About Liv HRT
Liv HRT is a small Austin practice founded in 2025 by nurse practitioner Kristen Bernal and her husband Adolfo, who runs the office. She is the sole clinician and spent seven years in primary care at an Austin integrative practice beforehand. Care spans bioidentical hormone therapy, testosterone for women, thyroid treatment for Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, hormone-focused hair-loss treatment, and compounded GLP-1 weight management, prescribed through either retail or compounding pharmacies depending on the case. Patients start with a free 15-minute phone consult, then a 30-minute new-patient visit, with follow-up at six weeks and roughly every six months once a dose is stable. The office is in central Austin and she is licensed to see patients anywhere in Texas by telemedicine.
