Medical Weight Loss & Hormone Therapy, Led by NPs

Impacting Lives LLC is a medical practice focused on evidence-based medical weight management and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Every treatment plan is overseen by licensed clinicians who follow current obesity and endocrine care guidelines.

Access Patient Portal View Policies & Disclosures

Telemedicine services are available to eligible patients located in states where our clinicians are licensed. This site does not provide medical advice; all care decisions are made in consultation with a licensed clinician.

Focused Programs

  • Medical weight management with GLP‑1 and non‑GLP options when appropriate
  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) plans based on lab data and symptoms
  • Licensed Nurse Practitioner oversight with physician collaboration
  • Ongoing lab and symptom monitoring — not a one‑time prescription

Clinical Programs

Impacting Lives LLC focuses on longitudinal, clinician-supervised medical programs. Each patient receives an individualized care plan based on their medical history, goals, and diagnostic data.

Hormone Optimization & HRT

Our hormone optimization program supports adults who may have symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, low libido, sleep disturbance, or difficulty maintaining muscle mass. Care is tailored based on a thorough clinical assessment and laboratory data.

What patients typically receive

  • Initial intake review and medical history assessment
  • Ordering and review of baseline laboratory blood work (e.g., hormone panels, metabolic markers) as clinically indicated
  • Clinical consultation via telehealth with a licensed Nurse Practitioner (NP-C)
  • Development of a personalized hormone optimization plan, which may include lifestyle recommendations and, when appropriate, prescription therapy
  • Periodic follow-up visits and ongoing symptom and lab monitoring, with therapy adjustments as clinically appropriate
  • Coordination with third-party, licensed pharmacies for medication fulfillment, if prescribed

Hormone therapy is not appropriate for all patients. Medication is only prescribed when clinically indicated after a full evaluation by a licensed clinician and with appropriate monitoring.

Medical Weight Management

Our medical weight management program addresses obesity and metabolic health with a comprehensive, supervised approach—not short-term diets or unsupervised medication use.

What patients typically receive

  • Comprehensive review of weight history, comorbidities, and medications
  • Initial blood work analysis focused on metabolic, endocrine, and cardiovascular risk markers
  • Telehealth consultation with a licensed Nurse Practitioner to review lab results and clinical options
  • Evidence-based treatment plan, which may include nutrition counseling, activity guidance, behavioral support, and, when appropriate, FDA-approved weight management medications
  • Ongoing monitoring of response to therapy, side effects, and safety parameters
  • Regular follow-up appointments and secure messaging via the patient portal for eligible concerns

Not all patients will qualify for medication-based weight management. All prescriptions, including GLP-1 and related agents, are issued only when medically appropriate and in compliance with applicable laws and guidelines.

How Our Medical Program Works

We combine telehealth visits, lab testing, and ongoing follow-up so patients are not left managing new medications alone.

1. Clinical Intake & Labs

We review your medical history, medications, and goals, then order baseline blood work to evaluate metabolic and hormonal markers, as clinically appropriate.

2. Telehealth Consultation

You meet by secure video with Melissa Vinson, NP‑C (or another licensed NP on our team) to review your labs, discuss options, and determine whether weight loss medications, HRT, or lifestyle changes are right for you.

3. Personalized Treatment Plan

If you are a candidate, we develop a plan that may include GLP‑1 or other weight medications, hormone therapy, nutrition and activity guidance, and monitoring intervals.

4. Ongoing Monitoring

We schedule follow-ups, adjust doses when needed, and repeat key labs to monitor safety and effectiveness over time.
