More Than Medical Wellness is a functional medicine and anti-aging wellness center in Las Vegas, NV that goes far beyond routine sick visits. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, our team investigates root causes — hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, chronic inflammation, and lifestyle factors — to create personalized care plans focused on long-term vitality. Our patients experience a deeper level of attention, time, and clinical curiosity than most conventional practices offer.

What is functional medicine and how does it work?

Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that investigates the underlying biological, hormonal, nutritional, and lifestyle factors driving your symptoms — rather than simply prescribing medication to suppress them. At More Than Medical Wellness, our functional medicine services use advanced diagnostics, comprehensive health history review, and personalized protocols to address root causes and support lasting healing rather than ongoing symptom management.

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and who is it for?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body produces naturally. BHRT is used to restore hormonal balance in both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal decline — including fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, brain fog, low libido, poor sleep, and hot flashes. It is a highly individualized treatment tailored to your specific hormone levels and clinical picture.

What is peptide therapy and what can it treat?

Peptide therapy uses specific amino acid sequences to signal and regulate functions throughout the body — including hormone production, cellular repair, immune response, and metabolism. At More Than Medical Wellness, peptide protocols are used to support conditions such as hormonal imbalance, insomnia, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, sexual dysfunction, cognitive decline, osteoporosis, obesity, and musculoskeletal injuries. Because peptides naturally occur in the body, therapy is generally very well tolerated.

What types of IV hydration therapies are available?

Our IV hydration therapies deliver customized blends of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream for fast, complete absorption. IV formulations at More Than Medical Wellness can be tailored to support immune function, energy and recovery, anti-aging, detoxification, athletic performance, hydration, and targeted nutritional replenishment. Your provider will recommend the appropriate IV protocol based on your health history and goals.

How does medical weight loss at More Than Medical Wellness work?

Our medical weight loss program addresses the hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors that drive stubborn weight gain — factors that fad diets and commercial programs completely ignore. We combine personalized nutrition planning, metabolic assessment, hormone optimization, optional medical support, and regular monitoring to help patients achieve and maintain sustainable fat loss. Every plan is individualized and built around your real biology and life circumstances.

What is regenerative medicine and which joints can be treated?

Regenerative medicine at More Than Medical Wellness uses advanced therapies — including allograft treatment and ultrasound-guided injections — to reduce joint inflammation, promote tissue repair, and restore function without surgery. We treat a full range of joints including the knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, elbow, and ankle.

What is Emsculpt NEO and what can it do?

Emsculpt NEO combines high-intensity electromagnetic muscle stimulation with radiofrequency energy to simultaneously build muscle and reduce fat — without surgery, needles, or downtime. At More Than Medical Wellness, it is used not just for body contouring but as a clinical tool for functional strength, joint stability, core reconditioning, and muscle rehabilitation. Treatment sessions are approximately 30 minutes and most protocols involve 4–12 sessions.

What is infrared sauna and chromotherapy, and what are the benefits?

Infrared sauna with chromotherapy at More Than Medical Wellness uses Sunlighten® technology to deliver deep, penetrating heat that promotes detoxification, cardiovascular health, muscle recovery, anti-aging, weight management support, immune stimulation, and stress relief. Chromotherapy adds targeted light wavelengths during the session to support emotional and physical balance. There is no discomfort, no downtime, and sessions are typically 20–45 minutes.

What is the Alma TED non-invasive hair restoration treatment?

Alma TED is an ultrasound-based hair restoration system that uses acoustic sound waves to improve scalp circulation and drive a specialized topical formula deep into hair follicles — stimulating growth and improving hair density without needles, surgery, or downtime. Best results are typically achieved with three treatments spaced one month apart. Many patients notice improvements within two weeks of their first session.

Absolutely.

How does personalized nutrition counseling work at More Than Medical Wellness?

At More Than Medical Wellness, our personalized nutrition services are grounded in the foundational belief that food is medicine.
