Services
We provide symptom-guided, personalized treatments that focus on identifying the root cause of your symptoms, not just managing them. Through ongoing care and tailored therapies, we help you feel stronger, more energized, and confident in your health.
TRT for Men
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a clinician-managed program for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, including fatigue, low libido, brain fog, decreased muscle mass, and mood changes. Treatment begins with a comprehensive hormone panel, followed by an individualized protocol using injectable testosterone, topical creams, or oral testosterone depending on clinical fit. Ongoing lab monitoring and dose adjustments are included. Available via telehealth in all nine licensed states.
“I didn’t realize how bad I felt until I started TRT. My energy, focus, and confidence came back fast, and the results actually stuck. The clinic was responsive, explained everything clearly, and adjusted my plan based on how I felt, not just labs. This has been a total game-changer.”
- Kevin T., 48
HRT for Women
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for women addresses the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause — including hot flashes, weight gain, low libido, sleep disruption, and mood instability. Protocols are built around estradiol, progesterone, and low-dose testosterone based on individual lab results and symptom burden. Care is fully remote and clinician-directed from first consult through ongoing optimization.
“I finally feel like myself again. My energy is back, my mood is steady, and I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in years. The team actually listened, explained my labs, and built a plan just for me. HRT didn’t just help my symptoms, it gave me my life back.”
- Devin G., 34
Medical Weight Loss
The Steel City GLP-1 Metabolic Optimization Program uses semaglutide or tirzepatide to drive clinically meaningful fat loss through appetite regulation, improved glycemic control, and metabolic recalibration. What separates this program is the Protein Anchoring methodology — a structured approach to preserving lean muscle mass during GLP-1-driven weight loss. Required metabolic lab monitoring is included at baseline and every eight weeks. Available to new and existing patients across all licensed states.
“I’ve tried everything, and nothing ever stuck, until this. The cravings quieted down, the weight finally started coming off, and I didn’t feel miserable doing it. The team checked in regularly, adjusted my plan when needed, and actually cared about my progress. This feels sustainable, not like another quick fix.”
- Laura S., 34
Peptide Therapy
Peptide optimization at Steel City uses clinician-prescribed growth hormone peptides to support recovery, tissue repair, body composition, and metabolic function. Protocols are built around your goals and health status — not a one-size-fits-all stack — with IGF-1 monitoring included to track response over time. Available as a standalone program or as an add-on for existing TRT or GLP-1 members across all nine licensed states.
“I started peptides to improve recovery and energy, and the difference has been night and day. I heal faster, sleep better, and feel stronger in the gym and daily life. The team tailored everything to my goals and adjusted my protocol. This isn’t guesswork, it’s personalized optimization.”
- Jordan P., 43

FAQs
What symptoms indicate I might need hormone therapy?
Common symptoms associated with hormone imbalance include persistent fatigue, low libido, brain fog, difficulty building or maintaining muscle, increased body fat (particularly abdominal), mood changes, irritability, poor sleep quality, and reduced motivation. In women, perimenopause and menopause add hot flashes, night sweats, and irregular cycles. These symptoms overlap with other conditions, which is why baseline lab work is required before any diagnosis or treatment recommendation is made.
The challenge with hormone-related symptoms is that they are non-specific — fatigue, brain fog, and low mood are associated with dozens of conditions, and treating symptoms without confirming the underlying hormone picture wastes time and carries risk. This is why Steel City requires baseline lab work before any clinical recommendation is made. Symptoms are the reason to investigate; labs are the reason to treat.
How long does it take to see results from hormone therapy?
Most patients notice initial changes — improved energy, better sleep, early libido improvement — within two to four weeks of reaching therapeutic hormone levels. More significant changes in body composition, mood stability, and cognitive clarity typically emerge between six and twelve weeks. Optimal results generally require three to six months of consistent dosing and monitoring, as protocols are adjusted based on follow-up lab values and symptom response.
Are weight loss medications available through Steel City?
Yes. Steel City's Medical Weight Loss program includes clinician-managed protocols using compounded peptides and medications for eligible patients in licensed states. Treatment requires baseline labs, a clinical evaluation, and ongoing metabolic monitoring. Medications are compounded by licensed 503A pharmacies and shipped directly to the patient. Weight loss therapy is prescribed only after a clinical evaluation confirms medical treatment is appropriate — it is not dispensed on request.
What labs are required before starting treatment at Steel City?
Required labs vary by program and initiation tier. The Vitality Snapshot (Tier 1) covers core hormone and safety markers. (Tier 2) requires a broader panel including CBC, CMP, LH, FSH, and hormone levels — which can be fulfilled through outside labs, an insurance script, or cash-pay through Rupa Health. The Biological Blueprint (Tier 3) includes an 18-marker panel adding IGF-1, HbA1c, fasting insulin, thyroid (TSH), DHEA-S, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, SHBG, Cortisol, and Lipid Panel. All labs must be completed before the consultation appointment.
Can I use insurance for treatment at Steel City?
Clinical services, consultations, and memberships at Steel City are cash-pay only and are not billed to insurance or Medicare/Medicaid. For Tier 2 patients, an insurance lab script can be issued so you can use your insurance coverage for required lab work — though coverage is not guaranteed and any uncovered costs are the patient's responsibility. Patients on government benefit programs (Medicare/Medicaid) are required to use Rupa Health cash-pay for all lab work; insurance lab scripts are not issued for those patients.
