Behavioral Health Care From a
Physician Who Specializes in It

Behavioral health — often called mental health — covers a wide range of conditions that affect how we think, feel, focus, and function. In many traditional settings, these concerns receive only limited time and attention. Dr. Stranckmeyer works directly with each of his patients to give behavioral and mental health the dedicated focus it deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common
Questions

Can you diagnose and treat ADHD in children and adults?
Yes. Dr. Stranckmeyer treats ADHD across all age groups — children, teens, and adults. Whether you are seeking an evaluation for the first time or continuing care that was started elsewhere, he can help.
I was recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult — is that unusual?
Not at all. Many adults go undiagnosed for years — often because their symptoms were attributed to stress, anxiety, or simply how they are wired. Getting a proper evaluation and treatment plan as an adult can be genuinely life-changing.
Do you prescribe medication for ADHD, anxiety, or mood concerns?
When clinically appropriate, yes. Dr. Stranckmeyer will discuss options based on your symptoms, history, and goals. Recommendations are always individualized — not based on a single visit or a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Do you offer medication-assisted treatment for alcohol dependency?
Yes. Dr. Stranckmeyer is board-certified in Addiction Medicine and can discuss medication-assisted treatment options including naltrexone and acamprosate when appropriate. True Zen Wellness does not currently offer Suboxone, but referrals can be coordinated when needed.
Can my appointment be done through telemedicine?
Yes. Most behavioral health appointments are completed through telemedicine — from your phone, tablet, or computer. In-person visits are also available in Springfield, Missouri.

Hormone Optimization

Feel More Like
Yourself Again

Physician-led hormone optimization and hormone replacement therapy for women and men — designed around your symptoms, lab work, stage of life, and long-term health goals.

Hormone Optimization

Not Just “Normal Labs” —
A Better Picture

Many people come to us after being told their labs are “normal,” even though they still feel tired, foggy, irritable, unmotivated, or unlike themselves. Traditional lab ranges can be broad, and symptoms often tell an important part of the story.

Hormone optimization, also referred to as hormone replacement therapy when medication is used, is a more personalized approach. Dr. Shawn looks at your numbers, your symptoms, your medical history, and how you actually feel day to day.

The goal is not to chase a random number. The goal is to help you feel better while keeping your care safe, thoughtful, and medically monitored.

Common Symptoms

Could Hormones Be
Part of the Picture?

Fatigue or low energy
Brain fog
Trouble sleeping
Mood changes or irritability
Weight gain or body composition changes
Low libido
Hot flashes / night sweats
Low motivation
Poor recovery from workouts
Hair, skin, or cycle changes
Why Ongoing Care Matters

Your Hormones Are Always Changing

Hormones shift with age, stress, sleep, nutrition, medications, weight changes, perimenopause, menopause, and overall health. That means optimization is not a one-time prescription — it is an ongoing process.

As your body responds, your plan may need to be adjusted. Sometimes that means changing a dose, adding supportive nutrients, adjusting timing, reviewing side effects, or repeating labs to make sure your treatment is still aligned with your goals.

Dr. Shawn works with patients over time to help dial in treatment thoughtfully. If something does not feel right, you are not left guessing — you can send a message through the patient portal, schedule a follow-up appointment, or request additional support so your plan can be reviewed when clinically appropriate.

  • Ongoing symptom review
  • Lab monitoring when appropriate
  • Medication adjustments as needed
  • Supplement and lifestyle guidance
  • Appointments and communication support as needed

Personalized, Monitored
And Adjusted Over Time

Dr. Shawn has pursued additional education in hormone optimization, healthy aging, and proactive healthcare. He works with hundreds of patients and understands that the right plan can look different from person to person.

Your plan may include hormone therapy when appropriate, nutrition support, supplements, lifestyle recommendations, weight management support, or peptide therapy when it fits your goals.

