Dr. Peter Fotinos, Medical DirectorExcel Medical brings this idea to life with its Excel Advantage protocol, an evidence-based approach to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that paves a path to healthier aging.
While traditional medicine often emphasizes diet and exercise, Excel Medical offers a different solution, targeting visceral fat—a crucial factor in preventing age-related diseases—through its unique hormone therapies. At the heart of the protocol is daily testosterone treatment, either through subcutaneous injections or twice-daily creams or gels, designed to maintain consistent hormone levels. This approach stands in stark contrast to less frequent doses, such as weekly injections, which can lead to hormone imbalances, unwanted side effects and less effective results.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, the protocol is adjusted according to each individual’s signs, symptoms and goals—whether it’s enhancing libido, building muscle or achieving weight loss. Treatments begin with a foundational plan and are then modified based on how patients respond, ensuring optimal health outcomes.
“We make it easy for patients to access our medication by delivering it directly to their homes within days, ensuring their journey to healthier aging is smooth and convenient,” says Craig Larsen, co-founder.
What sets the Excel Advantage protocol apart is its complete approach to hormone balance. Rather than blocking estrogen—a common practice rooted in myths that it causes breast tissue growth or emotional changes in men—Excel Medical recognizes estrogen’s essential role in both men’s and women’s health.
One of the key focuses of Excel Medical is treating low thyroid function, a condition often overlooked or misdiagnosed due to outdated testing methods. With over 200 related symptoms—ranging from muscle aches and joint pain to low energy levels—low thyroid is one of the most underdiagnosed endocrine disorders. The Excel Advantage protocol takes these symptoms seriously, optimizing both thyroid and hormone levels to restore patients’ vitality and help them reclaim their health and independence.
Every two months, patients at Excel Medical complete a comprehensive symptom questionnaire to track their progress and refine their care. If the desired improvements aren’t achieved, treatments are swiftly adapted to meet each individual’s unique needs.
“With The Excel Advantage, we deliver better energy, enhanced sex drive, improved muscle mass, weight loss support, mental clarity, mood balance, and restful sleep, along with a reduced risk of age-related disease,” says Dr. Peter Fotinos, medical director.

The results speak for themselves. An impressive 96 percent of patients who follow the treatment plan for at least six months experience life-changing improvements in energy, mood, sleep, and overall health. This affirms the transformative impact of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) when done right, delivering better outcomes and lasting benefits.
One compelling case involved a diabetic patient struggling to manage his blood sugar despite multiple medications and reliance on an insulin pump. After joining Excel Medical, his health transformed. By initiating a testosterone regimen aimed at reducing visceral fat, the patient’s insulin needs decreased, allowing him to come off the pump. His A1c levels fell below the diabetic threshold to 5.4, and he also lost weight, gained muscle and became more active.
Excel Medical’s mission is clear—to help people feel better, live longer and maintain their health. It’s not just about promoting healthy aging but about extending life, where patients remain active, engaged and vibrant while aging.
