PH Test Zinnia 1108
Your hormones and energy, looked at together
Functional medicine in Austin for hormone health and energy.
How it works
From first conversation to a plan
- 01
Tell us how your days go
A first functional medicine visit usually covers your symptoms, your sleep, what you eat and your health history.
- 02
Labs where they help
Bloodwork can show hormone levels and other markers that a conversation can't.
- 03
Talk through your plan
You go over what your results show and what a plan could include. Hormone therapy is a prescription: a licensed clinician decides whether it fits, and not everyone qualifies.
- 04
Keep the plan current
If you start a prescription, your clinician decides whether the dose stays, changes or stops, and sets when your labs are rechecked.
Hormones, sleep and the rest of your day
Functional medicine considers your hormones alongside your sleep, your food, your stress and the medications you already take. Tiredness, for example, is commonly linked to sleep, thyroid function, iron levels or stress, so it is rarely read from one symptom alone.
Questions
Questions people ask us
What is functional medicine?
It is a way of practicing medicine that asks why a symptom is happening, not only what it is.
Who comes to see you?
People in Austin with questions about their hormones or low energy, including perimenopause, menopause or testosterone.
How are hormones tested?
Hormone levels are usually measured with a blood test. For some hormones, the time of day of the draw matters.
Will I be put on hormones?
Not necessarily. Hormone therapy is one option among several, and a plan may not include any prescription at all.
Does this replace my regular doctor?
No. Functional medicine works alongside your primary care, so it helps to keep your regular doctor informed about your plan.
