HRT

Pellets

Bio-identical pellet therapy provides a steady consistent level of hormone for 3-4 months for women and 4-5 months for men, sometimes longer. Bio-identical means the hormones are molecularly structured to be identified as self made in the body. The pellets used at Essential health are over 99% pure bio-identical hormone. Other pellets may contain 3-4% filler.

Pellets are placed in the subcutaneous tissue in both men and women. Testosterone pellets for both men and women while women can also support healthy estrogen levels by receiving estradiol pellets as well.

A study in Finland published 2015 followed women for 15 years on estradiol and progesterone and found no increase in cancer risk but found a great benefit to aging well with heart and brain protection. By avoiding oral pills for estrogen it was found that it negated a potential increase risk in blood clots or strokes.

The benefits of hormone pellets include but are not limited to: improved energy, sleep, libido, cognition and mood/sense of well being. Testosterone can reduce migraines significantly. Improved muscle tone, development and strength. A steady consist level of hormones is important for overall sense of wellbeing. I have found that pellets bring the most dramatic relief to women and men. It is with pellet therapy that I get the “that was life changing” response from my patients.

IV THERAPY

MENOPAUSE (ALL PHASES)


Just because you were told - this is aging, or this is how it is…we can show you it is not the case.

Essential health takes a personalized, root-cause approach to supporting women through all stages of menopause — from perimenopause to postmenopause — by addressing the hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors that influence how each woman experiences this transition. Instead of just managing symptoms like hot flashes, weight gain, fatigue, or mood swings with medication alone, functional health looks deeper into underlying imbalances in hormones (like estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid), gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and stress. Through targeted lab testing, individualized nutrition plans, hormone-balancing strategies, and lifestyle modifications, functional health empowers women to regain control of their bodies, feel more balanced, and improve long-term well-being during and after menopause.

THYROID

Karen is an expert on Thyroid.

Meaning she has a deep understanding of the complex interplay between the thyroid gland, hormones, and the body’s metabolism, energy regulation, and overall health. This expertise requires proficiency in diagnosing and treating a wide range of thyroid disorders — including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and Graves’ disease — using evidence-based practices. Karen stays current with evolving research, hormone testing protocols, and treatment options, including medication, lifestyle adjustments, and nutritional strategies. Importantly, She uses approaches to treat each patient holistically, recognizing that thyroid health is interconnected with the immune system, adrenal function, gut health, and mental well-being.

MOLD/PARASITES

PROTOCOLS & CLEANSES

Parasites and mold can have a profound and often overlooked impact on your health, especially when exposure is chronic or undiagnosed. Parasites—organisms that live in or on your body—can disrupt digestion, deplete nutrients, cause inflammation, and weaken the immune system, leading to symptoms like bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues. Similarly, exposure to toxic mold (especially mold species that produce mycotoxins) can trigger a wide range of symptoms including respiratory problems, headaches, hormonal imbalances, mood disturbances, and even neurological issues. Both parasites and mold can act as hidden stressors that drive systemic inflammation and impair the body's ability to detoxify properly. In functional medicine, identifying and addressing these root causes is key to restoring energy, clarity, and overall health.

INFRARED SAUNA

DETOXIFICATION

Infrared heat increases your blood circulation and stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built up toxins in the body. Perspiration is a natural way of expelling these toxins from the body and infrared saunas generate a sweat nearly 7 times more detoxifying than a traditional or steam sauna. Detoxification via infrared sauna therapy is commonly recommended for those suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivity (also known as environmental illness), and fibromyalgia.

WEIGHT LOSS AND CARDIO HEALTH

As you relax in the gentle infrared heat, your body is actually hard at work producing sweat, pumping blood, and burning calories. As your body increases sweat production to cool itself, your heart will work harder to pump blood at a greater rate to boost circulation. This increase in your metabolism will burn calories. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, “Many of us who run do so to place a demand on our cardiovascular system, … regular use of a sauna imparts a similar stress on the cardiovascular system, and its regular use may be as effective a means of cardiovascular conditioning and burning of calories as regular exercise. Put another way - A cardiovascular workout equivalent to an hour of exercise without the muscle fatigue or pain.

PAIN RELIEF

The deep heat of an infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscle, so they recover faster. Muscles are also able to relax most readily when tissues are warm, for greater flexibility and range of motion. Infrared heat relieves muscle tension, thereby helping your body to make the most of its intended healing abilities. Infrared heat reduces soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms as muscle joints and fibers are heated..

STRESS RELIEF & BETTER SLEEP

Saunas also increase serotonin, a powerful hormone associated with relaxation and sleep. Following a sauna, people show more brain waves related to deeper, more restful sleep.

PEPTIDES

Peptides play a critical role in various biological functions.

Types of Peptides

Peptides can be classified based on their origin and function:

  • Therapeutic peptides – Used in medicine to treat diseases (e.g., insulin for diabetes).

  • Cosmetic peptides – Used in skincare products for anti-aging and skin repair.

  • Signaling peptides – Act as messengers in the body to trigger specific biological processes.

  • Antimicrobial peptides – Help fight bacteria and infections.

  • Hormonal peptides – Like growth
    hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs)

    Peptides are powerful and versatile molecules that offer numerous health, wellness, and aesthetic benefits. From improving skin texture and boosting
    muscle growth to enhancing brain
    function and supporting immune health, their applications are wide-ranging. They play roles in modern medicine, anti-aging, and sports performance.

SUPPLEMENTS

Supplements can provide essential nutrients that may be missing from a person’s diet, helping to support overall health and wellness. They are especially beneficial for individuals with specific nutritional deficiencies, dietary restrictions, or health conditions that make it difficult to absorb or consume enough nutrients through food alone.

For example, vitamin D supplements can support bone health in people with limited sun exposure, while iron supplements may help prevent anemia.

Additionally, supplements like omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and antioxidants may contribute to heart, gut, and immune health. When used appropriately and under medical guidance, supplements can be a valuable addition to a balanced lifestyle.
