Hormone Therapy

Evidence-Based. Individualized. No One-Size-Fits-All Protocol.

At Vitality & Wellness Group, our hormone therapy utilizes bioidentical hormones that are individualized, medically supervised, and adjusted based on how you feel over time.

Hormone Therapy for Women

Perimenopause and menopause can be associated with a range of symptoms including:

- Hot flashes and night sweats

- Sleep disruption

- Vaginal dryness or discomfort

- Changes in sexual function

- Mood changes

- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

- Changes in energy and overall well-being

Menopause treatment with hormone therapy is recognized as the most effective solution for managing bothersome hot flashes and night sweats. Additionally, it can aid in alleviating genitourinary symptoms linked to menopause. Treatment may involve bioidentical hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, tailored to fit your individual needs through careful consideration of formulation, dose, and delivery route.

What About Testosterone?

For some carefully selected women, testosterone may be evaluated as part of the hormone therapy plan—especially if low sexual desire is a persistent issue. However, testosterone is not routinely included in every hormone regimen. We will discuss its appropriateness based on your specific symptoms, health history, current therapy, and treatment goals.

Hormone Therapy for Men

In men experiencing symptoms related to testosterone deficiency, our evaluation process includes a review of symptoms, medical history, relevant laboratory testing, and assessment of other potential contributing causes. When testosterone therapy is deemed appropriate, it encompasses ongoing monitoring and medication adjustments based on your clinical response and lab results.

Sometimes It Isn't Just Hormones

This aspect of my approach is crucial. Fatigue, weight changes, poor sleep, brain fog, low libido, and an overall feeling of “not being yourself” can occur during hormonal changes—but hormones may not explain everything. Factors such as thyroid function, insulin resistance, nutrient deficiencies, sleep issues, stress, medications, and other metabolic variables can also play a role.

For certain patients, straightforward hormone management with bioidentical hormones is sufficient. For others, we may collaboratively choose a more comprehensive evaluation through the Targeted Optimization or Advanced Vitality programs that suits your situation better.

Your First Visit

Every new patient begins with a thorough consultation where we will review:

- Current symptoms and concerns

- Medical and family history

- Previous treatments

- Current medications and supplements

- Relevant laboratory results

- Personal goals and treatment preferences

From this discussion, I will recommend the simplest level of care that effectively meets your needs—whether that involves hormone management alone or a more comprehensive approach.
