Clinical Nutrition & Wellness
You experience a lot during your life, and if you are concerned about your health as the result of a condition, then treating the underlying cause is the right choice for your ongoing quality of life! The Premier Wellness team takes a collaborative approach when it comes to offering treatments for conditions of any kind. Our care is centered on your specific goals, and we go above and beyond to get to the root cause of your condition so that you can enjoy successful treatment and management. Our services cater to adults and children alike, and we provide comprehensive resources and education so that you are fully informed about your care.
These visits involve a comprehensive and collaborative approach to establish health goals, address challenges, and discover the root causes of your health concerns. We discuss your current symptoms, past, and family medical history, perform exams and gather lab information in order to put all of the puzzle pieces together and see a full picture of your health. With so much information on the web, it can be overwhelming and contradictory. Let us help by taking out the guesswork and connecting the dots between your symptoms and real solutions for YOU.
We offer expanded follow-up visits, based on time and complexity.
Expanded follow-up visits are 45 minutes long. This includes the visit and any lab or prescription orders.
For quick messages or questions in between follow-up visits, we do offer limited brief appointments. This can be in-person, or on the phone for 5-15 minutes. This allows time for your doctor to review your chart and fully answer your question in-between your follow-up appointments. Reading and responding to long messages takes us away from our scheduled patients so thank you for understanding and agreeing to our messaging policy.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Premier Elite uses Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy to help men and women overcome the issues and conditions associated with hormonal imbalances. A decline in hormone production is a natural part of aging in both men and women. Although it typically starts in the 30’s, most people don’t feel the full effects of declining hormones until they are closer to middle age. For men, the first indication is often problems with sexual performance and feeling like they have no ambition. Women, who are typically more in-tune with their bodies due to the monthly menstrual cycle, may complain of mood swings, weight gain, and a lowered sex drive.
Typical Symptoms of hormone imbalance in both men and women:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Fatigue
- Anxiety, depression, and irritability
- Low libido
- Memory lapses and trouble concentrating
- Weight gain
- Headaches
- Insomnia and sleep apnea
- Lack of muscle tone
Regardless of your age, gender, or specific symptoms, you can find relief with Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Live your life beyond limits with our wellness and recovery therapies that are tailored to your individual needs.
Why is Hormone Replacement Therapy Important?
Hormones are chemical messengers within the body, and must remain in balance in order for you to experience complete health. When an imbalance occurs, this can affect many aspects of your health and comfort. With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, you can take the steps towards health with a customized treatment protocol that will help you reach your goals. Our treatments are perfect for men and women alike who want to focus on overall wellness.
Hormones are essential for optimal health. As WOMEN & MEN age our bodies no longer produce the hormones we need for strong, healthy living. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy provides hormones derived from plant sources to replicate the body’s normal hormone levels. For those who suffer from fatigue, low energy, depression, anxiety, memory loss, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, weight gain, weight loss, libido issues, and sexual dysfunction BHRT provides wonderful outcomes.
BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY WITH PELLETS
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, also known as BHRT, uses small and individualized custom compounds that may help alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalance. The pellet therapy compounds are bioidentical to those hormones found in the human body.These tiny pellets are designed to help the body maintain consistent hormone levels throughout the day.
Frequently Asked Questions about BHRT
What is BHRT?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may help relieve the symptoms of hormonal imbalance by raising hormones to their normal levels.
What is Hormone Imbalance?
As we age, the production of hormones can be affected. Too much or too little of a hormone can have effects on the body, ranging from moderate to severe.
What is Pellet Therapy?
During pellet therapy, pellets are inserted subcutaneously into the body in a quick, simple, in-office procedure. These pellets will gradually be absorbed, dispersing hormones throughout the body.
How Long Does a BHRT Pellet Take to Work?
Each hormone replacement therapy patient’s symptoms are unique, and so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Most hormone therapy patients report some symptom resolution in as little as four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. The bioidentical hormone replacement therapy journey will be customized to fit each person’s specific needs.
How Can I Get Started With Bioidentical Hormone Balance Therapy?
First, a patient can schedule an office or virtual visit with Dr. Richardson, DNP, to test current hormone levels. Based on comprehensive consultation and extensive lab work, we will determine candidacy. Patients will schedule a quick follow-up appointment to review their results and for pellet therapy insertion.
What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can come in oral, topical, and pellet forms. BHRT using pellets offers a consistent administration and may help prevent roller-coaster-like effects.
Why Bioidentical Pellet Therapy?
Because it’s easy! Hormone replacement patients receive as few as three bioidentical hormone pellet insertions per year. This way they don’t have to think about it, and the hormone is available when their bodies need it. It’s a simple process, and there’s no need to worry about remembering to take a pill or shot every day.
Could Hormone Replacement Therapy Help Me?
Our bodies need hormones to help regulate our entire body. They interact with specific target cells and organs to create a change, and that makes them one of the most important regulatory systems in the body.
As we get older, hormone production slows down or changes, causing imbalances. These imbalances can cause side effects and symptoms like memory loss, low libido, joint pain, poor concentration, depression, and more.
