About
Kristian Schoppaul, APRN, FNP-C, is a Defy Medical nurse practitioner focused on hormone replacement therapy. She earned a BSN from the University of South Florida and an MSN from Chamberlain University, then entered family nurse practitioner practice with Florida APRN credentials. Her pre-NP nursing background spans ER, ICU, COVID ICU, oncology, cardiology, PACU, pediatrics, newborn care, and sports medicine. Her source bio connects that breadth to HRT care that pays attention to mood, energy, libido, joint health, and strength.
What to Know
Signature approach
Schoppaul brings a broad acute-care and specialty nursing base into hormone replacement visits. The ER, ICU, oncology, cardiology, pediatric, and sports-medicine background helps her read symptoms in context before narrowing to HRT decisions. At Defy, that means lab review, symptom history, lifestyle context, and hormone goals are brought into the same plan.
What sets them apart
- Broad nursing background. ER, ICU, COVID ICU, oncology, cardiology, PACU, pediatrics, newborn care, and sports medicine create a wide clinical base.
- Sports-medicine bridge into HRT. Her source bio says sports medicine introduced her to hormone replacement therapy.
- Family nurse practitioner scope. FNP-C training supports adult hormone care while retaining a broad primary-care lens.
Before You Book
- Confirm provider assignment. Ask during intake if you want Schoppaul specifically.
- Use the hormone-care workflow. Defy requires labs and recent physical exam status before prescribing.
- Check state availability. Telehealth prescribing and lab access vary by location.
