Frequently asked questions

It’s a common assumption—but hormone optimization is not one-size-fits-all. Pellets are one option, but they’re not the only option—and they’re not always the best place to start. At Precision Health, we take a deeper look at your overall metabolic health, symptoms, and goals before recommending any treatment. Hormone therapy should be personalized, not pre-packaged. The reality is that pellets can be a higher-margin treatment in many clinics, which is why they’re often the default recommendation. We take a different approach. We focus on outcomes, not volume or profit. Our providers have the experience to understand hormones at a cellular level and can design protocols using a variety of delivery methods—so you get what’s right for your body, not what’s most convenient for a clinic. Our hormone treatment mix is about 50/50 (pellets vs non-pellets). When doing your research ask clinics what their mix is. "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail", other clinics 😀

Like everything we offer at Precision Health, we’ve done the research so you don’t have to. We extensively evaluate the therapies and products we use to ensure they align with our commitment to safety, consistency, and outcomes. For hormone pellets, we use bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) through Evexias. We’ve chosen this platform because of its clinical rigor, dosing consistency, and track record of delivering reliable, patient-centered results. Their approach is grounded in science and designed to support more precise, individualized hormone optimization. Most importantly, it fits our philosophy—using high-quality, well-researched therapies that allow us to tailor treatment to each patient, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all, inexpensive or more convenient solution. If interested in a deeper dive on the EvexiPEL solution from Evexias - here you go: EvexiPEL is often considered a premium choice in hormone pellet therapy due to its proprietary formulation and a clinical method that focuses on root-cause wellness rather than just symptom management. Compared to other providers, EvexiPEL highlights several specific technical and clinical advantages: 1. Proprietary Pellet Formulation Binding Matrix: Unlike some competitors that use stearic acid, EvexiPEL pellets use a methylcellulose base. Manufacturer data suggests this allows for a smoother, more consistent hormone release and may reduce the inflammatory response at the insertion site. Manufacturing Precision: The pellets are shaped with rounded granules to provide a more consistent surface area, which helps maintain a steady absorption rate over the 3–6 month (female vs male formulary) lifespan of the pellet. Reduced Complications: The formulation is designed to minimize scar tissue formation, which leads to fewer pellet extrusions and a decreased need for "boost" doses compared to older pellet types. 2. The EvexiPEL Clinical Method Advanced Testing: While some providers use basic lab panels, the EvexiPEL method mandates comprehensive diagnostic testing. This includes evaluating metabolic, thyroid, and nutrient markers to identify the actual source of symptoms. Dosing Algorithm: Providers use a proprietary, data-driven algorithm to calculate personalized doses based on the patient's unique lab data, medical history, and activity levels. Specialized Insertion: EvexiPEL-trained providers use a patented, gentle insertion technique designed to maximize patient comfort and optimize how the body absorbs the hormones. 3. Holistic Philosophy vs. Symptom Management Root-Cause Focus: Many traditional clinics focus on quick symptom relief. EvexiPEL-trained professionals are taught to integrate hormone optimization with lifestyle medicine, targeted nutrition, and nutraceuticals. Provider Training: All providers must complete advanced HRT training to ensure they meet a national clinical standard of care. Integrated Support: The approach often includes ongoing follow-up and lifestyle coaching rather than just a "prescription and go" model.
