Pellets Hit the Bulls Eye for Women and Men with Symptoms of Aging

Boca Raton, FL - August 29, 2007 - BodyLogicMD's anti-aging physicians are right on target with the latest in bioidentical hormone therapy. Pellet therapy, for women and men, helps sliding sex drives, thickening waistlines, depleted energy, and other symptoms of menopause and andropause (the male menopause).

Pellet therapy is a revolutionary new approach to bioidentical hormone therapy that is generating high praise from men and women seeking relief from the signs of hormone imbalance due to aging. Patients find the long-lasting pellets easy and convenient, especially since there is no need to remember a daily pill schedule or to use messy creams or injections for relief. Furthermore, physicians with BodyLogicMD, a national network of anti-aging physicians specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy services with 15 locations and more opening everyday, report great success with this highly effective method for delivering hormones to help restore health and vitality.

After carefully measuring current hormone levels and completing a detailed symptoms analysis, a BodyLogicMD anti-aging physician can determine a patient’s individual needs for the custom-made hormone pellets, which contain estradiol or testosterone. During a simple in-office procedure, the tiny pellets are inserted into the hip, buttock or bikini area. The small incision site doesn’t even require stitches – just a small bandage. Sustained hormone delivery into the bloodstream is immediate and can last up to six months.

“Pellet therapy provides consistent secretions of bioidentical hormones that can mimic the hormone function of a healthy 30-something woman or man,” says Dr. Alicia Stanton, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD. “The pellets react to the needs of the body, so they actually secrete additional hormones – just as the body would if it could – when the body is affected by stress or exercise. My patients don’t have extreme highs and lows because the delivery is constantly maintained.”

Patients are closely monitored to help ensure they sustain proper hormone levels, as well as determine the timing for subsequent pellet insertions.

Men and women who have chosen bioidentical hormone pellet therapy report anti-aging properties, such as firmer skin, as well as the following benefits:

• Better mental focus
• Decreased anxiety and depression
• Greater success at losing weight and getting in shape
• Increased bone density
• More energy
• Stronger libido
• For men – stronger erections
• For women – reduction of hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness

Safe, convenient and effective, pellet therapy has been available in the United States since 1939. With the recent growth in bioidentical hormone therapy to help balance body chemistry, pellets provide a sustainable delivery method with an effect that is similar to the way hormones are naturally produced in the body prior to menopause and andropause.

“Most of my patients notice a difference very quickly. Some even feel a difference the next day,” says Dr. Stanton. “But it can take up to two weeks for the full affect to be felt. For some of my patients, this is the only way they have found to tolerate hormone therapy. In addition, my patients are relieved to learn that the testosterone pellets do not increase the risk for breast cancer.”

Women and men considering hormone therapy to ease – or even reverse – the symptoms of menopause and andropause should seek a physician who is well versed in hormone therapy and the available delivery systems.
