrated Women’s Health

Each treatment is doctor-led, safe, and customized, giving you a path toward greater balance, clarity, and vitality, without the confusion of fragmented or generic care.

Supporting Mental Health and Mood Through Hormone-Aware Care

Emotional shifts during perimenopause and menopause are not imagined, and they are not isolated from your physical health. Mood instability, anxiety, tearfulness, irritability, and even depression can all arise from hormonal changes, particularly as estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol fluctuate.

At Integra, we integrate mental and physical wellness by:

Identifying how hormone imbalance may be impacting your mental clarity and mood
Offering compassionate, trauma-informed care for women experiencing life transitions
Exploring non-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical support options when appropriate
Encouraging open, stigma-free conversations around emotional health

We believe mental wellness is a core part of women’s health, not a separate silo.

Weight, Energy, and Metabolism: How Hormones Influence Your Vitality

If you’re exercising regularly and eating well yet still feel sluggish, foggy, or stuck at the same weight, your hormones may be working against your efforts.

Hormones like insulin, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid, and testosterone impact:

Your ability to build lean muscle
How your body stores or burns fat
Energy production and blood sugar regulation
Sleep quality and appetite control

Through personalized hormonal support, nutrition coaching, and lab-driven insight, we help you reconnect with sustainable vitality, without crash diets, stimulants, or guesswork.

Preventive Screenings and Comprehensive Wellness Exams for Women

Our concierge model allows time for more thorough, proactive, and preventive care. Your annual wellness plan may include:

In-depth hormone and metabolic panels
Thyroid and adrenal testing
Pap smears and cervical cancer screening
Mammograms or breast health referrals
Bone density scans (DEXA)
Cardiovascular and inflammation markers
Gut health assessments (where applicable)

Unlike rushed primary care visits, we take the time to understand the why behind your symptoms and proactively protect your long-term health.

Affirming, Inclusive Care for Every Woman

At Integra, we understand that women’s health must be inclusive, not one-size-fits-all. We offer:

LGBTQ+ affirming care, including hormone-aware support for trans and non-binary individuals assigned female at birth
Culturally aware communication that respects each woman’s background, identity, and values
Spanish-speaking care through Dr. Paul A. Busse, ensuring trust for our Latina patients
Trauma-informed medical visits with consent-centered communication

You deserve a provider who sees the whole you, and that’s what you’ll find here.
