HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

  • We offer bio-identical, natural (and synthetic, when needed!) options to support estrogen, progesterone, and/or testosterone levels for women to:

    • Manage the common aggravators of perimenopause and menopause

    • Address symptoms not typically viewed as hormonal

    • Be set up for success prior to peri/post-menopause

  • When it comes to weight gain, oftentimes hormonal root causes can be overlooked. Control metabolic dysfunction with many intervention modalities, including bioidentical hormones, GLP-1 peptides (when medically indicated), traditional prescriptions like metformin, holistic and lifestyle medicine.

    Working together, you’ll:

    • Receive results-driven recommendations for better support

    • Feel your best self from treatment to maintenance

  • Microdosed GLP-1 therapy is the practice of providing very low doses of GLP-1 peptides for potential health benefits beyond management of severe metabolic dysfunction. If eligible, consider microdosed glp-1 or other longevity therapy for possible:

    • Metabolic stabilization for mild weight loss

    • Less inflammation (and in turn, less pain)

    • Reduced “food noise”

    • Controlled impulsivity and less addictive behaviors (beyond food)

    • Improved mood

    • More energy and mental clarity

    • And more

  • Women do not have to be menopausal to experience hormonal shifts that impact how they feel. Women too start to lose testosterone in their 30s. Female sex and adrenal hormone levels evolve throughout the lifespan and can be exacerbated by genetics, stress, lifestyle changes, life events like pregnancy and delivery, and more. Comprehensive testing (including Dutch testing, if indicated) can look at how these hormones fluctuate or decline for a more customized treatment plan to:

    • Address changes in menstrual cycle patterns due to PCOS or other disease 

    • Identify root-cause of cyclical symptoms including mood swings, PMS or PMDD

    • Gain hormone insights as part a fertility journey

    • Work up the causes of mid-cycle spotting 

    • Detox excess estrogen that may have gone unnoticed

    • Detect low testosterone levels that may need support

    • Restore hormonal hair loss and boost daily energy

  • At East x West Med, we utilize several classes of thyroid therapy, anti inflammatory medications as well as micronutrient support to treat anything from Hashimotos, functional hypothyroidism, a subclinical condition that is tied to many of the manifestations of thyroid disease.

    Goals of thyroid support include (but are not limited to):

    • Alleviating chronic sluggishness and fatigue

    • Eliminating brain fog and feel sharper

    • Restoring optimal metabolism and body weight 

    • Reducing water retention causing bloating and/or puffiness

    • Identifying root cause of hair loss for more efficient restoration

  • Everybody's body responds differently to stress. Stress can be in the form of tension or emotional demand, poor sleep, metabolic dysfunction, chronic disease, and more.

    Gain insights into adrenal function to:

    • Detect underlying causes of chronic inflammation

    • Improve daily stress levels and response to (realized and unrealized) triggers

    • Manage insomnia without bandaid solutions

    • Recalibrate areas most affected like brain waves, metabolism and gut microbiome

  • We believe men deserve optimal hormone and longevity care as well. For the average male, testosterone production starts to decline in his 30s and symptoms can manifest in ways not typically realized.

    East x West Med can help support functionally-low testosterone with different options for younger and older men to: 

    • Improve symptoms including (but not limited to) poor libido and/or sexual dysfunction, low energy, poor focus, and changes in fat and muscle composition

    • Improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control for overall longevity


HOW WE ADDRESS ROOT CAUSE

Most care stops at the surface—regulating cycles, easing symptoms, checking the box. We go deeper, addressing the underlying drivers so real change can happen.

East x West Med is a boutique telemedicine practice where specialists address the root drivers while also helping you feel better in the present, so progress isn’t postponed until some distant future. Here, we’ve redefined what care looks like. Instead of focusing on isolated visits and one-size-fits-all solutions, our model is built around outcomes—not appointments.

The product you are investing in isn’t just care delivered, but real, measurable shifts in how you feel and function—your energy, your clarity, your metabolic health. The path, program, and therapies to get there is entirely personalized, evolving with you every step of the way.

If you’ve felt dismissed, rushed, or handed generic solutions, this is a different experience. Here, you choose your expert clinician who is extensively trained and experienced in modern hormone medicine and build a relationship that is meant to carry you throughout. Think of it as concierge medicine redefined to be approachable but meaningful. 

Functional, traditional, lifestyle, and longevity-focused medicine each offer powerful tools. Real care means knowing when to use which ones.

Your plan isn’t limited to a single approach, and you’re never given a “take it or leave it” option. Instead, you receive a thoughtful, individualized approach designed around your body, your history, and your goals. At East x West Med, we don’t choose one form of medicine over another; we use all the tools that serve you.

This is healthcare without ultimatums. This is elevated medicine, designed for an elevated you.

Compared to other medical providers I’ve seen in the past, Dr. Robbins goes far beyond the standard level of care. She’s thoughtful, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable, yet still approachable. Every patient would benefit from having her in their corner.

Dr. Torrie Clontz met me at my absolute wits end. I wasn’t sleeping, I felt like I was constantly navigating life through fog, I had zero energy or motivation, and I suddenly disliked everyone around me, especially my husband.

And don’t get me started on the itching: my ears, my skin, everywhere. And it was so much worse during my period which had become unbearable. Torrie listened to me after everyone else made me feel crazy. She offered solutions and workshopped them with me over the last six months to ensure I felt better. I am so grateful to have found her and I finally feel like myself again.
