HORMONE OPTIMIZATION

---

At VIV Wellness, we take a patient-centric, holistic approach to determine the right hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for you. Our process begins with a thorough consultation, where we discuss your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors. We then conduct comprehensive lab testing to evaluate your hormone levels, including key markers such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and adrenal hormones.

Based on your unique results and health goals, we develop a personalized hormone optimization plan that aligns with your body’s needs.

We use bioidentical hormones, which are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by your body, to ensure a safe and effective balance.

Our focus is not only on addressing your symptoms but also on enhancing your long-term health, vitality, and wellness. Throughout your treatment, we provide ongoing support and regular monitoring to adjust your therapy as needed, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Our goal is to help you achieve hormonal harmony for optimal health, longevity, and well-being.

Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are chemically identical to the ones naturally produced by your body. They are derived from plant-based sources, such as yams or soy, and processed to match the molecular structure of your hormones. This makes them highly compatible with your body, allowing for better absorption, utilization, and effectiveness.

In contrast, synthetic hormones are lab-produced and often differ in their chemical structure from the body’s natural hormones.

While synthetic hormones, like those found in medications such as Premarin and Provera, are designed to mimic the effects of natural hormones, they can sometimes produce side effects or adverse reactions because they don’t match the body’s chemistry exactly. Synthetic hormones can also lead to abnormal metabolites, which may increase the risk of conditions like breast cancer or heart disease.

At VIV Wellness, we prioritize the use of bioidentical hormones in our hormone replacement therapy (HRT) programs because they are safer, more effective, and better aligned with the body’s natural processes. This ensures a more personalized approach to hormone optimization, promoting long-term wellness and vitality.

The timeline for seeing results from hormone optimization can vary depending on your individual health, hormone levels, and the specific symptoms being treated. Some patients begin to notice improvements in energy, mood, and sleep quality within a few weeks of starting therapy. For other symptoms, such as weight management, libido, or cognitive function, noticeable changes may take a few months to appear.

At VIV Wellness, we closely monitor your progress, making adjustments as necessary to ensure the optimal balance and effectiveness of your treatment. Our goal is to help you achieve long-term results, so while initial improvements can happen within weeks, the full benefits of hormone optimization may take several months to manifest fully. We are here to support you through every stage of your wellness journey, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs.
