Let’s be honest—life in Las Vegas can be fast-paced, overwhelming, and downright exhausting at times. Whether you’re juggling responsibilities in Summerlin, keeping up with a busy lifestyle in Northwest Las Vegas, or balancing it all in North Las Vegas, it’s no wonder so many of my patients walk into my clinic saying:
“I’m tired all the time, I can’t sleep, and I feel like I’m constantly in survival mode.”
If this sounds familiar, there’s a strong chance your cortisol levels are out of balance. And here’s the good news—you don’t have to live like this.
What Is Cortisol, and Why Should You Care?
Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone, produced by your adrenal glands. Think of it as your built-in alarm system. In the right amounts, it helps you wake up, stay focused, and handle daily stress.
But when cortisol stays high for too long—or dips too low after chronic stress—it can start affecting everything from your energy to your mood to your metabolism.
Symptoms of cortisol imbalance can include:
- Fatigue (especially in the morning)
- Brain fog
- Weight gain (especially around the belly)
- Trouble sleeping
- Anxiety or feeling “wired but tired”
- Sugar or salt cravings
- Low motivation or burnout
Sound familiar?
Why This Matters in Summerlin, Northwest, and North Las Vegas
In our fast-growing neighborhoods like Summerlin and Northwest Las Vegas, we’re seeing more and more patients dealing with chronic stress—especially women balancing careers, parenting, aging parents, and personal health goals.
When cortisol is out of sync, it doesn’t just drain your energy—it can throw off your thyroid, gut, hormones, and immune system too.
That’s why we offer comprehensive cortisol testing right here at Vitality Medical and Wellness Center.
How We Test Your Cortisol
We use saliva and/or dried urine testing to track your cortisol patterns throughout the day—not just a one-time lab draw. This gives us a full picture of how your body is handling stress over 24 hours.
I call it “checking the rhythm of your body’s stress response.” Once we understand that rhythm, we can restore balance—gently and naturally.
What Happens Next?
Once we review your results, I’ll create a personalized treatment plan that may include:
✅ Adaptogenic herbs or supplements
✅ Simple lifestyle tweaks (like better sleep habits or cutting back on screen time)
✅ Nutrition support
✅ Hormone balancing, if needed
✅ IV therapies or B12 shots to help recharge your system
Because here’s what I believe: You deserve to feel like yourself again.
