For years, hormone therapy has been surrounded by fear—especially when it comes to blood clots. But what many people don't realize is that how estrogen is delivered can significantly change its effects.

Research consistently shows that transdermal estrogen (patches, gels, and creams) bypasses the liver, resulting in little to no increased risk of venous blood clots in most healthy women compared with oral estrogen, which undergoes first-pass metabolism and increases clotting factor production.

This is why individualized care matters. The "best" hormone isn't just about the medication—it's also about choosing the right route for the right patient.

At Basix, we believe in making decisions based on physiology, not fear.

There are many myths surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Even many medical providers don't understand HRT. Continuing education is needed in the medical community. My goal here, is to educate on the truths of HRT, to dig into the studies, and to share what truly is evidence based. This is what I apply in my practice at Basix Health and Wellness.

At the 15 minute mark is when they get into the meat and potatoes of HRT. I have completed hours on hours of continuing education with Nico, and he is a VERY good resource to learn from.

Are you afraid to start hormone replacement therapy due to family history or worry of risks?

This week, we will help with Myth vs facts, and talk about where the myths stem from. Find out more about progesterone in our recent blog post!

If you've spent any time researching hormone replacement therapy (HRT), you've probably noticed that the words progesterone and progestin are often used interchangeably. While they may sound similar, they are not the same medication, and from a pharmacology standpoint, the differences matter.At Basi...

Peptides have become one of the hottest topics in health and wellness—and for good reason. Researchers are studying certain peptides for their potential roles in tissue repair, metabolism, inflammation, body composition, and healthy aging. As interest has grown, so has the number of products being sold online.

The problem? Not all peptides come from the same source.

With the upcoming FDA meeting, you're likely to see headlines about peptide regulations. It's important to know that this meeting is not about approving peptides as FDA-approved medications. Instead, the FDA will be reviewing whether certain peptides should be eligible for compounding by licensed pharmacies under specific circumstances.

Understanding the difference between FDA-approved medications, compounded medications, and research-grade products can help you make informed decisions about your health.

At BASIX Health & Wellness, we're committed to transparency, evidence-based care, and helping our patients understand exactly what they're putting into their bodies.

I see this pattern constantly: you're doing everything 'right'-eating less, moving more, following the plan-and your body still won't budge. Energy crashes by 3 PM. Mood swings. Scale won't move.

Here's what most doctors miss: chronic inflammation is silently sabotaging your metabolism and hormones. It's the invisible saboteur behind insulin resistance, stubborn weight gain, and that exhausted feeling that no amount of sleep fixes.

The breakthrough? When my patients identify and address the inflammation first-before jumping into another restrictive diet-that's when sustainable results actually happen. We're talking real energy return, metabolism that responds, and a body that feels like yours again.

Your first step: discover whether inflammation is the root cause blocking your progress. I built the Basix Health Assessment specifically to uncover this-it's a complete picture of your labs, hormones, and what's actually going on under the surface.

No guessing. No cookie-cutter advice. Just personalized answers.
