Hormones

Depending on which bio-identical hormone therapy you utilize, you can expect many different positive benefits. Women who use these treatments find that they help reduce the recurrence of hot flashes, support memory, increases sex drive, aid in better sleep and fights mood swings. Men use bio-identical hormone therapy to improve their sexual performance, feel more motivated, build muscle mass and control weight. However, each individualized hormone therapy has additional benefits as well. For a thorough review of these benefits, schedule a consultation with our experts.

Synergy Wellness offers hormone pellets as part of our therapy services. These pellets are created using all-natural ingredients and include the bio-identical hormones your body can no longer produce. They’re no bigger than a grain of rice and are inserted just under the skin to release a stable dose of hormones over several months.

Unlike creams, pills, patches or injections, hormone pellet implants work naturally with your body. Once the pellet is inserted, patients can experience the benefits of bio-identical hormone therapy for up to six months. Plus, because the pellet is implanted under the skin, the body can control the release of hormones. Other treatments require consistent monitoring, and they can even have a roller coaster effect if given in improper dosages. However, hormone pellet treatments tend to be safer, more effective and work in partnership with your body.

Bio-identical hormone pellets can be implanted in a relatively painless procedure performed at our office in a matter of minutes. Before insertion, we clean and numb the skin using a local anesthetic. Generally, the pellets are inserted in the lower abdomen, hip area or buttocks. A small incision is made, and the pellets are implanted just under the skin. Most often, no stitches are required once the procedure is complete. The wound will be dressed using surgical gauze and a piece of tape.
After the procedure, you may experience slight discomfort or bruising at the insertion site. Other than that, however, side effects associated with bio-identical hormone therapy using pellets are very mild and easily managed.
How long the pellets’ effects last depends on your body’s individual needs. Absorption rates vary from person to person. Most people find that the results of pellet hormone therapy can last as long as six months.

Synergy Wellness offers several hormone services for anti-aging and well-being, including Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), Estrogen, Melatonin, Progesterone, Testosterone Therapy for Men, Testosterone Therapy for Women, and Thyroid hormone treatments.

DHEA is a hormone precursor that can reduce the risk of age-related diseases like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Estrogen replacement therapy aims to restore hormone levels in women, potentially reducing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, osteoporosis, decreased sex drive, and mood changes.

Testosterone is crucial for both men and women, with optimal levels increasing muscle strength, lean body mass, bone health, energy, and sex drive, while decreasing blood pressure and improving cognitive functions. It also offers protection against cardiovascular disease.
