About Thriving Life Clinic

What is Thriving Life Clinic?

Thriving Life Clinic is a cash-pay longevity and hormone practice at 12117 Bee Caves Rd Bldg 1 Ste. 202 in Bee Cave, Texas 78738. Dr. Delaine Mueller is the only prescriber the clinic names. She is a board-certified Family Medicine physician with over 25 years of experience and advanced training in functional and longevity medicine.

The clinic lists six service areas: longevity medicine, hormonal optimization, fitness testing, metabolic health, cognitive health, and adult care. Hormone therapy gets the most emphasis, for women and men dealing with perimenopause, menopause, or low testosterone. It describes its hormones as bioidentical. Its fitness testing includes DEXA scans and VO2 Max testing. Memberships include both virtual and in-office visits.

It serves patients from Bee Cave, Westlake, Lake Travis, and the greater Austin area. It does not list hours, though it says it offers flexible appointment times. The phone number is 512-254-6474. It has a Google rating of 5 from 6 reviews.

What does it cost?

Some services are priced pay-as-you-go. A DEXA scan is $75 for one or $125 for two. VO2 Max with RMR is $150, and VO2 Max with RMR and DEXA is $225.

Memberships start with an initial fee. The Hormone Package is a $500 initial fee plus $100 a month. It covers the first consultation and blood work, quarterly visits as needed, and a DEXA twice a year. It does not cover repeat blood work, advanced testing, or sick visits. The Prevention plus Package is a $500 initial fee plus $200 a month. The Optimization Package is $500 a month, and the package the clinic labels "Premium Package" is $1,000 a month.

The clinic does not say whether hormone medication is included in the Hormone Package price. It does not take insurance. Memberships are described as having no contracts, but it does not publish cancellation terms. In its own words: "Modern concierge care without the confusion or surprise bills."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $100 monthly Hormone Package fee includes the hormone medication. If it does not, ask what the medication costs and which pharmacy fills it. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic describes bioidentical hormones without naming products.

Ask who writes the prescription and how dosing is adjusted between visits. Ask what repeat blood work, advanced testing, and sick visits cost, because the package leaves all three out.

If weight loss is part of your goal, ask which medications, if any, the clinic offers. It names none. Ask how a membership is cancelled and whether any part of the initial fee is refunded. If you live outside Texas, ask whether virtual visits are available to you, since the clinic does not name the states it serves. Finally, ask for the office hours before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want ongoing cash-pay care from one physician, whether for hormone symptoms or for a testing-based longevity plan, and you live near Bee Cave or can use virtual visits. If you need your visits billed to insurance, this clinic does not do that.
