Pellets are tiny subcutaneous implants that release hormones slowly over time, offering a convenient, long-term solution. Pellets offer consistent hormone levels but require a minor minimally invasive procedure for insertion.
Patients report improvements from these symptoms:Â
- Increased energy
- Improved mood
- Better sleep
- Weight management
- Enhanced libido
- Mental clarity
Estrogen Cream
Compounded bioidentical estrogen cream refers to a medication that is custom-made by a compounding pharmacy to contain bioidentical forms of estrogen. Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body, specifically in this case, estrogen.
Estrogen is a hormone that plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, especially in the development and maintenance of female secondary sexual characteristics and the regulation of the menstrual cycle. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources, such as soy or yams, and are designed to closely mimic the chemical structure of hormones produced in the human body.
Compounded medications are created based on a specific prescription for an individual patient, allowing healthcare providers to tailor the dosage and formulation to meet the patient's unique needs. In the case of compounded bioidentical estrogen cream, a compounding pharmacist would mix the appropriate amount of bioidentical estrogen into a cream or gel form for the patient to apply topically.

Testosterone Cream
Testosterone therapy, vital for both men and women, addresses various health issues stemming from hormonal imbalances. It influences energy levels, muscle mass, bone density, and libido in women. Therapy is beneficial for those with low testosterone due to aging, surgical menopause, or medical conditions, alleviating symptoms like fatigue, decreased libido, and muscle loss. Additionally, it shows promise in treating conditions like low libido, enhancing overall well-being. Testosterone cream therapy, a convenient method, delivers supplemental testosterone directly through the skin, avoiding digestive and liver metabolism. It's prescribed for both genders to combat symptoms of testosterone deficiency, offering a steady hormone release. However, adherence to healthcare provider instructions, including proper dosage and application, is essential to ensure effectiveness and minimize side effects, with regular monitoring for adjustments.

Estrogen Patch
Estrogen patches are a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed to deliver estrogen through the skin into the bloodstream. Estrogen patches can also be made from bioidentical estrogen. These patches are commonly used to alleviate symptoms of estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women or in individuals who have undergone surgical removal of the ovaries. Estrogen patches provide a controlled and continuous release of estrogen through the skin. The patches are usually worn on a clean and dry area of the skin, and they are designed to be replaced at regular intervals, such as twice a week.

A new focus, a new path forward
“I was absolutely fascinated,” Engels says, “by this new style of medicine that saw the patient as a whole biological system rather focusing on only one organ system at a time, such as Cardiology. This was a complete paradigm shift from conventional medicine and how I was trained.”
