Meet Jenna, Our Nurse Practitioner
At Renewed Vitality, we strive to provide the highest-quality hormone replacement therapy (HRT) options and other treatments from the most-qualified and passionate professionals in the Berks County area. That’s why we are proud to introduce Jenna Lee, our new Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner!
As a facility with a growing number of patients and staff members, we think it’s important to understand and appreciate every person’s role toward helping men and women lead their healthiest lives. To get a better understanding of a nurse practitioner’s role and a few details about Jenna’s background, let’s take a closer look at what these necessary professionals offer to improve every person’s life who walks through our doors.
What is a Nurse Practitioner?
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are sought after in just about every area of healthcare, including at our treatment center. NPs are also necessary educators at the university level, sometimes called nurse educators, and can also be directly involved in policy work.
Usually, an NP will earn a Master of Science in Nursing with a specific population focus, such as family medicine or gerontology. They are also required to pass a national certification exam before applying for state licensure. Essentially, wherever healthcare decisions are required, nurse practitioners provide important insight and expertise.
Meeting Jenna Lee
Our own Jenna Lee graduated from Bloomsburg University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She went on to further her education too, graduating from The Pennsylvania State University with a Master of Science in Nursing. Her career in the medical field began in 2010 as a registered nurse, and she has been working as a nurse practitioner since 2015. She offers a variety of applicable expertise in the medical field, including family practice, transplant surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and long term care.
While her degree is in family medicine, Jenna always had an interest in women’s health in particular. After learning more about the team at Renewed Vitality and the care they provide, she knew this was a great opportunity and felt it was a perfect fit (and we agree!). Her favorite thing about working at Renewed Vitality is being an important member of a truly amazing team. Jenna considers it a blessing to be part of a company that feels like family. She also loves having the ability to truly help our patients change their lives for the better.
In terms of how Renewed Vitality impacts the lives of our patients, Jenna thinks our holistic approach is one of the key facets to ensuring quality care. Due to the sheer number of patients who tell us how drastically their lives have changed since initiating care with us, it’s no wonder she feels right at home. She considers it one of the most rewarding experiences when you’re told that you’ve helped someone to feel like themselves again.
More personally, Jenna shared that her husband, Jamieson, and she are the proud parents of 2 children: Grace and Caleb. When hard at work, Jenna loves being outdoors – hiking, kayaking, biking, and swimming are some of her favorite activities. She also enjoys cooking, baking, reading a good book, watching Phillies baseball games, taking road trips, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
Please welcome Jenna Lee to our wonderful team!

With the new year comes new opportunities for growth and self-improvement, and this can even extend to improving the quality of your sex life. Whether you are in a relationship or single, there are many things you can do to enhance your sexual experiences and bring more excitement and pleasure into the bedroom.
A fulfilling sex life can improve overall intimacy and emotional connection with a partner, boost self-esteem and confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase feelings of happiness and satisfaction in a relationship. Additionally, a healthy and active sex life can also bolster mental and physical health by reducing the risk of heart disease, improving sleep, and increasing longevity. Let’s explore some tips and techniques for improving your sex life in 2023!
Effectively Communicate With Your Partner
One of the most important steps toward a more satisfying and healthier sex life is improving how you communicate with your partner. Good communication is key to any successful relationship, and this is especially true when it comes to sex. Open and honest communication can help you understand each other’s desires, preferences, and boundaries, which will ultimately lead to better and more satisfying sexual experiences.
When communicating with your partner about sexual desires and preferences, try to approach conversations in a non-judgmental and respectful manner. Be sure to listen actively and be open to feedback, and remember that it is okay to have different opinions and preferences when it comes to sex. With the trust it takes to communicate and respect one another’s sexual dispositions and goals, it makes it easier to find areas where desires and preferences overlap.
Experiment & Try Out New Things
One of the ways to bring excitement and novelty into your sex life is to experiment with new sensations, experiences, and mindsets. This can include trying new positions, incorporating sex toys, or exploring different types of foreplay and afterplay. When experimenting with new things, it is important to approach the experience with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow. Be sure to communicate with your partner about what you are comfortable with, and remember that experimentation is not just about pleasing others, but also about finding what works best for you.
Focus on Foreplay
Foreplay is an often overlooked aspect of sexual encounters, but it is an important part of building sexual tension and enhancing pleasure. Foreplay can take many forms, including kissing, touching, and massaging, and it can be a great way to slow down and savor the sexual experience. When incorporating foreplay into your sexual experiences, prioritize listening to your partner’s cues and pay attention to their body language. Keep in mind that foreplay is not just about physical stimulation, but also about emotional and mental connection.
Practice Self-Care and Self-Exploration
Self-care and self-exploration are essential components of a healthy and fulfilling sex life. This can involve taking care of your physical and mental health, exploring your own desires and preferences, and learning how to pleasure yourself. You could experiment with different types of physical and emotional stimulation privately or with a partner – in general, don’t be afraid to try new things or explore your own body and preferences. When practicing self-care and self-exploration, be sure to prioritize your own needs and desires, and take the time to understand what turns you on and what doesn’t.
Prioritize Getting Enough Sleep
Another lifestyle area that affects one’s libido is getting enough sleep. The release of hormones related to sexual function is regulated by the body’s circadian rhythm, and sleep patterns play a huge role in determining when these hormones are produced. Insufficient sleep can significantly reduce one’s libido. When individuals feel exhausted before even getting into bed, it can diminish any sexual drive they may have had prior. In addition, sufficient sleep can increase testosterone levels in men, and considering that low testosterone levels are often linked to sexual dysfunction, this further emphasizes the importance of being well-rested to engage in healthy and fun sexual activities.
Taking the time to improve your sex life will help you to better understand yourself and your partner by incorporating new techniques and practices that bring excitement and pleasure into the bedroom. Whether you are in a relationship or single, the above tips and techniques can help you enhance your sexual experiences and bring more joy and fulfillment into your life.
Additionally, at Renewed Vitality, we offer bioidentical hormone treatments that can help improve your sexual health. If you are looking to restore your energy levels and revitalize your sex life, supplementing with testosterone or estrogen may be the solution you need.
