Andropause
Men experience a loss in mainly testosterone as they get older. As you can see from the chart above, hormone levels begin to decline in the late 30s and early 40s. Andropause is the male menopause.
These serious symptoms affect everyday life and those you love. Balancing your hormone levels brings relief. Only weeks after treatment, you begin to enjoy your life with more energy, strength, stamina and passion.
The testicles produce testosterone. However, the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, controls the production. Testosterone is delivered from the testicles into the blood stream in order to do its work. Not enough testosterone and symptoms can appear.
Testosterone levels change during the day and are normally highest in the morning and lowest in the evening.
Our medically supervised program for men attacks the root cause, which is declining testosterone. Our expert medical providers tailor a regiment designed specifically for you. This is required in order to get your hormone levels back in balance, a natural treatment for andropause.
Many chronic health problems are the result of your hormones being out of balance. This can increase the risk of disease. Without the optimum hormone levels, your body is misinformed and can’t do it’s job.
Men who’s occupation is physically demanding need their strength and stamina. We help Firemen, Police Officers, Construction workers and many more enjoy their work again. Your life no longer has to be lived in exhaustion.
Erectile dysfunction can be a symptom of low testosterone and perhaps doesn’t perform as you did when you were younger. We help men balance their hormones naturally so that they can regain their health and confidence in and outside the bedroom.
Your recovery begins with a simple blood test in order to thoroughly evaluate and diagnose your bodies hormone needs.
Menopause
A woman begins life with a finite amount of fertile eggs contained in her ovaries, about 1 to 3 million. As a woman ages and menopause symptoms first occur her eggs have been depleted to fewer than 10,000. Her ovaries also produce the hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. These hormones control menstruation, ovulation and sex drive.
Menopause occurs when her ovaries stop releasing eggs. This is caused by a woman’s ovaries producing less of the hormone estrogen. A reproductive hormone, FSH is responsible for the growth of her eggs. As menopause begins, her eggs that remain become resistant to FSH which causes less production of the hormone estrogen by her ovaries.
The female hormone estrogen controls many functions of her body. Her heart, bones, breasts, uterus, blood vessels, skin and brain are all affected. The ovaries also produce less testosterone, the hormone affecting her sex drive. See above.
As a woman ages, common symptoms of a hormone imbalance are weight gain, night sweats, trouble sleeping, hot flashes and less interest in sex.
The root cause of many health problems in women are hormone imbalances and can increase the risk of disease. When hormones like testosterone begin to diminish, symptoms begin to appear.
After treatment, these symptoms can disappear and protect against osteoporosis and heart disease. Our women begin to feel younger than they have in years following our natural treatment. Women have told us their kids like them again and they don’t cry at everything.

BHRT PELLET IMPLANTS
Hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is the most effective and the most bio-identical method to deliver hormones in both men and women. Implants, placed under the skin, continually release small doses of hormones providing optimal therapy.
Pellets deliver consistent, healthy levels of hormones for 3-5 months in women and 4-6 months in men. They avoid the ups and downs of hormone levels seen with every other method of delivery. Even patients who have failed other types of hormone therapy have a very high success rate with pellets. There is no other method of hormone delivery that is as convenient for the patient as the implants.
Testosterone delivered by a pellet implant, has been used to treat migraine and menstrual headaches. It also helps with vaginal dryness, incontinence urinary urgency and frequency. In both men and women, testosterone has been shown to increase energy, relieve depression, increase sense of well being, relieve anxiety and improve memory and concentration. It also increases lean body mass and decreases fat mass.
After pellets are inserted, patients may notice that they have more energy, sleep better and feel happier. Patients may notice increased strength, coordination and physical performance. They may see an improvement in skin tone and hair texture.
The insertion of pellets is a simple, relatively painless procedure done under local anesthesia. The pellets are inserted in the upper buttocks through a small incision. The experience of the medical provider matters a great deal, not only in placing the pellets, but also in determining the correct dosage of hormones to be used.
Most patients begin to feel better within 48-72 hours while others may take a week or two to notice a difference. Diet and lifestyle, along with hormone balance are critical for optimal health.
