Hormone Health & Wellness is now easy to find, offers more services

Tim Harty, The Business Times

A good-sized waiting room? Didn’t have that.

Good visibility of its business in a corner building, where it’s the only tenant, on a busy street? Didn’t have that.

The ability to expand if needed? Didn’t have that.

But Hormone Health & Wellness has all of those things now. That’s why the business moved to 2241 N. Seventh St. in Grand Junction and opened for business there on Jan. 5.

Most of the moving had to be done during the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day, so Hormone Health & Wellness definitely had something to celebrate to start 2026.

Client Relations Manager/Consultant Ashlie Zimmerman said the move was necessary, because Hormone Health & Wellness had outgrown its space at 1190 Bookcliff Ave., Suite 202, and its lease was up at the end of December.

“We’ve grown business-wise,” she said. “We’ve had to hire more nurses and more clinical staff, and we needed more space, because we’ve taken on other opportunities in the business.

“We’re offering peptides now. We’re also doing bioidentical hormone therapy. We also have additional stuff that we offer: Emsculpt Neo, which is our body contouring package, and then we have a chair for urinary incontinence issues.”

Offering those expanded opportunities required more space, and they are important for growing the client base. Hormone Health & Wellness wants the community to know it focuses on more than just hormones.

“We do other things that people are looking for,” Zimmerman said.

The larger location provides more storage than Hormone Health & Wellness currently needs, because of the 3,800-square-foot basement under the 4,000-square-foot ground floor. And the large waiting room was a nice bonus.

The one thing 2241 N. Seventh St. didn’t have when Hormone Health & Wellness signed the lease was office space. But having an owner with a background in construction led to converting two large rooms into four offices.

“It was more space, but it didn’t come with office space, so we had to create it,” Zimmerman said.

The visibility at 2241 N. Seventh St. was important, too, because being one of several businesses at 1190 Bookcliff Ave. made Hormone Health & Wellness practically invisible to passersby.

Now, people can see the corner building at Seventh Street and Bookcliff Avenue with its large, colorful signage, and it’s obvious: “We’re that corner unit right there,” Zimmerman said. “We have actual visual presence. People will see us with our business logo and everything.

“With the other location, our name was with six other businesses on this little tiny marquee on the corner of the street. Nobody knew we were in that building. So, by being on our own on a busy street with two different, large, business marquees, hopefully that drives business.”

Now that people can readily find Hormone Health & Wellness, they can get to know more about what happens inside.

Dr. Kathy Howe said Hormone Health & Wellness has done hormone pellets since the business began in March 2020.

“We do specifically hormone replacement for female and male patients,” Howe said, “and we have a wide range of ages that we take care of.

“Our focus, we tend to get a lot of women that are kind of peri-menopausal, which is kind of right before menopause and going into menopause And then males in their kind of 40s to 50s that are what we call andropause, kind of where we see men with lower testosterone levels. We have patients that go all the way up to their 80s.

“So, it’s mid 20s to 80 years old, both men and women that we treat.”

Peptides are a recent addition for the business, and Howe said they have “very wide ranges of treating various disease.” She said peptides are not FDA-approved, “so we’re utilizing some things that are up and coming. A lot of physicians are using them across the country.”

Howe added Hormone Health & Wellness addresses various muscular-skeletal disorders with the Emscuplt Neo functional-wellness machine that helps muscle strains, sprains, arthritis and various joints.

“I personally have used it on my shoulders and my hip and have had great results,” she said.

Howe also emphasized that as hormone replacement therapy becomes more popular, the businesses that provide it and other services are not all created equal.

“I think what sets us apart is that we’re excellent at managing pellets,” she said. “I’m a physician, and I’m the medical director, and I look at every single chart and do the dosing on every single chart, and we do labs every single time.

“And I’m physically here, versus some of these clinics that are kind of overseen by physicians that don’t step foot in the office.”

Ultimately, Howe said, the physical presence matters.

“We have something to offer that people need to know about, that’s here locally in the community instead of reaching out to things online,” she said. “Because if you’re gonna go somewhere locally, you’re gonna get actually monitored and managed and cared for properly.”

Zimmerman echoed that sentiment and mentioned Hormone Health and Wellness opened two weeks before COVID hit in 2020, and that didn’t kill the business.

“We are still open,” she said, “because we have something that people need.”

Grand Re-opening for Hormone Health & Wellness

Hormone Health & Wellness has been in its new location, 2241 N. Seventh St., about a month now, and it’s ready to celebrate with a grand re-opening there on Feb. 17, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

The event is open to the public, and the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce will be on hand for a ribbon cutting.