  • Detailed symptom and medical history review
  • Baseline lab work and targeted follow-up labs
  • Discussion of benefits, risks, and treatment options
  • Adjustments based on symptoms, labs, and response
  • Ongoing support through membership-based follow-up care
The Process

What to Expect

01
Book Your Appointment

Start by booking your hormone appointment. We will make sure you receive your pre-appointment paperwork and help coordinate any lab orders or information Dr. Stranckmeyer wants to review before your visit.

02
Review Symptoms, Labs & Goals

During your appointment, Dr. Stranckmeyer reviews your symptoms, health history, lab work, medications, lifestyle, and goals. If anything needs to be clarified ahead of time, our office will help coordinate the next step.

03
Customize, Monitor & Adjust

Your treatment plan is built around you. Hormone therapy takes time, and follow-up visits, lab review, and dose adjustments help keep your care safe, effective, and aligned with how you feel.

More Than a Prescription

Support for the Whole Person

Hormones do not operate in isolation. Sleep, stress, nutrition, strength training, inflammation, gut health, and metabolic health all influence how you feel and how your body responds to treatment.

That is why True Zen Wellness looks beyond the prescription and helps patients build realistic support around their treatment plan.

  • Supplement guidance when appropriate
  • Protein and nutrition support
  • Weight management support if needed
  • Peptide therapy discussion when appropriate
  • Sleep, stress, and recovery recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hormone optimization the same as hormone replacement therapy?
The terms are often used together. Hormone optimization refers to the overall process of evaluating symptoms, labs, health history, and goals. Hormone replacement therapy refers to using medication to support or replace hormones when appropriate.
Is hormone optimization right for everyone?
No. It can be life-changing for many people, but it is not the right fit for everyone. We take a careful, individualized approach based on your symptoms, health history, lab work, and goals.
How long does it take to notice results?
Some patients notice changes within the first few weeks, while others see more gradual improvement over several months. Results depend on your specific situation, medication, dose, lifestyle factors, and how your body responds.
Will my treatment be adjusted over time?
Yes. Hormones change over time, and your care should change with you. Dr. Shawn continues to monitor symptoms, review labs when appropriate, and adjust treatment so the plan stays aligned with your goals and safety.
Can I contact the office if something does not feel right?
Yes. Patients can use the patient portal to communicate concerns, questions, side effects, or changes in how they are feeling. Your plan can be reviewed and adjusted when clinically appropriate.
Is hormone optimization covered by insurance?
True Zen Wellness is a direct-pay practice and does not bill insurance. However, many patients use HSA or FSA funds. We are happy to provide receipts for reimbursement requests.

Prefer to be seen in person? Patients may also choose an in-office appointment for an additional $50 fee. In-office visits must be scheduled by calling our office. Call or text 417-319-4490

Women's Hormone Optimization

Feel More Like

Book Hormone Appointment
Common Symptoms

Does This Sound Familiar?

You do not have to simply accept feeling tired, irritable, mentally foggy, or unlike yourself. Hormonal changes can begin years before menopause and may affect nearly every part of how you feel.

Many women come to us because they have been told their labs are "normal," or that what they are experiencing is just stress, aging, or something they have to live with. We take a different approach.

Hot flashes & night sweats
Fatigue
Brain fog
Mood changes or irritability
Trouble sleeping

A Bigger Picture

Perimenopause, Menopause
& Beyond

Women’s hormones can shift gradually and unpredictably. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, sleep, stress, and inflammation can all influence how you feel.

Dr. Stranckmeyer looks at symptoms, lab work, medical history, and goals together — not just one number in isolation.

The goal is to create a plan that feels supportive, safe, and realistic — then adjust it over time as your body responds.

Treatment Options

Options Are Personalized

Hormone optimization may include hormone replacement therapy when appropriate, supportive supplements, lifestyle recommendations, nutrition support, and follow-up labs. Treatment is not the same for every woman.

Depending on your symptoms and lab work, Dr. Stranckmeyer may discuss estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid-related evaluation, or other supportive options.

