Texas has a significant gap between endometriosis prevalence and specialist availability. While major metro areas like Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio have some surgical specialists, vast regions of Texas—especially rural areas and smaller communities—have virtually no endometriosis providers. Telehealth eliminates this geographic barrier. Based in Austin, we serve Texas women statewide with the same specialized care available to major metropolitan centers.
Even Texas women fortunate enough to access a skilled endometriosis surgeon often find themselves stranded for the comprehensive post-surgical and systemic care their symptoms require. Surgery addresses lesions. It doesn't address the sensitized nervous system, gut dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, immune activation, or the mind-body patterns that frequently persist after even successful excision.
Because Luteal Health operates as a cash-pay practice, we're not subject to the limitations of insurance networks, referral requirements, or lengthy wait times that plague Texas's traditional medical system. You can access care directly, without prior authorization delays. This model prioritizes your health over administrative obstacles.
We serve all of Texas via telehealth: from the panhandle to the Gulf Coast, from El Paso to the piney woods of East Texas, and everywhere in between. One provider. One coordinated plan. All from Austin.
Traditional Texas medical practice fragments endometriosis care across multiple specialists who rarely communicate. You see a gynecologist, a GI doctor, a pelvic floor therapist, possibly a pain management specialist—and coordinate everything yourself. The Luteal Protocol consolidates this into one integrated four-month program with one provider managing your complete clinical picture across all six systems driving your symptoms.
The cash-pay model matters in Texas. Unlike insurance-based care, you don't wait weeks for authorization approvals. You don't navigate networks of in-network versus out-of-network providers. You book. You attend. You get care. Your 90-minute initial assessment isn't rushed because Heather isn't being squeezed into a 15-minute insurance slot.
The six systems addressed in the Luteal Protocol: Mind & Body (pain perception, pelvic floor tension, and intimacy impacts), Nervous System (addressing pain amplification and sensitization), Hormones (addressing progesterone resistance and estrogen dominance specific to your cycle), Gut (treating estrogen recycling and inflammation that many Texas patients experience), Immune System (mast cell activation, inflammatory cytokines, and immune surveillance), and Lifestyle (movement, stress management, nutrition tailored to your individual needs).
Most Texas endometriosis care stops at surgery or medication management. The Luteal Protocol starts where that care ends—with the deeper systemic work that actually prevents recurrence and allows women to reclaim their quality of life.
All sessions are conducted via secure, encrypted video from your home or anywhere in Texas. Whether you're in Tyler, Corpus Christi, Amarillo, or Austin itself, you access the same specialized care without traveling to a clinic. You schedule visits that work for your life, attend from wherever you are, and maintain direct messaging access to your provider between sessions for real-time support and adjustments.
Scheduling accommodates all Texas time zones and lifestyles. Your 90-minute comprehensive assessment isn't a rushed consultation—it's dedicated, unhurried time to build your full clinical picture. Ongoing visits give you space to discuss what's actually happening in your body without the pressure of a typical insurance-limited appointment model.
Between sessions, direct messaging means you don't have to wait weeks for a follow-up visit if something needs adjustment. You have access to your provider for clarification, support, and real-time modifications to your treatment plan.
All telehealth communication occurs through a HIPAA-compliant platform with end-to-end encryption. Your privacy is protected. Your data is never shared with third parties. Clinical notes are available for your records and coordinated with any other Texas-based providers you're working with (surgeons, pelvic floor physical therapists, primary care physicians, etc.).
