Denver Hormone Institute of Colorado
Led by Dr. Kenton Bruice MD, the Denver Hormone Institute is a specialized medical practice dedicated entirely to hormone optimization, BHRT, and longevity medicine for men and women.
About Dr. Kenton Bruice & the Denver Hormone Institute
Dr. Kenton Bruice, MD is a nationally recognized physician specializing in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hormone optimization, and longevity medicine. With decades of experience, he has helped thousands of men and women restore hormonal balance, recover their vitality, and protect their long-term health.
The Denver Hormone Institute of Colorado was founded on a simple premise: patients deserve more than being told their labs are "within normal limits" while they continue to feel unwell. Dr. Bruice takes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to hormonal health—evaluating not just what is statistically normal, but what is optimal for each individual patient.
Unlike a general primary care practice, our clinic is entirely dedicated to hormone medicine. Every patient receives Dr. Bruice's full attention, extensive lab analysis, and a personalized treatment protocol—not a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Dr. Bruice sees patients in three locations: Denver, Colorado; Aspen, Colorado; and St. Louis, Missouri. Telemedicine consultations are available for established patients.
Our Philosophy: Optimization, Not Just "Normal"
Comprehensive Testing
We go far beyond standard panels. Our hormone assessments include markers most physicians never test, giving us a complete picture of your hormonal health.
Personalized Protocols
Every patient receives a treatment plan designed specifically for them—tailored to their labs, symptoms, age, goals, and lifestyle.
Long-Term Partnership
We monitor your progress continuously and refine your protocol over time. Hormone optimization is not a one-time prescription—it is an ongoing relationship.
Bioidentical, Not Synthetic
We use bioidentical hormones—molecularly identical to those your body produces—rather than synthetic alternatives with different chemical structures.
Evidence-Based Medicine
Our protocols are grounded in peer-reviewed research. Dr. Bruice stays current with the latest developments in endocrinology, aging medicine, and hormone science.
Patient Education
We believe informed patients make better decisions. Dr. Bruice takes time to explain your results, your options, and the reasoning behind every recommendation.
Comprehensive Services at the Denver Hormone Institute
Our practice offers the full spectrum of hormone optimization services for men and women. All treatments begin with advanced lab testing and a thorough consultation.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Our flagship service. Comprehensive evaluation and personalized BHRT protocols for men and women using estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, and more.
Hormone Pellet Therapy
The gold standard for convenience and consistency—tiny pellets inserted subcutaneously deliver steady hormone levels for 3–6 months without daily dosing.
HGH & Peptide Therapy
Growth hormone optimization through secretagogue peptides (sermorelin, CJC-1295/ipamorelin) or recombinant HGH for qualified patients with documented deficiency.
Women's Hormone Health — Perimenopause & Menopause
Specialized care for women navigating premenopause, perimenopause, and menopause. Estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid optimization.
Men's Testosterone Optimization
Comprehensive testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men experiencing low testosterone—including pellets, injections, and topical delivery—along with monitoring for prostate and cardiovascular health.
Thyroid Optimization
Full thyroid evaluation including TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and antibody testing. Treatment with T4 alone, T4/T3 combinations, or desiccated thyroid as clinically appropriate.
Adrenal & Cortisol Assessment
Evaluation of cortisol rhythms, DHEA levels, and adrenal reserve. Treatment protocols to support adrenal function and reduce chronic stress impact.
Weight Loss & Metabolic Optimization
Hormone imbalances are a primary driver of weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. Comprehensive treatment addresses the hormonal root causes of weight resistance.
What to Expect as a New Patient
Initial Phone or In-Person Consultation
Your first appointment is an in-depth conversation with Dr. Bruice. He will review your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and goals in detail. This is a collaborative process—no rushing, no dismissiveness.
Advanced Laboratory Evaluation
We order a comprehensive hormone panel that most physicians do not routinely perform. Results are typically returned within 3–5 business days. You receive a copy of all results along with Dr. Bruice's interpretation.
Customized Treatment Protocol
Dr. Bruice designs a treatment plan specifically for you. He explains every element—what each hormone does, why you need it, how it will be delivered, what to expect, and what to watch for.
Initiation of Therapy
Prescriptions are sent to trusted compounding pharmacies. For pellet therapy, insertion is performed in-office. Support staff are available to answer questions as you begin treatment.
Ongoing Monitoring & Optimization
Follow-up labs are scheduled at 6–8 weeks, then every 3–6 months. Protocol adjustments are made based on your labs and, most importantly, how you feel.
