How Eden’s Patient-Centered Approach Compares to Traditional Hormone Clinics

How Eden’s Model Puts the Patient First

Personalized Access to Licensed Healthcare Providers

Traditional hormone clinics typically require patients to attend in-person consultations, which can pose a barrier for those with busy schedules or limited access to specialty care in their area. These clinics may also use more standardized treatment protocols that aren’t tailored to each individual.

Eden enables patients to connect digitally with independent licensed healthcare providers who assess personal health history, lab results, and lifestyle goals to determine whether treatment is appropriate. This process emphasizes personalization and comfort, allowing patients to have these conversations in a private and accessible setting.

Flexible, Ongoing Support

Continuity of care is a core aspect of Eden’s platform. After the initial consultation, patients may continue to receive support from the same provider who can monitor progress, make adjustments to the treatment plan, if appropriate, and answer questions.

In contrast, traditional hormone clinics may require follow-ups that involve separate appointments, travel, and longer waiting periods. Eden takes the hassle out of follow-up care, making it easy for patients to stay on track with their treatment over time.

Comparing Convenience and Privacy

Location and Time Flexibility

Brick-and-mortar hormone clinics can be geographically limited. Patients might have to drive long distances or take time off work for in-person visits. Appointment availability may also be restricted, leading to delays in care.

Eden's model addresses these limitations by offering a completely digital experience. Patients can complete onboarding, consult with licensed providers, and, when appropriate, receive prescribed treatments from state-licensed pharmacies without leaving home.

A Private, Discreet Experience

Many people prefer a private setting when seeking care related to hormones and metabolic health. Eden supports this by offering consultations and treatment access in a secure digital environment. Patients can discuss their goals with a licensed healthcare provider without needing to sit in a waiting room or worry about in-person logistics.

How Eden Supports a Trusted, Transparent Experience

What Eden Is and Is Not

Eden is not a pharmacy, and it does not practice medicine or produce medications. Eden is a digital health platform that connects patients to independent, licensed healthcare providers and state-licensed compounding pharmacies. These professionals are responsible for evaluating medical needs, determining appropriate treatment, and fulfilling prescriptions when medically appropriate.

Each part of the patient journey, from evaluation to prescribing and medication delivery, is managed by professionals licensed to perform these services.

Evidence-Based Care and Informed Decisions

Independent licensed healthcare providers available through the Eden platform use peer-reviewed research and clinical judgment when evaluating treatment options. For example, this study in the New England Journal of Medicine examines the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists in adults with obesity or overweight who also have related health conditions. Certain GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide under the brand name Wegovy® (used in the study referenced), are FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition.

These providers assess each patient individually to determine whether treatment is appropriate based on their unique health history, lab results, and goals. The decision to prescribe any medication is made solely by the independent licensed healthcare provider. Eden supports informed decision-making by facilitating access to providers who conduct comprehensive evaluations before initiating any treatment.
