Sweat exists to help cool the body down. With less hair covering your skin your body is better able to regulate body temperature. This means that you won't need to sweat as much to release heat from your body, making you feel cooler and dryer, especially in the summer.
Erectile Dysfunction
An occasional inability to get or maintain an erection is not necessarily a cause for concern. But frequent ED could signal an underlying mental or physical health condition that requires treatment. Anyone with ED symptoms should visit a doctor for a diagnosis and treatment.

Recognizing hormonal imbalances is pivotal for maintaining overall health and well-being.
For women, signs may include irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, fatigue, and changes in libido.
Men may experience symptoms such as low energy, diminished muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, and mood fluctuations.
Both genders might observe disturbances in sleep patterns, weight fluctuations, and difficulties in concentration. Identifying these signs early empowers individuals to seek timely intervention and personalized hormonal therapies, fostering a path towards hormonal balance and optimized health.
Pellets are crafted from naturally derived soybeans, hormone replacement pellets contain either estradiol or testosterone, mirroring the body's natural hormones. These small, solid pellets, slightly larger than a grain of rice, are pharmacist-made and arrive in sterile glass vials at our office. Offering a consistent hormone delivery over 3-5 months for women, pellets outshine creams, pills, and patches by avoiding fluctuations. The natural composition ensures complete absorption, reducing the risk of blood clots compared to other synthetic hormones. With a remarkable success rate, even for those dissatisfied with other hormone therapy methods, pellet therapy stands out as an optimal choice.
Sermorelin, also known as sermorelin acetate, is a synthetic peptide that acts as a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It is used as a medical treatment to stimulate the production and release of natural growth hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland in the brain. Growth hormone plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, tissue repair, and overall body development.
Sermorelin works by mimicking the action of natural GHRH. Here's how the process generally works:
Stimulation of Pituitary Gland: Sermorelin is typically administered through subcutaneous injections. Once in the body, it acts on the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain.
GHRH Binding: Sermorelin binds to specific receptors on the surface of pituitary cells that are responsible for producing and releasing growth hormone.
Stimulation of Growth Hormone Release: By binding to these receptors, sermorelin triggers the pituitary gland to release more growth hormone into the bloodstream. This release occurs in a pulsatile manner, similar to the natural pattern of growth hormone release in the body.
Effects on Target Tissues: Once released into the bloodstream, growth hormone exerts its effects on various target tissues throughout the body. It promotes growth and development in children and adolescents, as well as influences metabolism, muscle growth, and tissue repair in adults.
Sermorelin is often used as a treatment option for individuals with growth hormone deficiency, a condition where the pituitary gland does not produce adequate amounts of growth hormone. It is also sometimes used off-label for anti-aging purposes and athletic performance enhancement, although its effectiveness for these purposes is still a subject of debate and research.
Compared to direct administration of synthetic growth hormone, using sermorelin to stimulate the body's natural production of growth hormone can help maintain a more natural pattern of hormone release, potentially reducing the risk of negative side effects associated with excessive or improperly regulated growth hormone levels. It's important to note that the use of sermorelin should be done under the supervision of a qualified medical professional, as improper usage can lead to adverse effects and imbalances in hormone levels. The appropriate dosage and administration schedule are determined based on individual health considerations and the specific condition being treated.
The benefits of Sermorelin include:
- Stimulation of Natural Growth Hormone Production: Sermorelin promotes the production and release of natural growth hormone from the pituitary gland, aiding in maintaining optimal growth hormone levels.
- Improved Growth and Development: In children and adolescents, Sermorelin supports growth and development by enhancing the effects of growth hormone.
- Enhanced Metabolism: Sermorelin influences metabolism, potentially aiding in weight management and fat loss.
- Muscle Growth and Tissue Repair: The growth hormone released through Sermorelin plays a role in muscle growth, tissue repair, and overall body development.
- Potential Anti-Aging Effects: Sermorelin is sometimes used off-label for anti-aging purposes, with ongoing research exploring its efficacy in addressing age-related concerns.
- Athletic Performance Enhancement: While still a subject of debate and research, some individuals use Sermorelin for potential benefits in athletic performance enhancement.
- More Natural Hormone Release: Compared to direct administration of synthetic growth hormone, Sermorelin helps maintain a more natural pattern of growth hormone release, potentially reducing the risk of negative side effects associated with excessive or improperly regulated growth hormone levels.
The benefits of bremelanotide include:
- Increased Sexual Desire: Bremelanotide is designed to address hypoactive sexual desire disorder, a condition characterized by a persistent lack of sexual interest, fantasies, or initiation of sexual activity.
- Enhanced Sexual Arousal: The peptide acts on melanocortin receptors in the central nervous system, leading to increased sexual arousal.
- Improved Sexual Satisfaction: Bremelanotide aims to improve sexual satisfaction by addressing factors related to low sexual desire and arousal.
- Non-Hormonal Approach: Unlike some other treatments for sexual dysfunction, bremelanotide does not involve hormonal changes, making it a non-hormonal option for women experiencing HSDD.
Elevating your natural testosterone levels presents a viable solution for men with lower testosterone levels yet the potential for increased production. Through comprehensive blood tests, we can assess your candidacy for this option, particularly beneficial for younger men or those prioritizing fertility maintenance. Opting for testosterone boosting mitigates the risk of undesirable side effects linked to inadequately monitored testosterone replacement therapy, such as testicular shrinkage, diminished fertility, and heightened red blood cell counts.
Our approach extends to assisting in the restoration of your natural testosterone levels, especially after the use of other hormones or supplements that may have contributed to a decline post-discontinuation. Take control of your hormonal health with our tailored strategies, ensuring a nuanced and effective approach to optimize your well-being.
Pellet therapy boasts minimal and easily treatable side effects. While exceptionally rare, instances of inflammation at the insertion site or pellet displacement may occur. Generally, patients only encounter minor bruising at the insertion site.
Awareness of potential side effects is vital. Although uncommon, issues such as enlarged breasts, prostate concerns, decreased sperm count, prolonged erections, acne, and sleep apnea may arise. Also, testosterone stimulation of bone marrow may increase red blood cell production; if levels get too high, blood donation is a viable solution. Our clinic prioritize your well-being, working closely to tailor dosages and minimize any side effects. The overarching aim of testosterone therapy is to enhance your health and quality of life, assisting men in rediscovering passion, strength, and confidence. Schedule a visit with us to discover how testosterone therapy can positively impact your life, and let's achieve your goals together.
Pellet therapy stands out for its minimal side effects, with rare instances of transient breast discomfort, nipple tenderness, or bloating. Infrequent occurrences include minor bruising at the insertion site, inflammation, or pellet displacement. Sensitive hormone receptors may lead to temporary water weight gain, and for women with a uterus, some menstrual-type bleeding may occur, easily managed by adjusting pellet dosage. Testosterone pellets may result in manageable effects like increased hair growth or mild acne. Inform us promptly about any side effects during the brief hormone balancing process for personalized adjustments.
