DOCTOR • GURNEE, IL • MEMBERSHIP BASED CARE

Our Membership Approach

In today’s fast-paced and depersonalized healthcare landscape, we understand your concerns about receiving the time and attention you deserve for your essential medical needs.

Our commitment to personalized, comprehensive care reflects the essence of what medicine should be. It’s about providing an unhurried experience,  guaranteed appointment times, and a dedicated focus on your health and wellness.  Our practice has had the privilege of caring for Gurnee, IL and surrounding areas in Lake County, IL for over two and a half decades, spanning generations, and we are dedicated to continuing to serve as a trusted healthcare provider and advocate.

We are thrilled to offer our patient-focused, highly personalized practice program in Gurnee, IL. This model allows us to spend quality time with our patients, focusing on in-depth issues, disease prevention, and proactive wellness. There’s no substitute for a practice who truly knows you.  As an independent clinic accountable only to your well-being, we can prioritize what’s best for you and you alone.

Membership in our program involves a reasonable annual or monthly fee.

Do I still Need Insurance?

Insurance is not required to access our wellness services, as many of our offerings can be paid for out-of-pocket. However, some clients choose to use their insurance to cover certain services depending on their plan.

We recommend checking with your insurance provider to see if any of our services are covered under your policy. If you have questions or need help navigating insurance options, feel free to reach out to our team, and we’d be happy to assist!

Why Choose Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

– 01​

Build More Muscle Mass & Decrease Fat

Since testosterone is key for building muscle in the body, low testosterone can cause loss of muscle mass and an increase in fat gain. More Testosterone encourages muscle growth while Muscle tissue burns calories at a higher rate than fat tissue.

– 02​

Increase Strength and Power with TRT for Women

For Women with low testosterone, studies show that treatment can decrease fat mass and increase muscle size and strength. It’s likely you’ll see the most benefits when you combine (trt) testosterone replacement therapy with strength training and exercise.

– 03​

Enhance your Sexual Health and Increase Libido

If you are experiencing a low sex drive, it could be because of low testosterone or an imbalance in your hormones. This can have a ripple effect in your life that is less than pleasant, so if you are experiencing this side effect, it’s best that you address it sooner rather than later.

– 04​

Increase Motivation and Overall Mood

“Low T” or Low testosterone can result in a number of mood changes. Hormonal imbalances are often to blame for depression, anxiety, and other mood issues. Fatigue caused by low testosterone can also add to these issues.  Hormone Replacement therapy at Shape the Wave is the solution.

– 05

Improve Mental Clarity and the Ability to Focus

Studies have shown that women who take testosterone tend to experience an increase in memory. Testosterone affects many physical processes – focus, clarity, and memory are no exception. Life issues (sex and relationships) caused by low testosterone can also play a role in the struggle to focus.

– 06​

Boost Energy & Endurance while Reducing Fatigue

Low testosterone can result in a lack of energy. If you find that you’re feeling sleepy for much of the day, even after you’ve had a good night of rest, there’s a high chance that a hormonal imbalance is to blame. Many patients find that their energy levels soar after they begin testosterone therapy.

– 07​

Healthier Heart & Blood

A healthy heart pumps blood to the rest of the body, providing muscles and organs with the oxygen needed for peak performance. Testosterone helps red blood cell production through the bone marrow. Low testosterone levels are linked to a variety of cardiovascular risks.

– 08

Strengthen Bones & Joints

Testosterone plays a huge role in bone mineral density. Bone density decreases as men age and testosterone levels drop. This raises the risk of weak bones and osteoporosis. Strong bones help support your muscles and internal organs, which can boost athletic performance.

– 09

Fertility

Hormone imbalance is a fairly common thing, and many people often go undiagnosed. Those that are able to diagnose low testosterone or hormone imbalance while experiencing fertility issues, however, find themselves living much more pleasant lives without the trouble of the side effects that come along with testosterone imbalance.
