Hormone Optimization
At Mountain Glow we specialize in hormone optimization, offering a variety of options including pellets, injectables, and rapid dissolving tablets. Our goal is to find the administration method that best fits your lifestyle while effectively managing your symptoms. During your consultation, you'll undergo a comprehensive lab draw analyzed by Heather Tribble, NP, who will work with you to create a personalized plan for optimizing your hormones and enhancing overall health.
Hormone optimization involves the use of hormones to treat various conditions related to hormonal imbalances. At Mountain Glow we partner with Evexias Medical to provide bio-identical hormone pellets.
Bio-identical hormone pellets, are about the size of a grain of rice, are inserted under the skin, typically in the upper buttocks or lower abdomen, and release hormones into the bloodstream over several months.
What are EvexiPEL pellets?
Bioidentical Hormones:
The pellets contain bio-identical hormones, which are derived from plant sources and are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body.
Sustained Release:
Unlike other HRT methods, pellet therapy provides a steady, slow release of hormones, mimicking the body's natural hormone production.
Convenience:
Patients typically require pellet insertions only 2-4 times per year, making it a convenient option compared to daily medication or frequent injections.
Benefits of EvexiPEL pellet therapy:
Improved Hormone Balance:
Pellet therapy aims to restore and maintain optimal hormone levels, addressing symptoms associated with hormone imbalances.
Reduced Symptoms:
Patients may experience relief from symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and decreased libido.
Convenience and Consistency:
The sustained release of hormones from pellets can lead to a more consistent hormone level compared to other HRT methods.
Bioidentical Hormones: Synthetic hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body.
