Eternity Wellness is a wellness and aesthetics clinic in Louisville, and Kasey Hammel is one of its two nurse practitioners. She spent a decade as a neonatal ICU nurse before becoming an APRN, and her focus since has been reproductive health. At Eternity she looks after hormone health, and also does IV hydration, vitamin shots and wellness assessments. Hormone care runs as a set program rather than ordinary office visits, starting with an intake and a full hormone and micronutrient lab panel. Once results are back you meet with two providers to go over them and build a plan, then return at about ten weeks to check progress. The practice ships a three month supply of customized bioidentical hormones to your home, and longer supplies at a lower rate open up after the first six months.

Women First of Louisville is an all-female OB/GYN group that has been in the Baptist Health medical pavilion since 1988, and Dr. Grider joined it in 1998. She still practices obstetrics alongside gynecology, so her patients run from teenagers on contraception through pregnancy and into the menopause transition. What she says she enjoys most in midlife care is walking a woman through the pros and cons of hormone therapy so the choice is her own. The practice is openly cautious about compounded bioidentical hormones and makes the point that plenty of prescription bioidenticals are not compounded at all. Hormones are prescribed as pills, patches, gels, sprays and vaginal products, and bone density screening and blood draws happen in the office. Visits are in person at the single Louisville location, you reach her care team on a direct weekday line or through the FollowMyHealth portal, and she also handles the practice's minimally invasive and robotic surgery.
