Understanding Hormonal Health and a Holistic Approach to Longevity with Stephanie Nunes, N.P.of Thrive Medical Spa

Feeling foggy, fatigued, or fighting stubborn weight gain? These common symptoms might signal hormone imbalances that affect millions of Americans, regardless of age or gender. Nurse Practitioner Stephanie Nunes brings her 20+ years of medical expertise to demystify hormone replacement therapy and modern weight management approaches.

After witnessing patients struggling to enjoy their retirement years due to preventable health issues, Stephanie pursued advanced training in genetics, genomics, and longevity medicine. Her mission became clear: help people not just live longer, but live better. "We do a good job of living up to 100, but can we do it comfortably?" she asks, highlighting the core philosophy behind her practice at Thrive Medical Spa.

Women experiencing perimenopause often face anxiety, palpitations, and unexplained weight gain as hormones fluctuate dramatically. Men typically see testosterone levels drop significantly after age 30, leading to fatigue, muscle loss, and that stubborn "gut" that won't respond to familiar workout routines. The transformations Stephanie witnesses after proper hormone balancing are remarkable – men describe renewed energy and vitality, while women commonly say it feels like "someone has lifted the fog off me."

Beyond clearing misconceptions about hormone therapy safety (those fears largely stem from misinterpreted research), Stephanie explains how modern treatments like pellet therapy work and shares her holistic approach to weight management. The popular GLP-1/GIP medications aren't magic solutions but tools that work best alongside lifestyle changes. "We here at Thrive see obesity as a chronic lifelong condition," she notes, emphasizing the importance of sustainable approaches rather than quick fixes.

For those interested in aging gracefully and maintaining energy through their golden years, Stephanie offers practical advice beyond medications – from avoiding endocrine-disrupting chemicals in everyday products to simple dietary adjustments that support hormone balance.
