Our Therapies

Hormone Therapies/Aging Support
We specialize in tailoring programs for bio-identical hormone replacement for both men and women. We have found that saliva testing correlates best with patients’ symptoms and complaints. By testing for both adrenal and sex hormone function, we are able to see the bigger picture of what is going on with the patient.

Our MD’s specialize in anabolic (build, repair, and restore) hormone therapy not only for women but also for men, utilizing bio-identical hormones including testosterone and human growth hormone. Our medical team has achieved excellent results when using specialized laboratory testing and hormone creams specially formulated for each patient.

Hypothyroid Conditions
Our approach to thyroid treatment is patient centered. Since there is some debate as to what is truly normal for many of the standard test ranges, we do not depend solely on lab tests, but carefully listen to the patient’s symptoms and also observe signs from the physical examination. We have found that the key to treatment is to find the thyroid hormone preparation that works for the individual patient. These may include Armour Thyroid, Thyrolar, Synthroid, Cytomel, or combinations thereof. For more information, see www.thyroid-info.com

Nutritional Counseling

Our goal at Austin Integrative Medicine is to provide a safe and effective way for patients to reduce the need for multiple medications, if possible. Given the current climate of our population in regard to healthcare, the request and need for this approach to health is growing at an accelerated rate. We recognize that prescription drugs are sometimes necessary and even life-saving, and we are here to facilitate each patient’s quest for health.
