Hormonal Optimization for Energy, Focus, and Longevity
Fatigue. Brain fog. Mood swings. Difficulty sleeping. Weight gain. These symptoms may seem like part of a busy life or aging — but they often point to something deeper: hormonal imbalance. At Salus Integrative Medicine in Erie, PA, Dr. Lisa Mainier helps both men and women restore energy, focus, and long-term vitality through safe, personalized hormonal optimization.
Why Hormones Matter for Health and Longevity
Hormones are chemical messengers that influence nearly every system in the body — energy levels, metabolism, sleep, mental clarity, immune function, and more. When hormone levels are too low, too high, or out of sync, they can disrupt your physical and emotional well-being.
Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance in women and men include:
• Low energy or fatigue
• Brain fog or poor concentration
• Decreased libido or sexual function
• Mood changes or anxiety
• Insomnia or disrupted sleep
• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
• Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
• Menstrual irregularities (in women)
• Erectile dysfunction (in men)
Dr. Mainier takes a comprehensive, root-cause approach to addressing these concerns — not just treating symptoms, but restoring optimal function.
How Dr. Mainier Assesses Hormonal Health
At Salus Integrative Medicine, hormonal optimization begins with a thorough evaluation of your health history, lifestyle, and symptoms. Dr. Mainier uses:
• Detailed lab testing of key hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid hormones, and insulin
• Assessment of nutrient levels and gut health, both of which influence hormone balance
• Review of lifestyle factors such as stress, sleep, physical activity, and toxin exposure
This integrative assessment ensures that any hormone therapy or lifestyle intervention is grounded in your unique biology.
Personalized, Evidence-Based Treatment Plans
Hormonal optimization with Dr. Mainier is not one-size-fits-all. Treatment plans are customized based on your lab results, goals, and health status and may include:
• Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using creams, patches, or other safe delivery systems
• Targeted nutritional support including vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that support endocrine health
• Lifestyle changes to optimize sleep, stress resilience, and blood sugar regulation
• Mind-body practices such as mindfulness, breathwork, or yoga, which support hormonal and nervous system balance
Dr. Mainier focuses on safe, low-dose, physiologic hormone support — always guided by evidence and frequent monitoring. Her goal is to help you feel more like yourself again, not to push hormone levels beyond natural ranges.
Hormonal Support for Men and Women
Hormonal changes affect both sexes — though in different ways and at different life stages.
• Women may benefit from hormonal support during perimenopause, menopause, or after childbirth.
• Men may experience andropause, or age-related testosterone decline, leading to fatigue, decreased strength, and mental fog.
Dr. Mainier works with individuals of all genders to improve vitality, protect cognitive health, support metabolism, and promote healthy aging.
Feel Like Yourself Again — with Expert, Integrative Care
Hormonal optimization is about more than numbers on a lab report — it’s about restoring your quality of life, mental clarity, and energy to do the things you love. At Salus Integrative Medicine, Dr. Lisa Mainier offers compassionate, science-based care to help you feel your best—now and in the decades ahead.
