Your Hormones, Metabolism & Longevity — Finally on the Same Team
— A DermUtopia™ practice
Vivaz Wellness is the metabolic and hormone-health side of DermUtopia — built for the whole-body changes your skin has already been trying to tell you about.
The Problem
You've probably already had the conversation. Your labs come back "normal." You've tried the diets, the supplements, maybe even a GLP-1 prescription from someone who wasn't really watching. Somewhere between your primary care doctor, your OB/GYN, and your dermatologist, nobody had time to connect the dots between your skin, your hormones, your weight, and how exhausted you feel.
You know your body isn't broken. You just haven't found anyone willing to look at the whole picture — the sleep, the cravings, the cycle changes, the "is this just aging?" moments — instead of treating each symptom like it showed up alone.
— Our story
Meet Vivaz
Vivaz Wellness grew out of DermUtopia, the dermatology practice built by Dr. Brenda Dintiman and Dr. Christine Shanahan back when telemedicine wasn't yet a household word. Somewhere along the way, patients kept showing up with a related but different question: my skin's improving — but what about the rest of me? My weight, my hormones, my energy? Vivaz is our answer. Same team, same standards, a wider lens.

How It Works
A Real First Conversation
full history, real labs, real listening. Virtual with Dr. Liz Allan, or in person with Dr. Christine Shanahan — whichever fits your life.
A Plan Built With You
not a supplement stack or a generic protocol. One clear, personalized next step based on your labs, your goals, and your actual schedule.
Ongoing, Not One-and-Done
regular check-ins and a team that's still paying attention next month, not just at your first visit.

What We Offer
Metabolic Health & Weight Loss
medically monitored GLP-1 support and metabolic care that goes beyond the prescription.
Hormone Health & Menopause Care
perimenopause, menopause, and hormone support guided by your labs and your experience, not a one-size protocol.
Longevity & Lifestyle Medicine
sleep, gut health, and the daily habits that actually move the needle, built around a life you don't have to overhaul overnight.
Why Vivaz
Most practices treat your skin, your hormones, and your metabolism as three separate appointments with three separate providers who never talk to each other. We built Vivaz because we watched that gap firsthand — patients getting great dermatology care, then getting stuck figuring out the rest on their own. Vivaz closes that gap: the same rigor and warmth DermUtopia patients already trust, extended to the hormone and metabolic side of your health.
— The outcome
What It Looks Like When This Is Working
A few months in, you're not spending your evenings Googling symptoms. You have real answers about what's actually happening with your hormones and your metabolism — and a plan you're actually following, not fighting. Your energy is more consistent. If weight is part of your goal, the number is finally moving in a direction that makes sense. And your skin? It's already benefiting from a body that's finally working with you instead of against you.
Let's Look at the Whole Picture.
One conversation. Your labs, your history, your goals — actually connected for once.