  • Estrogen support when clinically appropriate
  • Progesterone support, often discussed for sleep, cycle changes, and menopause-related symptoms
  • Testosterone support for select women when symptoms and labs support it
  • Creams, oral options, injections, or pellets depending on the treatment plan
  • Supplement support for sleep, stress, metabolism, and recovery when appropriate

Pellets may be discussed for some patients, but Dr. Stranckmeyer typically wants to understand how your body responds and what dosing range is appropriate before moving into longer-acting options.

Ongoing Support

Hormone Care Is Not One-and-Done

01
Start With the Full Story

Your symptoms, goals, history, medications, and lab work all matter. We want to understand what is changing and what you want to improve.

02
Build a Custom Plan

Your treatment may include hormones, supplements, nutrition support, lifestyle guidance, or a combination depending on what is appropriate for you.

03
Monitor & Fine Tune

Hormones change over time. Follow-up visits, symptom check-ins, and repeat labs help keep your plan aligned with your body and your goals.

Common Questions
When should I start hormone optimization?
For many women, the benefits of hormone therapy are greatest when treatment begins within 10 years of menopause. However, some women may benefit earlier, including during perimenopause when symptoms first begin.
Is hormone optimization only for menopause?
No. Hormonal changes can begin during perimenopause, and some women experience symptoms long before they stop having periods. Hormone optimization may also help women experiencing cycle changes, fatigue, low libido, mood changes, poor sleep, and brain fog.
Do I have to use pellets?
No. Pellets are only one option. Some women prefer creams, oral medications, injections, or other approaches. Dr. Stranckmeyer will review options with you and help determine what fits your goals, labs, comfort level, and safety needs.
How long can I safely stay on hormones?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Some women only want treatment for a short period, while others continue therapy for many years because they feel significantly better. This is a decision you and Dr. Shawn will make together over time.
Will my dose change?
It may. Hormones change with stress, sleep, age, weight changes, lifestyle, and overall health. Your plan can be adjusted based on your symptoms, lab work, response, and goals.
What if something does not feel right?
You can communicate through the patient portal or schedule a follow-up visit so your concerns can be reviewed and your plan can be adjusted when clinically appropriate.

Men's Hormone Optimization

Get Back to Feeling
Strong & Energized

Physician-led hormone optimization for men experiencing low energy, low testosterone, brain fog, poor recovery, low libido, decreased performance, and changes in motivation.

Book Hormone Appointment
Common Symptoms

Low Testosterone
Affects More Than You Think

Low testosterone and hormonal changes can affect much more than just sex drive. Hormones play a major role in energy, motivation, focus, sleep, muscle mass, mood, recovery, and overall wellbeing.

Many men know something feels off, but they are not sure whether it is stress, aging, sleep, weight gain, low testosterone, or a combination. Dr. Stranckmeyer looks at the full picture.

Low energy & motivation
Brain fog
Low libido
Difficulty building muscle
Increased body fat
Poor sleep
Irritability
Decreased performance
Poor workout recovery
Loss of drive or confidence
A Medical Approach

More Than a
Testosterone Number

Men’s hormone optimization starts with symptoms, health history, lab work, and goals. Testosterone matters, but so do sleep, stress, weight, insulin resistance, medications, thyroid function, inflammation, and lifestyle.

Dr. Stranckmeyer uses a monitored, individualized approach so treatment can be adjusted based on how you respond — not a generic protocol.

The goal is to help you feel better while protecting long-term health, safety, and appropriate monitoring.

Treatment Options

Testosterone Therapy & Supportive Care

When testosterone therapy is appropriate, there are multiple ways to approach treatment. Dr. Stranckmeyer will review options, risks, benefits, lab monitoring, and what makes the most sense for your goals and lifestyle.

For some men, the plan may include testosterone therapy. For others, the first step may be improving sleep, weight, nutrition, metabolic health, or other factors that influence testosterone and overall performance.

  • Testosterone injections when appropriate
  • Cream or topical options for select patients
  • Pellets may be discussed after an appropriate dose range is better understood
  • Lab monitoring for safety and response
  • Supplement, nutrition, and lifestyle support when appropriate
Ongoing Monitoring

Dialed In, Not Overdone

01
Start With Labs & Symptoms

Your initial visit reviews symptoms, goals, medical history, medications, and lab work to understand what may be contributing to how you feel.

