In the evolving landscape of women’s health, there is a growing need for specialized care that addresses the unique challenges women face as they age. Dr. Cristy Thomas, founder of Vitality Medical & Wellness Center, is at the forefront of this movement, offering a holistic approach that integrates wellness, preventative care, and aesthetic services tailored to women over the age of 35. In her recent interview with Las Vegas Now, Dr. Thomas passionately discussed her mission to empower women to take control of their health through personalized care plans that address both physical and emotional well-being.

Women’s Health with Vitality Medical & Wellness Center

The Importance of Specialized Women’s Health Care

As women enter their mid-thirties and beyond, they often encounter a variety of health challenges that are distinct from those faced in earlier years. Issues such as fatigue, decreased libido, brain fog, sleep disturbances, and weight gain are common but often misunderstood or inadequately treated. Dr. Thomas emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes and addressing them with a comprehensive approach that considers all aspects of a woman’s health.

“At Vitality Medical & Wellness Center, we recognize that women’s health needs are multifaceted,” Dr. Thomas explains. “Our goal is to provide care that not only addresses the symptoms but also uncovers the underlying causes. This approach allows us to create personalized wellness plans that truly meet the needs of each individual.”

A Comprehensive Approach to Wellness

The cornerstone of Dr. Thomas’s practice is a comprehensive wellness panel that includes hormone, vitamin, and nutrition evaluations. This thorough assessment provides valuable insights into a woman’s overall health and helps identify potential imbalances that may be contributing to her symptoms. By evaluating factors such as sleep patterns, energy levels, stress, and lifestyle, Dr. Thomas and her team can develop a customized wellness plan that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term health goals.

“One of the most common issues we see in women over 35 is a slight but significant weight gain, coupled with a decrease in energy levels,” Dr. Thomas notes. “These changes are often related to hormonal imbalances, which can be effectively managed with the right combination of lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, and, when appropriate, medication.”

The Role of Hormonal Balance in Women’s Health

Hormonal balance plays a critical role in a woman’s overall health and well-being. As women age, levels of key hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can fluctuate, leading to a variety of symptoms, including mood swings, weight gain, and decreased libido. Dr. Thomas stresses the importance of monitoring hormone levels and addressing any imbalances through a combination of natural therapies and, when necessary, hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

“At Vitality, we take a personalized approach to hormone management,” says Dr. Thomas. “We start with a detailed hormone panel to determine the specific imbalances each woman is experiencing. From there, we create a customized treatment plan that may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications. Our goal is to restore balance and help women feel like themselves again.”

Weight Management Solutions Tailored to Women

Weight management is a significant concern for many women, particularly as they approach middle age. The natural slowing of metabolism, combined with hormonal changes, can make it increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy weight. Dr. Thomas and her team offer a range of weight management solutions designed to support women in achieving and maintaining their weight goals.

“Effective weight management is about more than just diet and exercise,” Dr. Thomas explains. “It requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account each woman’s unique physiology, lifestyle, and health goals. At Vitality, we offer medically supervised weight loss programs that include nutritional counseling, fitness guidance, and, when appropriate, the use of medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide.”

These medications, which have gained popularity for their effectiveness in promoting weight loss, are used with caution at Vitality Medical & Wellness Center. Dr. Thomas ensures that patients are closely monitored to prevent potential side effects and to ensure that they are meeting their nutritional needs.

The Vital Role of Nutrition and Supplementation

Nutrition is a fundamental component of overall health, and at Vitality Medical & Wellness Center, it is given the attention it deserves. Dr. Thomas and her team offer personalized nutritional counseling to ensure that each patient is receiving the right balance of macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals to support their health goals. In some cases, nutritional deficiencies can exacerbate symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings, making it essential to address these issues through targeted supplementation.

“We offer a range of high-quality supplements that are specifically designed to meet the needs of our patients,” Dr. Thomas explains. “These supplements are carefully selected based on each patient’s lab results, ensuring that they are receiving the nutrients they need to support their health and well-being.”

At Vitality, the focus is on providing clean, effective supplements that are free from unnecessary additives and fillers. This commitment to quality ensures that patients receive the full benefit of the supplements they take, helping to optimize their health and support their wellness journey.

Integrating Aesthetic Care into Your Wellness Journey

While internal health is the primary focus at Vitality Medical & Wellness Center, Dr. Thomas recognizes the importance of feeling confident in one’s appearance. As part of their holistic approach to wellness, Vitality offers a range of aesthetic services designed to enhance natural beauty and boost self-esteem.

“As women age, it’s natural to experience changes in the skin, such as loss of volume, the appearance of fine lines, and wrinkles,” says Dr. Thomas. “These changes can affect how we feel about ourselves, which is why we offer aesthetic treatments that complement our wellness services.”

Vitality’s aesthetic offerings include dermal fillers, Botox, and other cosmetic injectables that help restore a youthful appearance. These treatments are administered by skilled professionals who understand the importance of subtlety and natural-looking results. Whether it’s smoothing out fine lines around the eyes or adding volume to the cheeks, Vitality’s aesthetic services are designed to enhance each woman’s natural beauty while maintaining a refreshed, youthful look.
