Your Health and Hormone Optimization Journey
Assessing the complete picture of your current health and designing opportunities to create the optimal version of you at any age is our passion. As we have all experienced in traditional medicine, this cannot be achieved in 15 minutes!
To establish an initial picture of where you are now and co-create a plan to build the optimal future version of you, we will devote over three hours of dedicated time over three visits to focus only on you and your needs. (Including 2 ½ hours of in person time and an hour of dedicated preparation and documentation time.)
Your first 30-minute visit can be completed at either of our Houston locations, and is gathering important information about you! We draw an extensive blood panel (our lab accepts all major insurance and specializes in women’s health. We order specific tests related to your hormone status, general wellness, nutrient and inflammatory status and risks for common diseases including cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, diabetes and others, so we do not accept outside labs). Please come in fasting (zero-added tea, coffee or water only) so we can get an accurate result. One of our nurses will review your history, collect vital signs and InBody body composition, and review your goals and how you envision your optimal second half of life. Based on your specific needs we will provide you with resources to help empower you with education before meeting with your provider to create your personalized plan. If you need routine screening (mammogram, bone density, colonoscopy etc.) we will get those ordered right away.
Your second visit will last 90 minutes (including a full 60 minutes of face-to-face provider time), and you can choose one of our highly trained Physicians or Menopause Certified Nurse Practitioners for this visit. Some patients choose to have this visit remotely, although we still believe in the power of in-person connection when possible.
At this visit we will review every aspect of your health, including hormone optimization, as well as focusing on exercise, nutrition, sleep/rest, sexual and relational wellness and stress management. We will recommend all appropriate screening tests for assessment of cancer risk, heart disease risk, diabetes risk, strategies to reduce cognitive decline, and discuss options for higher level micronutrient and gut testing, and cardiorespiratory fitness testing (VO2Max).
We believe that food is the best source of nutrients, but we will recommend any supplements that have scientific evidence to support their use in individual patients. Together we will create your vision, and design scientifically backed steps to get you there, so you can maximize your Holistic Healthspan (living a long time in great emotional and physical health). What do you want to be able to do when you are 70, 80, 90 or older? Let’s create a plan to make that possible, because you are worth it, and our loved ones need us!
Your third visit will last 30 minutes and will follow-up to see how you are doing, go over repeat lab work and any testing that we ordered, and make any necessary adjustments to your plan.
After your initial three visits we will plan to see you every three-six months based on your individual needs.
