Normal is not optimal. Health optimization means getting you to the place where you feel like you best self physically, mentally, and emotionally. Optimizing your life means getting your energy back, sleeping well, balancing hormones, supporting metabolism, and giving you the tools to function at your highest level on a day to day basis.

Integrative medicine blends traditional medical care with complementary therapies providing a deeper approach. Instead of treating what’s right in front of us on the surface, we take the time to look at why it’s happening. Taking a look at the whole picture – things like hormones, lifestyle, nutrition, gut health, inflammation, stress, environment and lab data. It’s modern medicine with a more personalized touch to find the root-cause of the problem.

Traditional primary care is great for quick visits, sick visits, and insurance-based care, but it often doesn’t allow time to get to the bottom of chronic issues. Integrative medicine takes a deeper dive. We use advanced labs, longer appointments, and targeted therapies to truly understand what your body needs so we can treat the root cause, not just mask the symptoms.

At VitalEdge Health & Wellness, there is no such thing as a one size fits all template. Every person is different and so is their treatment plan. Plans may include labs, nutritional guidance, hormone balancing, supplements, medication when appropriate, targeted lifestyle strategies, or other personalized recommendations. We also take time to listen. So often patients are told everything is “normal” when they know it isn’t. We believe you and we will figure it out together.
Appointments are never rushed; our goal is to help answer your questions and help you feel better.

Hormone Replacement Therapy has been absolutely life changing for many people because hormones influence every system in the body. Everything including energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, libido, cognitive function, and overall quality of life are influenced by our hormones. As we age or go through major hormonal shifts, levels naturally decline or become imbalanced; This is when symptoms start showing up.

HRT helps restore those levels to their optimal values. This is where your body functions best so you can feel like yourself again, not just “normal” for your age. When done correctly with careful monitoring and individualized dosing, HRT supports long-term health, protects bone density, improves cardiovascular and metabolic markers, decreases cancer and Alzheimer’s risk, all-cause mortality and helps you stay active, sharp, and thriving at every stage of life.
