Open a Hormone Optimization Clinic for Men, Women, or Both.
Two of the largest cash-pay specialties in U.S. healthcare. TRT for men and BHRT for women, under one operational structure. ACG builds hormone clinics that serve one audience or both, with the compliance infrastructure that handles either path.

TRT generates over 246,000 U.S. searches per month. Hormone replacement therapy for women is accelerating as the mainstream conversation around menopause moves from taboo to front page. The demand is documented. The local supply is not keeping pace.
In most U.S. markets, the nearest hormone optimization clinic is a telehealth provider. No local clinic building in-person relationships, running in-office labs, or providing the consistent experience that creates long-term retention. The entrepreneur who opens that clinic captures what telehealth cannot.
The hormone patient who starts TRT in January and gets labs monitored quarterly is still paying, and still referring, two years later. That is what makes this the highest lifetime value category in cash-pay health.
Representative of broader category trends. Actual local demand varies by market.
Men's and Women's Hormone Health
Are Different Businesses
Different search audiences. Different protocols. Different patient conversations. Different marketing compliance requirements. ACG builds hormone clinics that serve one audience or both.
Men's Health
& TRT Clinics
Testosterone replacement therapy, men's hormone optimization, peptide protocols for performance and recovery. The highest-search-volume category in men's health, with local supply still trailing demand in most U.S. markets.
Women's Health
& Hormone Clinics
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, menopause and perimenopause management, BHRT protocols. A market accelerating as the cultural conversation around women's hormone health reaches mainstream awareness.
What Compliance Looks Like
for Hormone Clinics
Hormone optimization is one of the most compliance-intensive cash-pay specialties. Testosterone is a controlled substance. Compounding pharmacy relationships require careful vetting. Medical Director prescribing authority varies by state. ACG has navigated this across hundreds of clinic launches.
Testosterone is Schedule III. Prescribing structure, registration requirements, and record-keeping obligations sequenced correctly.
ACG introduces clients to vetted MDs across all 50 states and coordinates the oversight agreement that protects the clinic owner.
Pre-vetted compounding pharmacy partners at preferred pricing, not sourced blind by a first-time operator.
Patient intake, informed consent frameworks, and clinical protocols established before the first patient walks in.

Structured to keep you on the right side of the line.
Regenerative health is one of the most heavily scrutinized spaces in medicine. Knowing the rules is not a footnote to what we do. It is the foundation. Here is how we structure every clinic we help launch.
Your Medical Director Directs Care
You own and operate the business. Every clinical, prescribing, and treatment decision is made by an independent, state-licensed Medical Director, structured to respect Corporate Practice of Medicine laws in your state. We connect you to a vetted network; you retain your own provider.
We Know the Regulatory Lines
PRP, peptides, GLP-1 medications, and cellular products each carry their own federal and state rules, and not every product or use is FDA-approved. Some, like exosomes for therapeutic use, are not FDA-approved at all, and we steer you away from them. We help you build a treatment menu on defensible, compliant options and a marketing approach that holds up to FDA, FTC, and state medical board scrutiny.
No Hype. No Guarantees.
We show you real ranges, not fantasy numbers, and we never promise an income or a clinical outcome. What you earn depends on your market, your capital, and your execution. We would rather set honest expectations than sell you a dream.
Altos Consulting Group is a business consulting and advisory firm, not a medical practice, and does not provide, prescribe, or sell any drug, biologic, device, or therapy. The FDA has stated there are currently no FDA-approved exosome products for the treatment of any disease; clinic owners are responsible for the regulatory compliance of every product, therapy, and claim.
