October is Women’s Health month. It is supposed to trigger women to remember about their well woman exams, like PAPs and breast exams, but a woman’s health entails much more than that.
Heart disease is still the number one killer of women. Women present differently than men when having cardiac symptoms. Consequently, they sometimes get brushed off as having heartburn and not treated properly in the emergency setting.
Did you know:
Even though estrogen is an important hormone, it is not for all women. There is a timeline for starting treatment. If initiated prior to 10 years into menopause, then there is a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). If initiated after 10 years of being menopausal, the risk and benefit should be discussed with your provider. Have you had your heart scan or carotid ultrasound lately?
While heart disease is the top killer of women, breast cancer is probably the most feared diagnosis. As Dr. Hotze indicated, there are numerous things a woman can do to lessen the risk.
In the past, just talking to a woman about her female symptoms gave that medical provider enough information to prescribe female hormones. Functional medicine, which we practice, has come a long way. We are now able to test actual hormone levels by serum, saliva, and now, dried urine. Women that are having a harder time feeling balanced with their hormones should have the dried urine testing done. This allows your provider to look at your metabolites and see how your body is processing the hormones you are taking. By taking DIM and other supplements, unhealthy pathways can be routed to healthy pathways and lessen the worry about breast cancer.
If you have questions about your heart, cancer risk or any other health issues, we’re here to help. Contact a wellness consultant today for a complimentary wellness consultation at 281-698-8698.

They are the most efficient, thorough and caring group of individuals I’ve ever experienced. Dr Hotze looks to change the way a typical doctor treats patients and looks for root causes to eliminate medical issues instead of treating “symptoms”.

Everyone is kind and helpful.Kori Misson2022-12-21I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
