Question 1

What is bioidentical hormone therapy?

Accepted Answer

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. At Manus Solis, our physician prescribes individually compounded BHRT formulations prepared by Trutina, our Ontario compounding pharmacy partner to pharmaceutical-grade standards. Each protocol is titrated based on comprehensive bloodwork and monitored through our Vis Viva scoring system.

Consultations are physician-led, confidential, and conducted on your schedule. Bloodwork requisitions and prescriptions can be managed remotely, with compounds shipped directly from Trutina, our Ontario compounding pharmacy partner.

Accepted Answer

The Vis Viva Score is a proprietary vitality metric developed by Manus Solis that quantifies your biological health across three measurement domains: Sensus (the felt experience, including symptom scores, mood, sleep quality, energy, cognitive clarity), Pulsus (the biological signal, including HbA1c, insulin sensitivity, lipids, inflammatory markers), and Virtus (the body in motion, including VO2 max, grip strength, body composition, wearable data). Every intervention is measured across all three domains and tracked longitudinally.
