Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

LDN has been explored for its potential in supporting autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and inflammatory disorders. It is commonly used in conditions such as fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Research also suggests potential benefits for neurological conditions, mood disorders, and immune system regulation.

LDN is generally well-tolerated, but it’s important to check for potential interactions. Certain medications, especially opioids and immunosuppressants, may interfere with its effects. Always consult with your healthcare provider before combining LDN with other medications to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Naltrexone is FDA-approved in higher doses for treating opioid and alcohol dependence. However, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is not officially FDA-approved for conditions like autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, or inflammation but is commonly prescribed off-label based on emerging research and clinical use.

LDN is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience temporary side effects as their body adjusts. These can include vivid dreams, difficulty sleeping, headaches, nausea, dizziness, or mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Most side effects are mild and resolve over time. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider

At Joi+ Blokes, we take a holistic, preventative approach to care, which means many advanced treatments and lab tests are not typically covered by insurance. However, we do offer insurance-pay options for certain prescriptions:

• Women’s health medications like estrogen and progesterone can be sent to your local pharmacy, where you may use your insurance benefits.
• Thyroid medications will be sent to your local pharmacy, allowing you to utilize your insurance coverage.
• FDA-approved GLP-1/GIP medications for weight loss and type 2 diabetes, including Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro, may also be eligible for coverage.

While we assist with prior authorizations and prescription submissions, we do not bill insurance directly. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.

Yes! You can use your HSA or FSA funds to cover eligible purchases. We are happy to provide a detailed receipt and a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your provider. You can then submit these documents to your HSA/FSA account for potential reimbursement. Since coverage varies by plan, we recommend checking with your provider to confirm eligibility.
