Your body is changing.
Get care made for this moment.

Declining estrogen affects the whole body. We treat the full picture: symptoms, sleep, mood, and long-term health.

Menopause is more than a diagnosis.

⎯ CONDITIONS WE SUPPORT

Every symptom is connected. We treat them together, with your long-term health in mind.

Hot Flashes & Night Sweats

Acupuncture and medicinal herbs are clinically studied for hot flashes. We treat the pattern driving yours.

Sleep & Insomnia

We address night sweats and the rhythms that keep you from deep, steady rest.

Mood, Anxiety & Brain Fog

These are real physiological changes, not "in your head," and we treat them that way.

Irregular Cycles & Perimenopause

Changes can start years before your last period. Early support makes a difference.

Joint Pain, Fatigue & Weight

Connected changes, treated together rather than one at a time.

Bone, Heart & Brain Health

Care during the transition shapes your health for the years ahead.

One plan, built around your pattern.

Your first visit is 90 minutes. We review your symptoms, cycles, and overall health. Nothing is rushed.

  • Acupuncture
  • Herbal medicine
  • Hormone & metabolic labs

What patients ask before starting

⎯ COMMON QUESTIONS

  • Perimenopause can begin as early as the mid-to-late 30s, though most women notice changes in their 40s. If your cycles are shifting, your mood feels different, or your sleep has changed, it's worth an evaluation from your trusted healthcare provider — regardless of your age. We don't wait for a final period to start meaningful support.

  • Absolutely not. While hormone therapy is a safe and effective option for many women, we offer a full spectrum of integrative approaches — acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional support, and lifestyle interventions. We'll discuss all options honestly and respect your preferences throughout.

  • Any recent lab work, a list of current medications and supplements, and a brief journal of your symptoms if you've been keeping one. Most importantly, bring your questions — we want to hear everything that's on your mind.

  • We typically recommend 8 sessions for a structured course of hormonal support — one comprehensive intake followed by 7 weekly treatments. This allows enough time to build a sustained physiological response and adjust your plan as your body responds. Some patients continue with maintenance care beyond the initial series.

    Dr. Bustillo is exceptional and is so talented, I’m so grateful he’s shared his gifts and expertise with me through Baylor Scott & White’s integrated medicine division over the past 5+ years. There are few people in the world like Dr. Bustillo who are knowledgeable and compassionate to such an extraordinary degree - thank you for your years of service in Austin!

    My experience with Dr. Bustillo was exceptional. Not only is he highly skilled in his field, but he also shows a genuine care and compassion for his patients. He is truly an outstanding person to have on your healthcare team, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for acupuncture. I am incredibly grateful to have been his patient and wish him all the best in his move to Oregon.

    Anyone who finds themselves lucky enough to call Dr. Bustillo their doctor knows that he is the absolute best at what he does in so many ways! I came to him first for shoulder pain, and then for help with fertility needs. He is attentive, caring, kind and always made me feel like I was in the best hands for the care I needed at the moment. He is a gem of a person - as both an acupuncturist and a human being.

    I came to Dr. Bustillo after experiencing pain in my lower back for years. After one session I was able to stand straight. After six sessions I was able to travel out of the country walk for miles and never experienced any problems. Later in the year I was told I needed to have surgery for a torn rotator cuff. I went to see Dr. Bustillo again and have not need to have surgery. I would recommend him without hesitation as one of the finest human beings I have ever met as well as a skilled and talented doctor in the field of acupuncture and wellness. He is leaving the Austin Area and if necessary I will travel to wherever he is. He is just that good.
