At Vitality Medical & Wellness Center in Las Vegas, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country. This Veteran’s Day, we extend our deepest gratitude by focusing on the unique health challenges many veterans face, such as chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and disrupted sleep patterns resulting from years of dedicated service.
The Hidden Battles Veterans Face
Military service often demands rigorous physical activity, high stress, irregular sleep schedules, and exposure to challenging environments. These factors can contribute to:
- Chronic Fatigue and Adrenal Stress: Prolonged stress can overwork the adrenal glands, leading to fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and a weakened immune system.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in essential hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone can affect energy levels, mood, and overall health.
- Shift Work Disorder: Irregular work hours disrupt the body’s natural circadian rhythms, causing sleep disturbances and other health issues.
Our Specialized Programs for Veterans
We offer targeted programs designed to address these specific health concerns:
Adrenal Fatigue Testing
The adrenal glands play a crucial role in your body’s ability to function correctly by secreting essential hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone. Overworked adrenal glands can lead to a range of health conditions—from minor allergies to chronic fatigue and immune system weakness. Our Adrenal Fatigue Testing helps determine if your symptoms are related to adrenal fatigue, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan to restore optimal adrenal function.
Benefits:
- Identifies hormonal imbalances affecting energy and immune health.
- Guides effective treatment strategies to combat fatigue.
- Supports overall wellness and vitality.
Saliva Testing
Accurate hormone measurement is critical to diagnosing biochemical imbalances and monitoring treatment progress. Our Saliva testing measures the levels of steroid hormones—including stress hormones like cortisol—through noninvasive saliva samples. This method captures your cells’ hormones, providing precise data to tailor your treatment plan.
Hormones Tested:
- Estrogen: Helps treat menopausal symptoms and hormonal imbalances.
- Progesterone: Enhances hormone balance, especially post-menopause.
- Testosterone: Promotes stamina, mental focus, and muscle strength.
- Cortisol: Necessary for energy production and stress response.
- DHEA: Essential for energy and disease prevention.
Benefits:
- Noninvasive and convenient for at-home collection.
- Cost-effective with samples usable for up to two weeks.
- Ensures precise treatment through accurate hormone level assessment.
Shift Work Disorder Treatment
Many veterans continue to work in roles that require irregular hours, further disrupting their natural sleep patterns. Shift Work Disorder occurs when the body’s circadian rhythms are thrown off balance due to a lack of environmental time cues like sunrise and sunset.
Symptoms and Risks:
- Inflammation and cardiovascular issues.
- Cortisol imbalances and adrenal problems.
- Difficulty sleeping and maintaining alertness.
Our Approach:
- Utilize saliva testing to assess hormone levels.
- Create a customized supplement and treatment program.
- Provide strategies to realign circadian rhythms and improve sleep quality.
