Lab-driven hormone optimization for men and women. Restore energy, mood, body composition, and vitality — without guesswork. Led by Dr. Flávio, DNP, AACC.
Hormone Therapy in Fort Myers
Hormones govern nearly every system in your body: how you store fat, how you build muscle, how you sleep, how you recover, how clearly you think, and how alive you feel. When they drift out of optimal range — as they inevitably do with age, stress, and environmental factors — the symptoms are pervasive and often dismissed as "just getting older."
Dr. Flávio doesn’t accept that premise. At Solace in Fort Myers, his hormone optimization program begins with a comprehensive panel that measures not just total hormone levels, but free fractions, binding proteins, metabolic co-factors, and thyroid function in full depth. Most primary care offices order two or three markers. Dr. Flávio orders the full picture — because that’s the only way to dose safely and precisely.
The result is a protocol that is individual to you: the right hormone, the right form, the right dose, adjusted over time based on how your labs and symptoms respond. This is not one-size-fits-all TRT or a generic menopause prescription. It is precision medicine.

Men’s & Women’s Programs
Low testosterone affects an estimated 1 in 4 men over 30 — and the symptoms are often attributed to stress or lifestyle rather than physiology. Fatigue, loss of muscle, increased body fat, low libido, poor sleep, and diminished drive are clinical signals, not character flaws.
Dr. Flávio’s men’s HRT program restores testosterone to physiologically optimal levels — not just above the lab reference floor. Protocols are individualized and monitored with regular labs, including hematocrit, PSA, and estradiol to ensure safety and efficacy.
Women’s hormonal health is dramatically more complex than men’s — involving the interplay of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, and insulin across a monthly cycle and across decades of hormonal transition. Dr. Flávio has the depth of training to address all of it.
His women’s program addresses perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause, and premenopausal imbalances equally. Bioidentical hormone options are available. Protocols are built around your symptoms, your labs, your life stage, and your risk profile — not a generic formula.
Integrated with Aesthetic Care
Estrogen and testosterone are the two most important hormones for skin health: they maintain collagen density, hydration, and wound healing capacity. When these hormones decline, skin thins, elasticity drops, and recovery from aesthetic treatments slows. Restoring them to optimal levels creates a biological environment where microneedling, neurotoxin treatments, and skincare protocols produce better, longer-lasting results.
This is the integrated advantage of Solace: Dr. Flávio’s medical protocols work in coordination with our aesthetic team so that every result — inside and out — is compounding rather than independent. Patients who combine hormone optimization with our HydraFacial and advanced facials consistently report skin changes that neither treatment could produce alone.
Fort Myers patients looking for hormone therapy near Cape Coral, Estero, or Bonita Springs will find that Dr. Flávio’s program at Solace represents a standard of care that is difficult to match anywhere in Southwest Florida.

Hormone Therapy FAQ
Hormone therapy at Solace is a lab-driven optimization program led by Dr. Flávio, DNP, AACC. We test a comprehensive hormone panel, identify imbalances, and design a personalized protocol using bioidentical or conventional hormones as appropriate. All dosing is based on your individual labs and symptoms — not reference range averages.
When properly prescribed and monitored, hormone therapy has a strong safety profile. The risk landscape has evolved significantly since the 2002 WHI study — newer research on bioidentical hormones shows favorable outcomes for most patients. Dr. Flávio reviews each patient’s individual risk factors, including cardiovascular history, before recommending any protocol, and monitors labs regularly throughout treatment.
Most patients notice initial improvements in energy, sleep, and mood within 2–4 weeks of starting. Full optimization — including body composition changes, libido improvement, and cognitive clarity — typically takes 2–3 months as levels stabilize and protocols are fine-tuned based on follow-up labs.
Hormonal imbalances can occur at any age. Thyroid dysfunction, low testosterone in younger men, perimenopause in women in their 30s, and adrenal dysregulation are all common presentations that respond well to targeted hormone support. Dr. Flávio evaluates all patients without age bias — the labs and symptoms guide the decision, not the patient’s age.
Dr. Flávio runs comprehensive panels including total and free testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, DHEA-S, cortisol, full thyroid (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3), fasting insulin, and growth factors as clinically appropriate. This full-picture approach is what allows precision dosing rather than generic supplementation.