02
Choose the Right Option

Treatment may include testosterone therapy, supplement support, weight management, nutrition changes, sleep support, or other targeted recommendations.

03
Monitor & Adjust

Follow-up visits and labs help make sure your plan is safe, effective, and adjusted appropriately as your body responds.

Common Questions
How do I know if my testosterone is low?
Symptoms can include fatigue, low libido, decreased muscle mass, poor sleep, irritability, low motivation, mood changes, and brain fog. Lab work helps determine whether testosterone or other hormones may be contributing.
Will testosterone therapy affect my natural production?
Testosterone therapy can reduce your body's natural production over time, which is why it is important to work with a physician who understands how to monitor and manage treatment carefully. Dr. Shawn will discuss all risks and benefits with you.
Do I have to do injections?
No. Injections are common, but they are not the only option. Depending on your labs, symptoms, goals, and preferences, Dr. Stranckmeyer may discuss topical options or other treatment approaches.
When would pellets be considered?
Pellets may be discussed once an appropriate dose range is better understood and the patient understands the benefits, limitations, and monitoring needs. They are not the only option and are not necessarily the starting point for every patient.
How quickly will I notice results?
Some men notice improvements in energy, sleep, motivation, or libido within the first few weeks. Other changes — such as improved body composition and muscle mass — may take several months.
Will I need ongoing follow-up?
Yes. Hormone optimization is not a one-time prescription. Follow-up appointments, lab monitoring, and adjustments are important parts of making sure your treatment remains safe and effective.

Weight Management

Physician-Guided
Weight Loss

Successful weight loss starts with understanding the bigger picture. Dr. Shawn takes a comprehensive approach — looking at hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, lab work, and more — to create a plan that truly fits your life.

Book Weight Management Appointment
Our Approach

More Than
Medication Alone

Many factors can contribute to difficulty losing weight — hormone imbalances, stress, sleep issues, nutrition, metabolism, medications, and underlying medical conditions. Rather than simply prescribing medication, Dr. Shawn takes time to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Some patients are starting a weight loss medication for the first time. Others may already be taking medication elsewhere and want to transfer their care — both are welcome. Dr. Shawn will take time to understand what has and has not worked for you and help create a plan that feels realistic, sustainable, and tailored to your goals.

Before Recommending Treatment, Dr. Shawn Reviews
Your medical history and current medications
Lab work and metabolic health
Hormones and other contributors to weight gain
Previous weight loss efforts
Your goals, schedule, and lifestyle
Medical Weight Loss & Metabolic Support

GLP-1 Medications, Personalized Dosing
& Sustainable Results

GLP-1 medications are one of the most effective tools available for weight loss and metabolic health. They can help regulate appetite, decrease cravings, improve blood sugar control, and make it easier to stay consistent with healthier habits.

At True Zen Wellness, Dr. Shawn does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. He reviews your health history, lab work, goals, current medications, and lifestyle before deciding whether medication, nutrition changes, hormone optimization, or a combination makes the most sense.

Common medications include:

  • Semaglutide — Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Rybelsus®
  • Tirzepatide — Mounjaro®, Zepbound®

Dr. Stranckmeyer often takes a lowest-effective-dose approach, including gradual dose increases when appropriate, to help patients achieve results while reducing unnecessary cost and minimizing unwanted side effects.

Emerging therapies: Newer medications such as retatrutide are being studied and have shown promising results in metabolic health, body composition, and other potential benefits. Retatrutide is not currently FDA-approved, but Dr. Stranckmeyer follows emerging research so patients can stay informed as treatment options evolve.

Treatment May Include

Your Personalized Plan

GLP-1 Medication Support

Semaglutide or tirzepatide may be recommended to decrease appetite, reduce cravings, improve blood sugar, and support sustainable weight loss. Dr. Shawn determines which option best fits your health history, lab work, and goals.

When appropriate, he may use a low-dose or gradual “microdosing” style strategy — starting low, increasing slowly, and aiming for the minimal effective dose that produces the desired result.

