When pharmaceutical drugs and surgery failed to help his father, Steven F. Hotze, M.D., began a search for alternative solutions to treat his heart disease. The safe, natural treatments that he discovered enabled his father to live eight more productive years and completely transformed Dr. Hotze’s approach to medicine. In 1989, Dr. Hotze founded the Hotze Health & Wellness Center in Houston, Texas, in order to offer a revolutionary approach to achieving optimal health. It centers around listening to the patient and providing them with natural solutions, including thyroid supplementation, bioidentical hormones, allergy immunotherapy, vitamin supplementation, and a balanced eating program all designed to detoxify and renew the body. In 2005, Dr. Hotze published his findings in his first book, Hormones, Health, and Happiness, followed by his best-selling book, Hypothyroidism, Health & Happiness, in 2013. Because of his vision of a transformative approach to health care, over 30,000 patients have come to the Hotze Health & Wellness Center to restore their health and enjoy a better quality of life.
