Hormones Overview

Your hormones act as your body’s messengers, traveling through the bloodstream to different parts of the body and triggering specific reactions in cells.

If even one hormone misfires, your body can spiral out of control leaving you with a lack of vitality and a decreased quality of life. 

Menopause

When a woman enters menopause, her body produces fewer hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal imbalance can lead to the emotional and physical symptoms often associated with menopause such as mood swings, hot flashes - and in some cases - depression.

Andropause

As a man ages and his hormone levels decrease, he may experience Andropause. A decrease in Testosterone can lead to a number of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms including fatigue, depression, and a decrease in libido.

Sexual Dysfunction

For both men and women, when the body’s hormones are imbalanced, sexual dysfunction may occur. Symptoms may include low libido, and difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection or orgasm. Additionally, hormone imbalances can affect psychological factors, including anxiety and depression, which can further impact sexual desire and performance.

Synthetic vs. Bio-Identical

See how bio-identical hormones are a superior method.

Synthetic hormone management uses imitation hormones to supplement or replace the hormones that are naturally produced by the body.

They are typically administered by oral tablets or a cream that is applied to the skin. Synthetic hormones are criticized by the medical community due to their negative side effects and the fact that they only work as a partial fix for symptoms of hormone deficiency.. While synthetic hormones have been approved by the FDA, we at Exceed do not recommend them as the overall best solution to hormone replacement.

Bio-identical hormones are chemically and molecularly identical to hormones that are naturally produced by the human body, and administered in a pellet form.

Evidence-Based

Bio-identical hormone replacement has been extensively studied and used for over 70 years. It is a personalized treatment plan that allows both physician and patient to work together and curate a solution tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Bio-identical hormones are made from plant sources such as soy and yams, and are used to supplement or replace hormones that the body is not producing enough of. They are commonly used to treat the symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and andropause, and have been shown to restore the body’s hormones in a safe, effective way. 

Pellet Therapy

At Exceed, we utilize pellet therapy for hormone management. We firmly believe through our years of research that pellet therapy offers a natural and effective method of hormone replacement. Benefits of bio-identical pellets include: 

  • A consistent and prolonged release of hormones

  • Specifically designed to match your body, making pellet therapy more effective in treating hormone deficiencies
