There’s a quiet shift happening in how we care for our bodies, and if you live in Summerlin or Northwest Las Vegas, you might already feel it. More and more people are looking beyond symptom relief and starting to ask why they’re feeling off in the first place. This is where functional medicine in Summerlin and Northwest Las Vegas comes in, and it’s something we’re passionate about at Vitality Medical and Wellness Center.

Hi, I’m Dr. Cristy. I’ve spent years helping patients get to the root of their health concerns, and I can confidently say that functional medicine has changed the game for so many people in our community.

 


 

What Makes Functional Medicine Different?

Traditional medicine is incredible when it comes to acute care. We need it. But when it comes to chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, stubborn weight gain, stress, or gut issues that keep coming back, a different approach is often needed.

Functional medicine is about finding and treating the root causes of symptoms instead of just masking them. It’s highly personalized, based on your body, your history, your lifestyle, and your labs. It’s medicine that works with you, not just on you.

 


 

Common Health Concerns We See Here in Las Vegas

Here in Summerlin and Northwest Las Vegas, life moves fast. The dry desert climate, shift work schedules, and everyday stress can take a toll on your health. At Vitality, we often work with patients who are dealing with:

  • Chronic fatigue and burnout

  • Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight

  • Hormonal changes related to perimenopause, menopause, or andropause

  • Low energy and poor sleep

  • Thyroid and adrenal imbalances

  • Anxiety, mood shifts, and brain fog

These are real issues, and you’re not alone. The good news is, they’re also treatable when we take the time to understand the full picture.

 


 

A Comprehensive Approach You Can Feel Good About

At Vitality, we combine the best of functional medicine and family practice. Whether you need a full blood workup, vitamin B shots, IV therapy, hormone balancing, or a custom supplement and wellness plan, our goal is to create a strategy that fits you.

We also offer telemedicine, so if you’re managing a busy life or live farther out in the Las Vegas Valley, we’re still able to meet with you and monitor your progress remotely.

 


 

You Deserve More Than a Quick Fix

Your health journey is personal. Maybe you’ve been told everything looks “normal” but you don’t feel normal. Maybe you’ve tried diets, prescriptions, or treatments that only helped a little or not at all. That’s where functional medicine can fill the gap.

We take the time to look deeper, to ask better questions, and to help you build sustainable habits that support your long-term wellness.
