Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Tampa

Hormone replacement therapy at VIVIFY helps men and women in Tampa address the fatigue, weight gain, low libido, and mood changes that often come with declining hormones. Michelle Buchanan, NP, APRN-C, leads this service using the EvexiPEL Method of pellet therapy.

Hormone Replacement Therapy at VIVIFY

As hormones decline with age, the effects can reach nearly every part of daily life, from energy and sleep to metabolism and intimacy. HRT restores those hormones to healthy levels. At VIVIFY, hormone therapy is part of a whole-body approach to wellness led by Michelle Buchanan, our board-certified nurse practitioner.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy replaces hormones your body no longer produces in adequate amounts, most often estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. At VIVIFY, Michelle uses bioidentical hormones, which are plant-derived and structurally identical to the hormones your body makes. This helps restore balance in a way that feels natural.

Signs You May Have a Hormone Imbalance

Hormone imbalance affects both men and women, and the symptoms often build gradually. Common signs Michelle sees in patients include:

Ongoing fatigue and low energy
Weight gain or trouble losing weight
Low libido or reduced drive
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
Poor sleep or insomnia

If several of these sound familiar, hormone testing can reveal whether an imbalance is the cause

HRT for Women

Women often begin to notice symptoms during perimenopause and menopause, when estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone decline. HRT can ease hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, and mood changes, helping women feel like themselves again.

HRT for Men

In men, testosterone can start to drop as early as the thirties, a shift known as andropause. HRT can help restore the energy, muscle tone, focus, and sex drive that decline alongside falling testosterone.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

When hormones return to healthy levels, patients often notice improvements across the body. The benefits of HRT can include:

More consistent energy throughout the day
Easier weight management and better muscle tone
Improved mood and mental clarity
A renewed sex drive
Deeper, more restful sleep

Results vary from person to person, which is why Michelle closely monitors your progress with follow-up labs and adjusts your treatment plan as needed to ensure your care remains personalized to your individual needs.

The EvexiPEL Method

VIVIFY uses the EvexiPEL Method, a proprietary approach to hormone optimization built around bioidentical hormone pellets. Each pellet is placed just under the skin during a quick in-office procedure and releases a steady, consistent dose of hormones, avoiding the peaks and dips common with pills or creams. The method combines three elements:

Patented, plant-derived hormone pellets for steady release
A precision dosing algorithm that reviews more than 25 data points from your labs
A specialized, comfortable insertion technique for reliable placement

Other forms of HRT we offer include topical, patches, creams, gels, oral medications or injections. Michelle tailors every dose to your labs, symptoms, and goals.

How Long Until You Notice Results?

Many patients begin to feel a difference within a few weeks of their first pellet insertion, though full results build over the following months as hormone levels stabilize. Michelle adjusts your plan as needed to keep you feeling your best.

Nutraceutical Support

Hormones work best when the rest of the body is supported. That is why Michelle often pairs HRT with EvexiPEL nutraceuticals, targeted supplements that address areas like energy, sleep, stress, metabolism, and thyroid function. These pharmaceutical-grade products complement your hormone plan and support results from the inside out.
