Hormone Replacement Therapy
Male Hormone Replacement Therapy
Studies have shown, men begin losing testosterone at a rate of 3% to 10% per year beginning at age 30. Current medical research now defines a male equivalent to menopause as andropause. Because the testosterone used is totally natural, it is ideal for men who want the benefits of a bio-identical hormone without the drawbacks of a synthetic. Symptoms of testosterone deficiency in men may include fatigue, lack of mental acuity, loss of libido, and difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection.
Female Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy using the pellet method has changed the manner in which women age. In the past, women died more frequently in childbirth, PMS was an imaginary problem, and menopause, with all of its age-related infirmities, was just another stage of life to be endured and lived with. Today, we know that we don't have to accept hormonal imbalance as a grim reality. Natural hormone replacement therapy has helped improve the quality of our lives. Don’t struggle with the menopausal woes when the remedy is as simple as replacing missing hormones!

The Balance of Nature and Science with Extraordinary Benefits!
Studies have shown, balanced hormones are essential for good health and disease prevention as we age. Hormone replacement therapy optimizes hormone levels with tiny pellets just under the skin.
Hormone pellets release all-natural, bio-identical estrogen and/or testosterone which is metabolized consistently into the body as needed.
Feeling Better Starts with a Simple Blood Test. Patients State:
-Regained energy, muscle strength and a greater ability to lose weight.
-Increased mental clarity and feel younger and happier again.
-Improved quality of life while preventing age-related illness.
COMMON SYMPTOMS of Hormone Imbalance
-Difficulty sleeping at night

-Moody, anxious or depressed
-Weight gain, including increased fat around the midsection
-Inability to lose weight regardless of healthy diet and exercise

What is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Pellet therapy uses hormones derived to replicate the body's normal hormonal levels. Patients have found that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is extremely effective. Implants, placed under the skin, consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones that provide optimal therapy.
Unlike oral and transdermal forms of therapy — which produce "roller coaster" hormone levels, resulting in mood and energy fluctuations for the patient — using bio-identical hormone pellet therapy is the only delivery method of hormone therapy that provides sustained hormone levels throughout the day for up to three to five months without any "roller coaster" effect.
What are Hormone Pellets?
Studies show pellets are one of the most effective ways to deliver hormones in both men and women. To create hormone pellets, a compounding pharmacist fuses estrogen or testosterone into small cylinders.
These pellets, some of which are smaller than a grain of rice, are placed in the fatty tissue beneath the skin and most closely mimic the actions of healthy ovaries and testicles with regard to hormone release into the bloodstream. The hormone pellet implantation is an easily performed office procedure.
Precise Dosing is Key.
Proper hormone levels are determined by your comprehensive bloodwork analysis. Unique dosing is generated for each individual patient, so dosing is customized for what your body needs. Pellets deliver bio-identical hormones directly into the bloodstream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for up to 5 months. Pills, patches, creams and shots cannot provide a steady delivery of hormones 24/7. Pellets provide a constant supply of hormones that your body recognizes, which significantly reduces the chance of adverse side effects.
