Longevity & Hormones
Functional medicine, hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and anti-aging protocols — evidence-based and physician-supervised in Ajijic.
Functional & Longevity Medicine
Early detection and prevention of diseases of aging. We look beyond symptoms to identify root causes — metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, nutritional deficiencies — and build personalized protocols to address them.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Bio-identical hormone replacement for women — estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA. Topical, oral, and pellet implant delivery methods. Carefully monitored with regular labs and dose adjustments.
Testosterone Optimization
Evidence-based testosterone replacement for men experiencing hypogonadism, low energy, reduced muscle mass, or mood changes. Dr. Hernández is fully certified in testosterone replacement therapy including pellet implants.
Peptide Therapy
Targeted peptide protocols that regulate healing, hormone production, metabolism, and cellular repair — supporting recovery, anti-aging, and longevity. Peptides work at the cellular level to enhance the body's natural processes without the side effects of traditional hormones.
Anti-Aging Medicine
Comprehensive protocols targeting cellular health and longevity — including NAD+ support, mitochondrial optimization, advanced lipid panels, and lifestyle intervention. Designed for patients who want to age on their own terms.
Advanced Preventive Screening
Beyond standard labs — advanced cardiovascular risk panels, inflammatory markers, comprehensive thyroid panels, micronutrient testing, and genetic risk assessment where indicated.
Medical Weight Loss
Medical supervision of weight loss including metabolic assessment, nutritional counseling, medication management where appropriate, and coordination with bariatric surgery specialists.
Longevity & Hormone FAQ
Yes. Dr. Hernández follows the same evidence-based protocols used by US physicians, using bio-identical hormones and regular monitoring. We coordinate with US labs and can share records with your physicians back home.
Bio-identical hormones have a molecular structure identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. Many patients find them better tolerated than synthetic alternatives. Dr. Hernández will guide you through the evidence and what is right for your specific situation.
Conventional medicine typically treats symptoms. Functional medicine investigates why those symptoms exist — looking at diet, hormones, gut health, inflammation, genetics, and lifestyle. It is not an alternative to conventional medicine; it complements it with a deeper investigation of root causes.
Yes. Hormone pellets are small, bio-identical hormone pellets implanted under the skin, typically every 3–6 months. They provide steady, consistent hormone levels without the daily fluctuation of topical or oral methods. Dr. Hernández is certified in pellet implantation.
