About Younique Wellness Medicine
A solo, fully virtual membership practice for midlife women across Texas, run by a physician board certified in family, obesity and lifestyle medicine who is also a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. The membership covers an hour-long first consultation, seven follow-ups a year, secure messaging between visits, prescription management and lab interpretation, while medication, labs and imaging are billed separately. Hormone therapy is offered but not part of every plan, with non-hormonal options discussed instead. The practice declines to use hormone pellets, citing unpredictable dosing. Care is given in English and Spanish, and the physician describes herself as working alongside a patient's existing doctors rather than replacing them.
