Dr. Elena Zinkov is sought after for her expertise in balancing women’s hormones using her signature Hormone Potential Therapy™ program. She is a board-certified naturopathic doctor based in Bellevue, Washington, with clients from around the world.

Hormone Potential Therapy is an education-based program where you work one-on-one with a physician to get the results you're searching for. The program shows you how you can achieve your health goals using the functional medicine paradigm. This private, highly individualized approach falls outside of medical insurance coverage. Dr. Elena's program includes:

  • Nutrition counseling

  • Functional lab interpretation, including hormone, gut, and environmental toxin testing to get to the root cause of your symptoms

  • Lifestyle and stress management counseling

  • Ongoing support and guidance throughout the program to ensure clients achieve optimal health

Whereas the conventional medical system allows for condensed time with patients and limited treatment plans, the Proactive Health approach values quality time with clients, individualized treatment plans, in-depth testing, and results-oriented consults where everyone is clear on health goals and outcomes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you accept insurance?

No, Proactive Health is an out-of-network clinic, and insurance is not accepted. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, HSA, and FSA cards. Please ensure that your FSA card works with out-of-network providers before committing to a program.

What are payment terms?

We offer a two-payment option: 50% due right after your 15-minute consultation and 50% due in 30 days.  

Do you work with patients remotely?

Yes. Our doctors work with women around the world.

Do I need to be in the U.S. to purchase a package?

We ship kits internationally and all consultations are held over the video call.

Can I use my Health Savings Account to purchase a package?

Yes, our clients can use HSA payment cards to purchase programs or pay for services. We can also provide an itemized receipt, which is sometimes required for the transaction to be approved by your HSA. Note: we cannot guarantee approval.

Are labs and hormone test prices included in the programs?

No, but most insurance plans reimburse patients directly.

How long does it take to balance my hormones naturally?

This really varies depending on the person and whether there has been prolonged stress, poor diet, or long-term use of synthetic hormones, either via birth control or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The extent to which specific hormones identified through testing are, and have been, out of balance, is the key determinant—it generally takes 1 to 3 months to experience relief of symptoms and improved hormone levels. Depending on the root cause of symptoms and which program is chosen, some clients see improvement in as little as 2 to 3 weeks.

Can you prescribe medication?

For local clients, yes; doctors can prescribe medication as needed based on current findings.  For remote clients, we can make suggestions based on your symptoms and lab results, and you can discuss with your healthcare provider if this is something they would be willing to prescribe.  We educate you about different options available to improve your health and teach you how to be your own health advocate.

 

 

What Our Patients Say

“Dr. Elena is one of the kindest, most helpful doctors I've ever worked with! I had struggled with cystic acne and gut issues for almost a decade and she worked closely with me for over a year. She recommended some of the most extensive hormonal testing I've ever done, which was so helpful as a baseline to compare after different treatments. Throughout the year, we moved through several different types of treatments, both herbal and medicinal, and had regular check-ins to evaluate how I was responding. She responded so quickly to my emails and phone calls, giving me feedback and advice whenever I asked for it, and we finally found something that works for me. I never thought I would be one of those people who gets to leave a review saying my skin now looks great!”

—Kelly S.

“Working with Dr. Elena has been a life changer for me! For years, I have been struggling with cystic jawline acne, as well as a range of horrible PMS symptoms. I went to my OBGYN asking to have my hormones tested and they told me "everything looks good!" But, I knew in my gut that everything was not good. I've followed Dr. Elena for a few years on Instagram and always had her in the back of my mind. I finally decided to reach out to Dr. Elena and she promptly responded and we got things moving. Within weeks of me starting the treatment plan, my acne was gone (and has not returned) and all of the PMS symptoms started to get better. Dr. Elena is an amazing naturopath, who will listen to your whole story and dig deep to figure out what is out of balance within you. I can't thank her / recommend her enough for the help that she has provided me!”

—Kiley P.

“I've been working with Dr. Elena for nearly a year, and am so happy to have found her!! She is super knowledgeable, patient, and allows me to feel heard. As a non-traditional patient, she goes above and beyond to provide ideas for medical and natural options, and explains the pros and cons of both. I always feel genuinely cared for and respected. Can't recommend her highly enough!”
