About Vitality Telehealth

Lori Smith runs Vitality Telehealth as a solo practice in Arkadelphia and sees most patients by video. Her hormone work is framed as hormone optimization rather than menopause care, though the site lists reduced hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia among what her bioidentical hormone therapy does for women. She also runs a direct primary care membership that covers preventive visits, chronic disease management and unlimited messaging, so hormone care can sit inside ongoing primary care. Prescribed therapies are shipped to your door, and new patients book a 45 minute telehealth consultation straight from her calendar. Alongside hormones she prescribes weight loss medication and peptide therapy, and she runs a separate aesthetics business out of the same office. She says patients come to her after being told by other providers that they are just getting old.