Hormones, Labs & Metabolism

For some patients, hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, inflammation, sleep disruption, stress, or other medical factors make weight loss harder. Dr. Shawn evaluates the bigger picture so your plan is based on more than the number on the scale.

Nutrition, Protein & Supplements

Your plan may include protein goals, meal structure, simple meal replacement options, supplement guidance, hydration, movement, sleep, and realistic strategies that fit your daily life.

Nutrition Support

Simple, Structured Nutrition

Nutrition plays a critical role in weight loss success, especially for patients using GLP-1 medications. Adequate protein, hydration, fiber, and consistency help support muscle retention, energy, digestion, and long-term results.

Dr. Stranckmeyer may recommend a simple nutrition structure that includes whole foods, protein-forward meals, meal replacements, or targeted supplements depending on your goals and lifestyle.

The goal is not to overwhelm you. The goal is to make your plan realistic, repeatable, and easy to follow.

Our recommended protein and meal support:

Dr. Stranckmeyer and his family have personally used Isagenix products since 2014. For patients who want convenient protein shakes, meal support, or structured nutrition options, Isagenix can be a helpful tool within a broader medical weight management plan.

  • Use as a meal replacement when appropriate
  • Support protein intake on busy days
  • Ship directly to your home
  • Order through our office for local pickup and no shipping
  • Set up a wholesale account for preferred pricing

If you have trouble setting up an account or want help choosing products, please let us know and we can help guide you.

Affordable Options & Ongoing Support

Making Weight Loss
Accessible

We know cost can be one of the biggest concerns with weight loss medications. Our goal is to help patients access treatment as affordably as possible while still providing physician oversight and ongoing support.

If your insurance covers Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, we can send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.

For patients whose insurance does not cover these medications, we work with trusted compounding pharmacies to provide more affordable options often shipped directly to your home. Many patients transfer their care to True Zen Wellness because they receive the same medication at a significantly lower cost.

Minimal Membership Fee

We charge only a minimal quarterly membership fee to manage your care, provide follow-up appointments, answer questions, and make medication adjustments as needed.

In-Office Injections Available

For patients who prefer not to self-inject at home, we offer the option to have your medication administered in-office at our Springfield, Missouri clinic.

Peptide therapy at True Zen Wellness is designed for patients who want a more personalized approach to energy, recovery, metabolism, skin health, hair support, inflammation, and healthy aging.

What Is Peptide Therapy

Small Signals.
Meaningful Change.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act like signaling molecules in the body. Different peptides can communicate with different systems, helping influence processes such as tissue repair, metabolism, hormone signaling, sleep, immune response, skin health, and recovery.

Rather than taking a “one-size-fits-all” approach, Dr. Shawn evaluates your goals, symptoms, medical history, medications, supplements, and lab needs before recommending a plan.

Peptide therapy is not about chasing trends. It is about using targeted tools, when appropriate, to support the body’s natural repair and optimization pathways.

Physician-Led Protocols

How Dr. Stranckmeyer
Customizes Your Plan

01
Clinical Review
Your symptoms, goals, medical history, current medications, supplements, and lifestyle are reviewed before any recommendation is made.
02
Targeted Selection
Peptides are selected based on the outcome you are trying to support — recovery, skin, hair, metabolism, sleep, inflammation, or overall optimization.
03
Ongoing Oversight
Your response is monitored over time so dosing, timing, duration, and supportive nutrition or supplements can be adjusted as needed.

Whenever possible, Dr. Stranckmeyer uses the lowest effective dose needed to achieve the desired response. This approach may help reduce unwanted side effects, avoid unnecessary medication use, and keep treatment costs more manageable.

Common Peptides We May Discuss

Your Options,
Explained Simply

The options below are examples of therapies that may be discussed during your consultation. Recommendations depend on your health history, goals, availability, safety considerations, and whether a specific therapy is appropriate for you.

Recovery + Repair

BPC-157 & TB-500

Often discussed for joint discomfort, muscle recovery, injury support, tissue healing, inflammation support, and athletic recovery.

