How do telehealth appointments work at Glow Health & Wellness?

Telehealth appointments are conducted through a secure video platform. During your visit, our medical provider reviews your symptoms, medical history, and health goals just as they would in person. You will receive clear next steps for labs, prescriptions, and follow-up care. All communication remains private, convenient, and personalized.

IS TELEHEALTH AS EFFECTIVE AS IN-PERSON VISITS AT GLOW?

Absolutely! For hormone therapy, weight loss, and functional medicine, telehealth is just as powerful when guided by us. You’ll have the same 60 minute consult, full lab review, and personalized plan all from the comfort of home. Our telehealth patients in Florida, Alabama, and Arkansas report the same life-changing outcomes as in-office visits, often with more convenience and less stress. Your healing doesn’t need a waiting room.

WHAT DO I NEED FOR A SUCCESSFUL TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENT?

All you need is a quiet space, a smartphone or computer with camera and microphone, and a stable internet connection, that’s it. We’ll send you a secure link 10 minutes before your visit. Have your current medications, recent labs (if any), and symptom journal ready, the more you share, the deeper we can go. We’ll guide you through body measurements at home and order labs to a local lab near you. It’s simple, private, and designed to fit your life.

CAN I GET PRESCRIPTIONS AND LABS THROUGH TELEHEALTH AT GLOW?

Yes. We handle everything seamlessly across Florida, Alabama, and Arkansas. After your consult, we send prescriptions electronically to your preferred pharmacy (including compounded BHRT or GLP-1 meds). Labs are ordered with a digital requisition, you choose a draw site near you.

Can I do hormone therapy entirely through telehealth?

Yes. Our providers can fully manage your hormone therapy through telehealth if you are located in Florida, Alabama, or Arkansas. Virtual visits, ongoing support, lab testing near you, and medication shipping allow for complete management without traveling to the clinic.

Where do I go for lab work?

We send lab orders to a diagnostic location near you, such as LabCorp or another certified facility. Once your results are received, your provider reviews them with you during a follow-up visit and adjusts your treatment plan as needed.

How are medications delivered?

Once your prescription is finalized, medications and necessary supplies are shipped directly to your home. This includes bioidentical hormones, weight loss therapies, peptide treatments, or other prescribed medications based on your plan.

How soon will I start seeing results?

Every person responds differently, but many clients begin noticing improvements in energy, sleep, mood, and focus within a few weeks. Physical changes such as muscle tone and weight improvements may take 8–12 weeks. Your treatment is closely monitored and adjusted to help you reach optimal results as efficiently as possible.

What symptoms can hormone imbalance cause?

Symptoms vary by individual, but common concerns include low energy, decreased libido, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, hot flashes, erectile dysfunction, sleep disturbances, irritability, and changes in muscle mass or body composition. These symptoms are often dismissed as “normal aging,” although they are very treatable.

What is the difference between bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced in the human body, which allows for better compatibility and symptom improvement with fewer side effects. Synthetic hormones differ in molecular structure and may not respond the same way biologically. At Glow Health & Wellness, we utilize bioidentical options tailored to your lab results and goals.

Are hormones safe?

When prescribed thoughtfully, monitored regularly, and used under the guidance of trained professionals, hormone therapy is considered safe and effective. Our providers follow evidence-based protocols and ongoing lab testing to ensure your therapy is optimized for safety and long-term wellness.

What is functional medicine and how is it different from traditional medicine?

Traditional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms. Functional medicine goes deeper to identify and correct the underlying causes of illness or imbalance. We examine hormones, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, lifestyle, and nutrition to provide a comprehensive and individualized approach to health.

What conditions can functional medicine address?

Functional medicine is especially beneficial for concerns such as fatigue, weight gain, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune issues, brain fog, digestive problems, and chronic inflammation. It is a whole-body approach designed to restore optimal function, not simply mask symptoms.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE IN MEN?

