About True Life Medicine

What is True Life Medicine?

True Life Medicine is a functional medicine practice with offices in Woodland Park and Colorado Springs, Colorado. It offers four services: hormone testing and evaluation, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using customized formulations, personalized nutrition and lifestyle support, and stress and sleep optimization. Much of the clinic's writing focuses on weight loss and women's hormones.

The practice is built around two programs. Direct Primary Care is primary care for all ages with a functional medicine approach, and patients can reach the team by text, email, phone or in person. Specialty Functional Medicine is aimed at a specific condition. In its own words: "A doctor who listens, creates a personalized plan." The clinic does not name the person who prescribes. Patient reviews on Google mention a Dr. James, but the clinic's own pages do not say who writes prescriptions, so ask. The clinic has a 4.5 Google rating from 34 reviews.

This listing is for its Colorado Springs office at 2950 Professional Pl #145b.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices. The one stated step is a Free Discovery Call, described as a 15-minute conversation. It does not state a fee for the first appointment, where it says it orders lab work and builds a health plan. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted or whether any monthly fee includes medication. Ask for the full cost of the first visit, the labs, and follow-up before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask who will write any prescription, what their credentials are, and whether that person is the one you will see for follow-up. If hormone therapy interests you, ask whether the formulations are compounded, who makes them, and whether the medication is brand-name or custom-mixed.

Then ask about money. Get the price of the first appointment, the lab panels, each follow-up visit, and any medication, in writing. Ask whether the program is a monthly membership, what it covers, how cancellation works, and whether HSA cards or financing are accepted. Ask whether follow-up can be done by telehealth and what the office hours are, since the clinic does not list them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want ongoing, cash-pay primary care or a hormone evaluation, and you are comfortable confirming the prescriber and every cost before you commit. It may not suit you if you need a price list or the prescriber's name in writing before you pick up the phone.
