Subcutaneous hormone pellets are often a preferred method of delivery as they metabolize in the body as the body intends. Hormones are released consistently over time and are less likely to cause fluctuations like other hormone treatments. Depending on your needs, your <a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/evexipel.com\/provider-directory\/\">EvexiPEL provider<\/a> may employ a combination of pellets and other hormone treatments to optimize your hormones.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <div post_id=\"1731\" header_id=\"header-1559368995861\" id=\"header-1559368995861\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head1559368995861\"  >\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-plus fa fas fa-caret-right\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-minus fa fas fa-caret-down\"><\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"header-text-1559368995861\"    class=\"accordions-head-title\">Why Choose Pellets?<\/div>\r\n    <\/div><div class=\"accordion-content content1559368995861\">\r\n    <p>Pellet therapy is simple! Patients only need to see their EvexiPEL provider 3-4 times per year for pellet insertion, and the procedure takes less than 15 minutes. You don't have to worry about applying creams or remembering to take daily pills, making everything easier for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <div post_id=\"1731\" header_id=\"header-1559369038644\" id=\"header-1559369038644\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head1559369038644\"  >\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-plus fa fas fa-caret-right\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-minus fa fas fa-caret-down\"><\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"header-text-1559369038644\"    class=\"accordions-head-title\">How Long Until I See Results?<\/div>\r\n    <\/div><div class=\"accordion-content content1559369038644\">\r\n    <p>Hormone optimization is just as unique as every patient. Once the pellets are inserted into the gluteal area, a consistent dose of bio-identical hormones enter the bloodstream and BHRT will begin to work within 7-10 days after pellet insertion. Most patients report some symptom relief within 2-4 weeks, but full optimization takes up to 6 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <div post_id=\"1731\" header_id=\"header-1559369052083\" id=\"header-1559369052083\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head1559369052083\"  >\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-plus fa fas fa-caret-right\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-minus fa fas fa-caret-down\"><\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"header-text-1559369052083\"    class=\"accordions-head-title\">What is the Goal of Hormone Optimization Therapy?<\/div>\r\n    <\/div><div class=\"accordion-content content1559369052083\">\r\n    <p>BHRT seeks to relieve the various common, and debilitating, symptoms associated with aging, which are often left unaddressed by healthcare providers. Stress, fatigue, low libido, a foggy mind, and weight gain are among some of the most common symptoms. The goal of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is to address the root cause of symptoms by optimizing hormone levels in men and women.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <div post_id=\"1731\" header_id=\"header-1559369078540\" id=\"header-1559369078540\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head1559369078540\"  >\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-plus fa fas fa-caret-right\"><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"accordion-icons left accordion-minus fa fas fa-caret-down\"><\/div>\r\n        <div id=\"header-text-1559369078540\"    class=\"accordions-head-title\">How Can I Get Started With BHRT?<\/div>\r\n    <\/div><div class=\"accordion-content content1559369078540\">\r\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/evexipel.com\/provider-directory\/\">Find the EvexiPEL provider<\/a> nearest to you and schedule your confidential consultation!
