Let’s break down why DHEA is sometimes added with Alisha Cannon, FNP-C, Certified Biote Hormone Replacement Provider

🧬 What is DHEA?
• DHEA is a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands.
• It’s a precursor to other s*x hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and estradiol.
• Levels peak in your 20s and decline with age sometimes steeply after 40.

🔍 Why Add DHEA to Hormone Therapy?

1. Support Hormone Balance

DHEA can help fill in gaps when your body isn’t producing enough and help with:
• Energy
• Mood
• Libido
• Mental clarity

It provides raw material your body can convert into needed hormones (like estrogen or testosterone) more naturally.

2. Improve Libido & Mood (Especially in Women)

In women, low DHEA can contribute to:
• Low libido
• Vaginal dryness
• Fatigue
• Depression or anxiety

Studies show low-dose DHEA can help, especially during perimenopause or when on estrogen therapy.

3. Enhance the Effects of Testosterone Therapy (Men & Women)

In people already on testosterone, DHEA might:
• Support adrenal hormone balance
• Prevent flat moods or energy dips
• Promote cognitive benefits (memory, focus)

Especially helpful if the person still feels “off” even with normal testosterone level.

4. Adrenal Support

Chronic stress or illness can burn out your adrenals, causing low DHEA-S levels.
Adding DHEA helps rebuild adrenal hormone reserves and stabilize other systems like:
• Cortisol balance
• Sleep-wake cycle
• Blood sugar regulation

⚖️ Should Everyone on HRT Take DHEA?

Not necessarily.
It’s best to test first before supplementing.

🧪 Blood tests to look at:
• DHEA-S (sulfate form) → tells you adrenal output
• Cortisol → if stress/adrenal fatigue is suspected
• Other s*x hormone levels to evaluate need

If levels are low and symptoms match, your provider may recommend 10–50 mg daily (lower for women, higher for men, depending on needs).

🧐Education Wednesday with Alisha Cannon, FNP-C on Testosterone Hormone Therapy also known as Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment designed to restore healthy testosterone levels in individuals (Men & Women) with low testosterone (Low T or hypogonadism).

Let’s break down what it is, who it’s for, how it works, and what to watch out for:

🧬 What Is Testosterone Therapy?

Testosterone therapy supplements or replaces your body’s natural testosterone when levels are below normal and causing symptoms like:
• Fatigue
• Low libido or erectile dysfunction
• Depression or low mood
• Loss of muscle mass or strength
• Brain fog or poor focus
• Weight gain, especially in the belly
• Poor sleep or irritability

🧪 Diagnosis Before Therapy

Testosterone therapy should never be started without proper testing:
1. Total testosterone: Best tested early morning (before 10 a.m.)
2. Free testosterone: More accurate for symptoms
3. LH, FSH: To determine if it’s primary or secondary hypogonadism
4. Other labs:
• SHBG, estradiol
• CBC (hematocrit)
• PSA (for prostate health)
• Lipids, liver function

🔄 What Happens on TRT?

The Good:
• Increased energy and drive
• Improved muscle mass and fat loss
• Boosted libido and s*xual function
• Better mood, confidence, and mental clarity
• Enhanced sleep quality

The Risks & Side Effects:
• Increased red blood cells (HCT/Hgb) → can lead to blood thickening
• Acne or oily skin
• Hair loss in genetically prone individuals
• Mood swings or irritability if dose isn’t right
• Testicular shrinkage or infertility (suppressing natural production)
• Gynecomastia (man b***s) if estrogen rises too high
• Sleep apnea can worsen in some

👉 That’s why monitoring labs every 3–6 months is essential.

🧠 Long-Term Considerations
• Fertility: TRT can suppress s***m production. If fertility is a concern, HCG or Clomid might be used instead or alongside TRT.
• Prostate health: No strong evidence TRT causes prostate cancer, but PSA should still be monitored.
• Heart health: Conflicting studies supervised TRT may lower risk, but overuse or poor monitoring can raise risks.

🔐 Who Is a Candidate?

You might qualify if:
• You have consistently low T levels (usually

Medical weight loss using GLP-1 agonists has become one of the most effective, doctor-supervised options for significant and sustained weight loss — especially for people struggling with obesity or metabolic conditions.

Here’s a breakdown of what it is, how it works, and what to know:

🧬 What Are GLP-1s?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is a naturally occurring hormone that:
• Regulates blood sugar
• Slows down stomach emptying
• Signals fullness to your brain

In medical weight loss, GLP-1 receptor agonists are injectable or oral medications that mimic this hormone to suppress appetite and help you lose weight.

* Dietary Therapy
* Pharmacotherapy
* B6 & B12 injections
* Mic/ Lipo injections
* Clean Start Weight Loss
* Peptide Therapy
* GLP-1 Injections
* Body Contouring (EvolveX, CoolSculpting, Lipo Cavitation, Lipo Light, Radio Frequency, Morpheus8 Body
* Weekly Follow ups/Coaching

✨Good Bye Fine Lines! 💉 Botox dosage is not one-size-fits-all.

It depends on multiple factors unique to each person:

🔍 What Determines Your Ideal Botox Dose:
1. Muscle strength & activity
• Stronger or more active muscles (like in men or expressive faces) need more units.
2. Treatment area
• Forehead lines typically need 10–20 units, while glabellar lines (11s) often need 20–30U— but that’s just an average.
3. Age & skin condition
• More mature skin or deeper static wrinkles may need more product to soften lines.
4. Metabolism & lifestyle
• Athletes or fast metabolizers may “burn through” Botox faster and need touch-ups sooner.
5. Past Botox history
• First-timers may need a more conservative approach; seasoned patients may already know their sweet spot.
6. Facial symmetry & goals
• Some people have one eyebrow that pulls higher, a crooked smile, or uneven muscle pull — dosing is adjusted for balance.

Intro Pricing one week only: August 27th-Sept 4th. Aeriessence PDGF (Growth Factor) to look years younger. $650 per vial hair restoration or under eye regeneration and $425 per vial for add on laser treatment. Skin Pen treatment with PDGF $750

Aeriessence (or Ariessence) PDGF, a new growth-factor treatment leveraging Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) for two powerful anti-aging goals: hair restoration and under-eye rejuvenation. Here’s a fresh deep dive into what it is, how it works, and what to expect.

What Is Aeriessence/Ariessence PDGF?

Ariessence Pure PDGF+ is a pharmaceutical-grade, plant-derived or lab engineered form of PDGF‑BB—a potent rejuvenating protein designed to stimulate tissue regeneration without the need for blood draws or animal products. It’s used for both skin and hair treatments.

Under‑Eye Rejuvenation: How It Works & Benefits
• Mechanism: When injected under the eyes, PDGF activates fibroblasts and other skin cells through pathways like MAPK and PI3K/AKT, promoting collagen, elastin, and extracellular matrix remodeling.

Additional benefits:
• Promotes microcirculation and angiogenesis to reduce dark circles.
• Improves skin thickness, tone, and texture over 4–12 weeks.

Hair Restoration: Growing from the Root
• Mechanism: Injected into the scalp, PDGF stimulates dormant hair follicles and promotes cellular activity that revitalizes hair growth.  
• Compared to PRP/PRF:
• Offers much higher, standardized concentration—up to 1,000–300,000× more potent.   
• No blood draw or patient-to-patient variability.
• Clinical findings on PDGF (in general):
• 30–40% increase in hair density.
• 40% improvement in thickness.
• Visible results often after 3–6 months of multiple sessions.
• Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months recommended.