Skin + Hair

GHK-Cu

A copper peptide often discussed for skin quality, collagen support, fine lines, hair support, tissue repair, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Sleep + Vitality

Sermorelin

Supports the body’s natural growth hormone signaling and may be considered for sleep, recovery, lean muscle tone, fat metabolism, and healthy aging.

Energy + Cellular Support

NAD+ Support

Not technically a peptide, but often discussed alongside peptide therapy for energy, brain fog, focus, mitochondrial support, and recovery.

Detox + Antioxidant Support

Glutathione

Often discussed for antioxidant support, cellular health, detoxification pathways, immune support, and overall wellness.

Metabolic Optimization

GLP-1 Related Therapies

Some metabolic medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, are peptide-based therapies. These are addressed in detail on our Weight Management page.

Learn About GLP-1 Options →
Safety + Oversight

Not Every Peptide
Is Right for Every Patient

Peptide therapy should be guided by a qualified medical provider. The right option depends on your health history, current medications, treatment goals, lab work when needed, and your overall risk profile.

Some peptide therapies are prescription-based, some are compounded, and some are considered emerging or investigational. Dr. Stranckmeyer will help you understand what is appropriate, what is realistic, and what should be avoided.

Our Approach

Clear Guidance.
No Guesswork.

  • Personalized recommendations based on your goals
  • Discussion of benefits, risks, cost, and expected timeline
  • Lab review when clinically appropriate
  • Education on dosing, storage, and administration
  • Follow-up support and plan adjustments
Emerging Metabolic Therapies

The Future of
Optimization Medicine

Newer therapies such as retatrutide are being studied for their potential impact on metabolic health, body composition, inflammation, and cardiometabolic risk. Retatrutide is not currently FDA-approved, but it represents the type of next-generation treatment True Zen Wellness continues to follow closely.

As safe and appropriate options become available, Dr. Stranckmeyer evaluates how they may fit into a broader, individualized care plan.

Concierge Medicine · Limited Availability

A More Personal
Relationship With Your Physician

Many patients begin with one service and eventually say: "I wish you could just be my doctor for everything." Concierge Medicine was created for those patients — a deeper, more connected way to care for your health.

Book Medical Consultation to Discuss
Is This Right for You

Concierge Medicine
May Be a Fit If…

  • You are already seeing Dr. Shawn for one service and would like him to take a more complete role in your healthcare.
  • You want one physician helping oversee the bigger picture of your health.
  • You are managing several health concerns or medications and would like them handled in one place.
  • You want more time, easier communication, and a physician who truly knows your history.
  • You are going through a more difficult or complicated season with your health and want additional support and guidance.
  • You want the peace of mind that comes from having a physician you know and trust who can help you navigate questions as they come up.
What May Be Included

Your Membership
May Cover

  • Behavioral Health management
  • Hormone Optimization
  • Weight Management
  • Peptide Therapy
  • Medication management (blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, migraines, sleep, fatigue, anxiety, ADHD)
  • Review of outside labs, imaging, and specialist notes
  • Guidance and second opinions on treatment decisions
  • Minor acute concerns (sinus infections, UTIs, rashes, flu symptoms)
  • Priority scheduling & easier communication between visits

Not every patient needs Concierge Medicine. Some patients are very happy continuing to schedule visits only when they need them — and that is absolutely appropriate. This program is for patients who want a deeper level of support and a more ongoing relationship with their physician.

The best first step is to schedule a Medical Consultation. During this visit, you and Dr. Shawn can discuss your current concerns, what type of support you are looking for, and whether ongoing concierge care would make sense for you.

Deeply Personal.

At True Zen Wellness, we believe the best care happens when your physician understands the whole person — not just a list of symptoms.

As a direct-pay practice, we are not limited by what an insurance company will or will not approve. Every decision is based on what is best for you.

  • Faster access to appointments — get in when you need to
  • More time spent with each patient during every visit
  • Personalized treatment plans based on your needs and goals
  • Discounted lab pricing through LabCorp locations nationwide

  • Secure HIPAA-compliant patient portal for easy communication
  • Receipts provided for HSA, FSA, or insurance reimbursement

Our Story

Built From Experience

True Zen Wellness officially opened in 2020, but the vision behind it began long before that.