Low testosterone shows up in ways that go beyond just feeling “tired.” You might wake up exhausted even after a full night’s sleep, notice stubborn belly fat that won’t budge despite diet and exercise, or feel your libido and confidence slipping away. Many men also experience mood swings, irritability, brain fog, or a frustrating loss of muscle mass no matter how hard they train.

IS BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (BHRT) SAFE FOR MEN?

Yes, when it’s carefully personalized and closely monitored by an experienced APRN, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is not only safe but life-changing. We use plant-based, body-identical testosterone delivered through creams, pellets, or injections — never the risky synthetic versions of the past. Every man in our program gets monthly lab checks and symptom reviews to keep your levels in the perfect “goldilocks zone.” Men just like you report over 70% improvement in energy, mood, strength, and performance within 6 to 12 weeks.

WHAT MAKES MEDICAL WEIGHTLOSS DIFFERENT FROM REGULAR DIETS?

Medical weight loss isn’t about willpower or fad diets — it’s about understanding why your body holds onto weight despite your best efforts. We dig into root causes like hormone imbalances (thyroid, insulin, cortisol), gut health, and genetics using advanced labs and body composition analysis. Your personalized plan might include GLP-1 medications, peptides, nutrition coaching, or hormone optimization

ARE WEIGHTLOSS MEDICATION SAFE LONG TERM?

Yes, when prescribed and monitored by an experienced provider, medications like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) or tirzepatide are safe and highly effective for the right candidates. We start with a full health screening, including labs, to ensure you’re a fit. Over 80% of our patients stay on therapy 6–12+ months with zero serious issues — and many transition off while keeping the weight off.

Do you accept insurance for visits, labs, or medications?

We do not accept insurance for consultations, lab work, or treatment plans. This allows us to focus on detailed, proactive care without insurance limitations. An itemized invoice can be provided for you to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Can I use HSA or FSA for my treatment plan?

Yes. Most services and medications at Glow Health & Wellness are eligible for HSA/FSA payment. Many patients choose this option to help offset their wellness investment.

Are there long-term treatment contracts?

No. You only pay for the services and medications you choose, with no subscription commitment required. Treatment recommendations are based on your health needs and progress, not a contract.

WHAT MAKE GLOW’S ESTHETICS TREATMENTS DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR SPA?

At Glow, your skin is treated like the vital organ it is, not just a surface to polish. We use medical-grade technology and science-backed protocols to address root causes: inflammation, barrier damage, collagen loss, and hormonal skin changes. A HydraFacial isn’t just relaxing, it’s clinically proven to boost hydration by 70% and reduce redness in one session. Every visit includes education, progress tracking, and clean product recommendations so your glow lasts long after you leave. This isn’t just spa day, it’s skin therapy.

HOW DO YOUR FACIALS AND PEELS IMPROVE SKIN HEALTH LOG-TERM?

Our treatments go far beyond surface-level pampering, they rebuild your skin from within. HydraFacials remove debris while infusing antioxidants and peptides that strengthen your barrier and medical-grade peels gently exfoliate to trigger cell turnover and collagen production. Clients see clearer pores, reduced inflammation, and a visible “glow from within” that builds with each visit. We also teach you simple home rituals (clean products, SPF, serums) so your results keep improving between appointments. Healthy skin isn’t a one-time event, it’s a relationship we nurture together.

CAN ESTHETICS HELP WITH HORMONAL SKIN ISSUES LIKE ACNE OR MELASMA?

Yes, and we see it every day. Hormonal shifts (PCOS, perimenopause, stress) often show up as adult acne, dark patches, or dullness, and over-the-counter fixes fall short. We combine targeted facials and custom peels with your medical plan to calm inflammation and balance oil production from the inside out.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Scheduling is simple. You can book online anytime through our website, or call us at 850-876-4735. Our team will help you choose the best visit type and get started with your initial consultation and lab work.
