Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become deficient, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing deficient hormones with bioidentical versions can restore optimal levels, allowing patients to feel healthy, energetic and youthful again.
Bioidentical hormones are custom-compounded in a lab based on the patient's individual hormonal needs. They are made from plant sources and are biochemically identical to endogenous human hormones. This allows them to bind to hormone receptors and mimic the action of naturally occurring hormones in the body.
Comprehensive lab testing of hormone levels is needed to determine if a deficiency exists before beginning bioidentical hormone replacement. Blood, saliva or urine tests check levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and thyroid.
If testing reveals a deficiency, our highly trained hormone specialists will custom compound bioidentical hormones at the precise doses needed to restore optimal levels based on the patient's symptoms, health history and test results.

HormoVital specializes in state-of-the-art bioidentical hormone replacement therapy tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Our board-certified hormone specialists have over 20 years collective experience restoring hormones for men and women across Texas.
We pride ourselves on taking a holistic, natural approach to HRT through:
The first step is diagnostic blood, saliva and/or urine testing which checks levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid and more. Deficiencies are determined based on the patient's age and optimal reference ranges. Test results are carefully reviewed by our hormone specialists to develop a customized treatment regimen meeting the patient's individual requirements.
Once a hormone deficit is identified, we formulate a personalized prescription for FDA-approved, natural bioidentical hormones in the precise doses needed to restore balance. Prescriptions are custom compounded in cream, capsule, sublingual and injectable forms for ease of use, comfort and consistent dosing.
Follow-up testing is conducted at regular intervals to ensure hormones are being replaced at optimal levels as the patient's needs change over time. We work closely with patients to continually adjust dosages based on follow-up test results and symptom response.
In addition to bioidentical hormone prescribing, we offer evidence-based lifestyle counseling to help patients achieve the best possible results from HRT. Recommendations may include:
We understand each patient has unique needs so our lifestyle guidance is custom-tailored for superior outcomes with HRT. We proudly partner with patients to help them look and feel their absolute best.
Declining hormones underlie many unwanted signs of aging that emerge in midlife. But not everyone realizes low hormones threaten long-term health in serious ways:
Additionally, deficiencies sap energy, disrupt sleep, cloud thinking, crush libidos and dampen moods - robbing people of joie de vivre.
The takeaway...acting promptly at the first signs of hormone decline prevents progression to risky extremes. Like any gradual process, it's easier to intervene early before major health consequences take root.
HormoVital offers cutting-edge testing and bioidentical replacement therapies to quickly restore optimal hormone balance. We also provide ongoing monitoring and dosage adjustments which are key - hormone needs change over time.
Our mission is supporting patients to enjoy sustained wellness, strength and vitality throughout the aging process. We consider it a privilege to guide our patients on this journey.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies comparing health outcomes of bioidenticals vs synthetics are lacking, so claims about superiority of one over the other are currently unproven.
The main hormones that decline with aging are estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Thyroid and DHEA deficiencies also frequently occur. Our testing thoroughly examines levels of all key hormones.
Initial baseline testing creates a starting point to assess deficiencies. Repeat testing every 4-6 months allows for ongoing customization and dosage adjustments attuned to the patient's changing needs.
Most patients report increased energy, more restful sleep, balanced moods, easier weight control, restored libido and an all-around improved sense of well-being within a few months.
Comprehensive testing combined with closely monitored, individualized dosing makes bioidentical HRT extremely safe compared to one-size-fits all synthetic hormones. We also address lifestyle factors like fitness and nutrition for optimal safety.
Our long track record of success sets us apart. We invest extensive time listening and developing customized plans addressing the patient’s unique needs. Our commitment to delivering outstanding wellness outcomes is unmatched.
