Serving Spicewood · Provided in Lakeway, TX

Hormone therapy for Spicewood, minus the drive into the city.

If you live out along Lake Travis or the Highway 71 corridor, you already know the tax on good care is usually a long haul into Austin. We’re closer than that. THRIVE is a small, lab-guided hormone therapy practice for women and men — EvexiPEL-certified, physician-supervised, and built around your labs instead of a template. Our suite sits a short drive east in Lakeway, and telehealth follow-up keeps lake-country distance from getting in the way.

Serving Spicewood From Lakeway

A lake-country practice, not a city commute.

Spicewood trades traffic for open water and quiet hill land — a good trade, right up until you need a specialist and the nearest one is downtown. We built THRIVE to shorten that trip. Our suite is in Lakeway, a straight run east on 71 and up Ranch Road 620, far nearer than central Austin and free of the parking decks and packed waiting rooms that come with a city practice. For folks around Bee Creek, Briarcliff, and the 78669 zip who want boutique hormone care without the drive, we’re the close option that isn’t a compromise.

Nearer than the city. For most of the Spicewood and Lake Travis area, Lakeway is the closest boutique hormone practice — no run into Austin required.
A named provider, every visit. You see Kristine Kjolhede, FNP-C and our team. Not a rotating queue behind an app.
Built for the distance. Get started in Lakeway, then handle much of your follow-up by telehealth from the lake.

Why Spicewood patients choose a boutique Lakeway practice

Out toward Spicewood, every specialist appointment gets weighed against the drive. That math has a way of pushing hormone care to next month, then the month after — or into a national telehealth funnel that mails the same protocol to everyone, labs be damned. We’re the deliberate opposite. THRIVE is a small practice where hormone optimization is the whole craft, not a line item bolted onto primary care or a med-spa menu.

You feel that focus in the details. An unhurried first visit. A full hormone, thyroid, and metabolic panel read against how you actually feel, not a printout skimmed in ninety seconds. Individualized dosing compounded through the FarmaKeio pharmacy network. And honest follow-up — we retest and adjust over time instead of setting a dose and forgetting your name. When someone’s driving in from the lake, that candor earns its keep. We’d rather earn a trip worth making than sell a subscription you forget you have.

Care for Spicewood Patients

Getting here from Spicewood

From the 78669 area, it’s a clean shot: east on Highway 71, then north on Ranch Road 620 into Lakeway. Figure roughly 25 to 35 minutes depending on where you sit along the lake and what the season’s doing to traffic. You’ll find us at 1017 Ranch Road 620 S, Suite 101, with surface parking right at the door — no garage ticket, no circling the block hunting for a spot. Open the map and directions to plan the route.

First visits happen in person so we can do a proper intake and draw your labs — there’s no shortcut around that part. After that, most patients handle lab reviews and dose check-ins by telehealth, which is the real reason lake-country distance stops mattering. A few things still belong in the clinic, pellet insertions among them. But the ongoing rhythm mostly runs by video from your kitchen table. Where you live shapes how often you come in versus meet online. It doesn’t touch the standard of care.

Ask Us
No — we’re a Lakeway-based practice, with no separate Spicewood location. We serve Spicewood and the wider Lake Travis area from our suite at 1017 Ranch Road 620 S, Suite 101, in Lakeway. For most lake-area residents it’s the closest boutique hormone practice, and telehealth covers a good deal of the ongoing follow-up.
Usually about 25 to 35 minutes — east on Highway 71, north on Ranch Road 620 — depending on where you start along the lake and the time of day. It’s noticeably closer and simpler than driving into central Austin, and there’s easy parking right at our door.
Yes, and it’s a big part of why the distance rarely becomes a problem. Your first visit and labs are in person so we can evaluate you properly. After that, many patients handle lab reviews and dose adjustments by telehealth from home. A few steps, like pellet insertions, stay in the clinic — we’ll map out what needs to be in person for your specific plan.
A real conversation about how you’ve been feeling, then comprehensive hormone testing — a full hormone, thyroid, and metabolic panel. Your provider reads those results against your symptoms, builds an individualized plan, and then we monitor and refine it over time rather than setting it and walking away.
No, and we’ll tell you honestly if it isn’t a fit. Suitability depends on your labs, history, and goals, and some conditions call for caution or a different approach. That evaluation is exactly what the first consultation is for — you leave with clarity, not a hard sell.
