Hormone Therapy in Tooele, Utah
A lab result inside the reference range tells you that you resemble the population the range was built from. It does not tell you that you feel well. Plenty of people are told their numbers are normal while they sleep badly, lose muscle, gain weight around the middle and stop recognizing their own moods. Normal isn't the same as optimal, and symptoms count as data.
At Skin Deep RX, hormone therapy starts with a full conversation and a real blood panel, and continues with adjustments until the treatment is actually working. Care is provided by Julee Baird Kimball, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with more than a decade in patient care and advanced training in bioidentical hormone therapy.
Who We Treat
Women in perimenopause and menopause. Hot flashes and night sweats get the attention, but the symptoms that wear people down are often quieter: waking at 3 a.m., anxiety that wasn't there before, brain fog, joint aches, low libido, vaginal dryness. Read more about menopause and perimenopause care.
Men with low testosterone. Fatigue, low drive, loss of strength, slower recovery, a shorter fuse. These have many causes, and low testosterone is one we can test for properly. Read more about low testosterone treatment.
People already on hormones who aren't being monitored. If you've been on the same dose for years without anyone rechecking your labs, that's worth fixing.
How Treatment Works
-
Consultation. Your symptoms, history, medications and goals. This is the part rushed clinics skip.
-
Labs. A serum blood panel matched to your situation. We don't use saliva testing, because saliva levels don't reliably reflect what your tissues are seeing.
-
A plan. Built on your labs and how you feel, not on a template.
-
Follow-up and adjustment. The first dose is a starting point. We recheck, listen, and adjust. Finding the right dose usually takes more than one try, and that's normal.
What We Prescribe
Bioidentical hormones, molecularly identical to the ones your body makes, delivered as creams or injections. How bioidentical therapy works, and why we chose these forms.
We do not use hormone pellets. A pellet is implanted under the skin and releases hormone for three to six months. If the dose is wrong, it can't be lowered until the pellet wears off. Because getting a dose right is an iterative process, we use forms we can adjust at the next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral? No. You can book directly.
Do you take insurance? No. We're cash-pay, so pricing is stated upfront and there are no surprise bills.
How soon will I feel different? It depends on the hormone and the person. Some symptoms, like sleep and hot flashes, often improve within weeks. Others take a few months and at least one dose adjustment. Julee will tell you what to expect for your plan.
Are bioidentical hormones safer than other hormones? Not automatically. "Bioidentical" describes the molecule, not the safety. What matters is which hormone, what dose, how it's delivered, and whether you're monitored. We explain this on our bioidentical hormone therapy page.
