Whats the big difference with EvexiPEL pellets?
At EvexiPEL, our mission is to positively impact people's lives through hormone balance and optimization. Our evidence based medical approach to hormone pellet therapy has resulted in successfully treating thousands of patients suffering with hormone imbalances.
The EvexiPEL Method is the result of collaboration between some of the most recognized hormone replacement experts in the United States and FarmaKeio Outsourcing, an FDA certified 503B manufacturing facility based in Southlake, Texas.
This integrative approach to hormone pellet therapy provides superior patient outcomes when compared to other forms of pellet therapy, and patients truly experience the difference.
EvexiPEL Certified Practitioners have been trained by world renowned experts who specialize in hormone restoration and thyroid optimization. These practitioners are courageous individuals with a strong desire to obtain optimal health for themselves and their patients.
EvexiPEL practitioners do more than implant hormone pellets or write prescriptions. To help ensure patients experience optimum results, EvexiPEL recruits and trains only the best of the best medical practitioners who are committed to an integrated and functional approach to healing - getting to the root of patient's health issues - instead of just treating symptoms.
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with pellets is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies. With bioidentical hormones, the structure of the hormone - testosterone, estrogen or both - is matched to the individual patient's needs. Bioidentical hormones are natural, plant-based substances that metabolize in our bodies the way nature intended.
Synthetic hormones are mass-produced and artificially formulated in a lab. Artificial hormones are intentionally manufactured to be slightly different than natural human hormones, so the manufacturer can patent the formulation.
Consequently, synthetic hormones may not provide a good fit or optimum outcome for the human body like bioidentical hormones do.
What are bioidentical hormone pellets, and how do they work?
Composed of either estradiol or testosterone, bioidentical hormone pellets are larger than a grain of rice and smaller than a Tic Tac. EvexiPEL sources its pellets from Farmakeio, a leading compounding pharmacy in the U.S. that presses the hormones into the tiny, solid cylinders.
During the sterile procedure, the practitioner applies a local anesthetic, makes a small incision, then inserts the pellets into fatty tissue under the skin - typically in the flank or upper buttocks. The incision is then closed without any need for stitches.
The pellets release testosterone or estrogen into the bloodstream based on cardiac output, in other words, due to increased physical activity or emotional stress (good or bad). This steady stream of hormones helps keep symptoms such as mood and energy fluctuations at bay.
Subcutaneous (under the skin) pellets have been used to treat hormone imbalance since the 1930s, and research consistently shows bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is the superior method to deliver hormones in both men and women.
Even if the patient doesn't have symptoms, imbalanced hormones may be threatening their health.
It's important to note that many patients with low testosterone or estrogen don't experience the common symptoms related to hormone imbalance. They may believe they don't need bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, since they generally feel well, and their energy levels are up. Unfortunately, this may be a dangerous assumption.
While bioidentical hormone replacement therapy via pellets effectively treats symptoms related to imbalanced testosterone and estrogen levels, research also suggests that hormone optimization may play a key role in preventing diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, certain cancers and others.
Who can benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy via pellets and how?
As we age, testosterone, estrogen and progesterone naturally decline over time. Around age 35, men experience a gradual reduction in testosterone, typically 2 to 10 percent per year. For women, pre-menopause may start as early as in the 30s. In fact, often hormone imbalance kicks in long before hot flashes do-by 10 to 15 years!
Patients need to listen to their bodies. Is the body saying, "I feel a bit off?" In other words, do they feel like many men and women in their 30s, 40s and beyond who ...
* Lack motivation and feel more tired than usual.
* Gain weight for no reason - especially belly fat!
* Wonder why their sexual desire and libido have tapered off.
* Experience mood swings more frequently.
* Feel anxious and depressed.
* Struggle with brain fog and insomnia.
If these symptoms sound familiar, the patient may be an excellent candidate for subcutaneous hormone pellet implants. So, how can your patients find out for sure they can speak with an EvexiPEL certified practitioner who specializes in subcutaneous bioidentical hormone replacemen therapy.
Getting to the root of the problem
Unfortunately, most traditional medical practices don't take the time to find out WHY patients don't feel like themselves anymore. Instead, they keep writing prescriptions for antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, sleeping pills and other drugs that simply mask symptoms.
EvexiPEl practitioners get to the root of the problem to uncover WHY our patients do not feel well. While hormone imbalance often plays a role, BHRT alone isn't always the answer. Depending on the patient, he or she may need an integrated treatment plan that includes pellet therapy, resolving leaky gut issues, detoxification (physical, environmental and mental toxicity), nutrient supplementation and more.
The EvexiPEL Difference:
An integrated approach to care
Thousands of practitioners offer subcutaneous bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in the U.S., but many don't take an integrated approach to care. When an EvexiPEL practitioner identifies the root cause of a patient's health issue, they team up with fellow experts in hormone optimization, functional medicine, nutrition and mental health within the network to build a treatment plan that delivers optimal results.
At EvexiPEL, our practitioners continue to follow the latest medical research to determine how to best treat patients.
Some recent insights guiding EvexiPEL's integrated approach include:
DNA. How we metabolize hormones - some people do so more easily than others - is hardwired in our DNA. If an EvexiPEl practitioner finds a patient has difficulty metabolizing hormones, the treatment plan is modified accordingly.
Toxicity. Physical, environmental and emotional toxins - including toxic relationships and jobs - need to be addressed, because toxicity makes people vulnerable to illness and chronic disease. Treatment may warrant a customized detox program, referral to a mental health specialist and more.
Leaky gut. Poor gut health has direct ties to inflammation, autoimmune disorders, mental health and more. A healthy gut is also essential for the efficient metabolization of hormones Restoring gut health may involve an appropriate detox program, probiotics, nutrients and supplements.
Over the years, EvexiPEL founder Dr. Terri DeNeui, MSN, APRN-BC, DNP, along with the distinguished EVEXIAS medical board, discovered that hormone imbalance is but one factor that contributes to patients' health struggles. Understanding that all our body systems work together and addressing all systems as a whole produces the best outcomes.