As Dr. Shawn worked in traditional medicine and Kristen worked in healthcare, business, and wellness, they both saw the same thing: patients were frustrated by long waits, rushed appointments, insurance limitations, and feeling like no one truly knew them.

Around that same time, they were being approached by nurses, providers, and clinics who wanted help building aesthetic, hormone, and wellness practices. Through that work, they gained an even deeper understanding of what makes healthcare feel truly exceptional — convenient, high-value, personalized, and easy to navigate.

So they decided to create the kind of practice they wished existed: one where patients could receive excellent medical care without feeling rushed, overlooked, or limited by the traditional healthcare system.

At the end of the day, True Zen Wellness is a reflection of who Kristen and Dr. Shawn are: real people doing their best to create the kind of healthcare experience they would want for their own family.

We are grateful for every patient who has trusted us so far, and we look forward to continuing to grow in a way that always stays true to who we are.

How to Get ADHD Treatment
Online in Missouri

If you have been struggling with focus, procrastination, feeling overwhelmed, racing thoughts, or trouble staying on top of daily life, you may be wondering if ADHD could be a factor — and if there is an easier way to get help.

Book Behavioral Health Appointment

The good news is that many adults in Missouri can get ADHD treatment online from the comfort of home. At True Zen Wellness, we make it simple to schedule a virtual appointment, talk through your symptoms, and create a personalized plan that fits your life.

Can You Get ADHD Treatment Online in Missouri?

Yes. Missouri residents can receive ADHD treatment through telemedicine. A virtual ADHD appointment allows you to meet with a physician online to discuss symptoms such as difficulty focusing, feeling easily distracted, procrastination, trouble finishing tasks, racing thoughts, forgetfulness, and poor time management.

Many people are surprised to learn that ADHD does not always look like hyperactivity. In adults, ADHD often shows up as feeling overwhelmed, struggling to stay organized, difficulty managing work or family responsibilities, or constantly feeling like you are behind. Many women are especially overlooked because ADHD can present as exhaustion, scattered thoughts, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm rather than hyperactivity.

Why More Missouri Patients Are Choosing Online ADHD Treatment

With online ADHD treatment through True Zen Wellness, you can schedule online, meet with a physician from home, avoid long waits, get more one-on-one time, and receive care that fits your schedule. This can be especially helpful for busy parents, professionals, college students, or anyone who already feels overwhelmed.

What to Expect During an Online ADHD Evaluation

During your appointment, Dr. Shawn Stranckmeyer, MD will talk with you about your current symptoms, when they started, how they affect work and daily life, any history of anxiety, depression, or other health concerns, your sleep, stress level, and previous treatment history.

Care is centered around understanding the full picture of what you are experiencing — not just treating a symptom in isolation.

Can ADHD Medication Be Prescribed Through Telemedicine?

In many cases, yes. If appropriate and safe, medication may be part of your treatment plan, including stimulant or non-stimulant ADHD medication. However, medication is not the only option. Some patients benefit from lifestyle changes, better routines, sleep support, stress management, or addressing anxiety or other underlying issues. Treatment is always individualized.

Alcohol Dependency Treatment
Online in Missouri

If you have been drinking more than you would like, finding it difficult to cut back, or simply want to change your relationship with alcohol — you are not alone, and help is available.

Book Behavioral Health Appointment

At True Zen Wellness, Dr. Shawn Stranckmeyer, MD provides confidential online alcohol dependency treatment for patients throughout Missouri. He is double board-certified in both Family Medicine and Addiction Medicine.

There Is No One-Size-Fits-All Treatment

Treatment can look very different depending on your goals. Some patients want to stop drinking completely, others want to cut back and have more control, reduce cravings, feel better physically and mentally, or simply explore medication-assisted treatment without attending an in-person program.

