Women Need Testosterone Too!
Your hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems that exist in your body. They act as messengers, designed to interact with specific target cells and organs and provoke a change or result. As we age, hormone production changes, and hormonal imbalance can occur. Unbalanced hormones can have a variety of side effects and symptoms.
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment for many common and debilitating symptoms that are often overlooked by doctors. Some of these symptoms include exhaustion, stress, foggy thinking, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and so much more. These ailments are treated by getting to the root cause of these complex conditions. Often, people with symptoms like these are suffering from hormonal imbalance. BHRT is a natural and simple method for correcting these complex issues.

Hormone Pellets
Hormone pellets have been around since the 1940's. Their use fell out of favor when large pharmaceutical companies developed synthetic hormones. Here at Paradigm Innovative Health we only use pure bio-identical hormone pellets. Hormone pellets consist of estradiol (for women) and testosterone for both men and women. The pellets are placed in the fatty area of the hip. Advanced optimization means that the body will have a steady supply of hormone directly to the bloodstream as your body needs it. Another advantage of pellets is the hormone is absorbed exactly as it is. Hormone pills are broken down into other substances in the stomach, creams are converted to other substances during absorption. Pellets are the only form that provides a steady supply of pure bio-identical hormones!

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) begins to work within seven to ten days of your pellet insertion. Once a pellet is inserted, a consistent dose of bio-identical (naturally derived) hormones enter the bloodstream. Every BHRT pellet is custom-compounded to the patient's unique physiology. Tailoring every treatment to the patient helps ensure the greatest possible success in achieving hormonal balance. Furthermore, the pellets are derived from plants, not animals, which closely mimic the hormones naturally present within your body. Studies have shown that bio-identical hormone pellet therapy may offer you the most benefits. Most patients report some symptom resolution in as little as two to four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. Your journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than one to two weeks for your hormones to get out of balance, so expect it to take time to resolve.
Bio-identical hormones are the same hormones that exist in the human body naturally, while synthetic hormones are chemically altered. Natural substances like human hormones cannot be patented, a structural alteration is required to obtain a patent. A patent gives exclusive marketing rights to the drug company to protect profits. Because of our patent laws, only chemically altered substances can be patented. Consequently, bio-identical hormones are not patented.
Our Process
The first step is to make an appointment for a consultation. The consultation can be done in the office or over telemedicine. Telemedicine is done over the computer or mobile device using a HIPPA compliant virtual office where you will meet with the provider in real time from the comfort of your home. The next step is to have a baseline set of labs that includes blood count, chemistry, cholesterol, thyroid function, vitamin D, B12, PSA (in males) and hormone levels. Females must provide a copy of a current mammogram and if you have a uterus a current PAP. The third step is to make an appointment for placement of the pellets. This procedure has minimal discomfort related to the process of numbing the area. The placement of the hormone pellets is painless. The final step is to obtain labs 4-6 weeks after insertion. The additional labs allows the provider to determine the change in hormone levels and guides future treatment.
