Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about hormone optimization, peptide therapy, weight loss treatment, and telehealth lab testing at Vitalized Lab.
What does Vitalized Lab treat through telehealth?
Vitalized Lab provides telehealth hormone therapy, medical weight loss (including semaglutide and tirzepatide), peptide therapy, menopause and perimenopause care, testosterone optimization, functional medicine, advanced lab testing, sexual health, gut and metabolic health, and telehealth sick visits. All services are delivered online through secure video consultations.
How does hormone lab testing work through telehealth?
After your initial consultation, Crystal Rico, MSN, FNP-BC will order comprehensive hormone labs through a national lab network. You’ll visit a local draw site (or use an at-home kit where available), and we’ll review your results together during a follow-up telehealth visit. Labs typically include sex hormones, thyroid panel, metabolic markers, and more.
Is semaglutide or tirzepatide available through Vitalized Lab?
Yes. Vitalized Lab prescribes GLP-1 receptor agonist medications including semaglutide and tirzepatide for qualified patients seeking medically supervised weight loss. A comprehensive medical evaluation and lab testing are required before prescribing. These peptides are compounded and shipped directly to you.
What is the difference between hormone therapy and peptide therapy?
Hormone therapy involves replacing or optimizing actual hormones — such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or thyroid — that your body produces. Peptide therapy uses short amino acid chains (peptides) to stimulate or support specific biological processes, such as weight loss, tissue repair, immune function, or growth hormone release. Both can be used together as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Can I get testosterone therapy for women through Vitalized Lab?
Yes. Low testosterone in women is frequently undertreated and contributes to fatigue, low libido, muscle loss, brain fog, and mood changes. Crystal Rico, FNP-BC evaluates testosterone levels as part of comprehensive women’s hormone panels and prescribes testosterone therapy for women when clinically indicated.