At True Zen Wellness, treatment is personalized. Dr. Shawn takes time to understand your goals, your health history, and what approach feels realistic and supportive for you.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

For many patients, medication-assisted treatment can be an important part of recovery. This may involve medications that help reduce cravings, make it easier to cut back or stop drinking, and support long-term success. Depending on your situation, Dr. Shawn may discuss medications such as naltrexone, acamprosate, or other appropriate options.

How to Get Started

Schedule a Behavioral Health New Patient Appointment. After scheduling, you will receive confidential forms to complete. During your appointment, you will talk openly about your goals and alcohol use, and Dr. Shawn will create a personalized plan that may include medication, follow-up appointments, or recommendations for additional support.

There is no shame in asking for help. The hardest part is often simply taking the first step.

Hormone Replacement Therapy
Online in Missouri

If you are feeling exhausted, gaining weight, struggling with sleep, noticing a lower sex drive, or simply do not feel like yourself — your hormones may be part of the problem.

Book Hormone Appointment

At True Zen Wellness, Dr. Shawn Stranckmeyer, MD provides personalized hormone replacement therapy online for patients throughout Missouri. Unlike many practices that only look at whether your labs fall within a broad "normal" range, we take a more comprehensive approach — looking at how you are actually feeling, your symptoms, your health history, and your overall hormone levels.

Common Signs of Hormone Imbalance

Fatigue or low energy
Brain fog
Trouble sleeping
Mood changes or irritability
Weight gain
Low libido
Hot flashes / night sweats
Loss of motivation

How Online Hormone Therapy Works at True Zen Wellness

After scheduling your appointment, you will complete intake forms and receive information about recommended lab work. During your telemedicine visit, Dr. Shawn will review your symptoms, medical history, goals, and lab results. If hormone replacement therapy is appropriate, you will receive a customized treatment plan — which may include hormone therapy, supplements, lifestyle recommendations, and follow-up lab monitoring.

Hormone optimization is not one-size-fits-all. Your plan is carefully monitored and adjusted over time based on how you are feeling and updated lab results.

Why Patients Choose True Zen Wellness

Patients choose True Zen Wellness because they want a more personalized experience and direct access to a physician who takes time to listen. You work directly with Dr. Shawn Stranckmeyer throughout the entire process — not a rotating staff of providers or a rushed 10-minute visit.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications
Online in Missouri

If you are struggling to lose weight, feeling frustrated by cravings, or have tried diet and exercise without lasting results, GLP medications may help. At True Zen Wellness, we believe weight loss is about more than simply prescribing medication.

Book Weight Management Appointment

What Are GLP Medications?

GLP medications are prescription medications that help regulate appetite, reduce cravings, improve blood sugar balance, and help you feel fuller longer. At True Zen Wellness, we commonly discuss semaglutide (Ozempic®/Wegovy®), tirzepatide (Mounjaro®/Zepbound®), and the newer triple-receptor medication retatrutide.

The right option depends on your weight loss goals, health history, whether you struggle more with appetite, cravings, insulin resistance, or metabolism, side effects you are concerned about, and cost and availability.

Our Philosophy on Dosing

At True Zen Wellness, we do not believe everyone needs to be pushed quickly to the highest dose possible. Many patients do very well with a lower-dose or microdosing approach — which can help reduce nausea, improve tolerance, support more sustainable weight loss, and find the lowest dose that works for your body.

Why It Matters to Work with a Physician

Your health history, medications, and lab work should be reviewed before starting treatment. Not every patient is a good candidate for every medication. Hormones, thyroid, insulin resistance, and other health issues may also need to be addressed. At True Zen Wellness, Dr. Shawn takes time to evaluate the bigger picture so your treatment plan is safe, appropriate, and personalized.

At CONFIDANCE Camp, we talk about confidence in a deeper way — beyond just pep talks and affirmations. We introduce simple, age-appropriate lessons around mindset, gratitude, energy, and self-awareness.

Not comparing yourself to others — understanding that every girl is unique

Trusting your own voice and learning to use it

Being a good friend and creating healthy, supportive friendships

Handling stress, anxiety, and big emotions in healthy ways
