How Hormone Therapy Works

How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works at elev8HRT

A clear, physician-led process from your first call to ongoing care, for women and men across Kingwood, The Woodlands and New Caney.

The process

Six steps to balanced hormones

Every patient follows the same careful path, so nothing is guessed at.

Step 01

Call and schedule

Call our New Caney office at 281-319-4111. We will answer your questions and set up your first visit.

Step 02

Lab work

Blood work measures your hormone levels and related markers, such as thyroid function and blood counts.

Step 03

Consultation

Dr. Bernell reviews your labs, symptoms, history and goals with you, then explains your options.

Step 04

Start treatment

If you are a candidate and choose to proceed, treatment begins, including in-office pellet insertion for EvexiPEL.

Step 05

Follow up

Follow-up labs and visits check how you feel and keep your levels where they should be.

Step 06

Adjust as life changes

Hormone needs shift over time. Your plan is reviewed and updated as you go.

Why testing comes first

Your plan is built on your numbers

Symptoms like fatigue, weight gain and low mood can come from hormones, but they can also come from thyroid problems, low iron, poor sleep or medications. Testing first helps us find the real cause and avoid treating the wrong thing.

Your lab results also set your starting dose. Rechecking them during treatment is how we keep therapy both effective and safe.
