When Terri Suresh and Dan DeNeui met on abrflight from Dallas to Phoenix in 2009, little didbrthey know that their personal and professionalbrlives were about to change forever. As the two preparebrto expand their medical wellness business, EVEXIASbrMedical Centers® (formerly Hormonal Health, Wellnessbr& Aesthetic centers) into Dallas, we asked the Southlakebrcouple to share their story.
A lot has changed since that decisive flight seven yearsbrago. Today, the Southlake couple is at the forefront of abrmedical wellness revolution that turns the traditionalbrapproach to western medicine on its ear.
It all began at 2 o'clock one morning while Terri wasbrworking her third night shift in a row as an emergencybrroom nurse practitioner. As she explains, “After severalbryears working in emergency care and internal medicine,brI became disenchanted with our continual band-aidingbrof symptoms and the way that western medicine approaches health and wellness.”
At that point, Terri threw her stake in the sand. She decided then and there to open a women's wellness center.
“It was so heartbreaking to see so many people desperate for answers, and all we were doing was writingbrmore prescriptions. From a sick-care perspective, we werebronly paying attention to patients when they were sick.brNobody was grinding into how to help people stay well,brbecome well and how to prevent disease,” Terri says.
Shortly after Terri opened her Southlake women'sbrclinic, patients started asking her about hormone pelletbrtherapy.
“When I first opened the Hormonal Health and Wellnessbrclinic, I was using hormone modalities in the forms ofbrcreams and patches. Then patients kept bringing upbrpellet therapy and specifically named a local doctor whobroffered the therapy,” Terri says. “He and I ended up talkingbrextensively about the therapy and its effectiveness, whichbrled me to Arizona to train with the pioneer of hormonebrpellet therapy Dr. Gino Tutera.”
Which brings us back to that flight from Dallas tobrPhoenix. Dan knew he met someone special the firstbrmoment he laid eyes on Terri.
As he explains, “This is a true story, as we first saw each other in thebrairplane aisle, I didn't know who she was, but I knew that our chancebrmeeting was extremely significant. I just felt it in my gut. It was one ofbrthose spiritual ‘aha' moments.”
It wasn't long before the two realized that they have walked verybrsimilar lives, even before they knew each other, and they fell in love. Thebrtwo also share common ground when it comes to their faith; they'rebrmembers of Gateway Church in Southlake.
Following the Arizona trip, Terri began transitioning her patientsbrfrom patches and creams to pellet therapy. As she explains, “The pelletbrtherapy modality is far superior when done properly, and the demandbrfor it just exploded due to those results.”
Initially, Terri was operating her wellness clinic out of an 8x10 execu tive office suite in Southlake. She needed help with business structurebrand strategy, and Dan agreed to collaborate with her on the operationbrof the clinic.
In business, as in love, the two entrepreneurs found a special synergybrwith one another. “The key part is her brain processes information verybrmuch like my brain processes information – but in two different ways,”brDan says. “Her gift is on the medical side, research and delivering the bestbrlevel of patient care, and my gift is for growing businesses.”
That synergy paid off, and the practice grew rapidly.brTerri was treating hundreds of patients with hormonebrpellet therapy, as well as medical cosmetic and aestheticbrtreatments. The business has since expanded and offersbrmany additional life changing, evidence-based, medicalbrtherapies and technologies for women and men.
Until 2014, Terri and Dan were also partners in abrsuccessful pellet training company, with Terri training hundreds of practitioners nationwide and Danbrspearheading the company's national expansion andbrbranding.
Recently, the couple (who married in 2015) decidedbrit was time to rebrand the health and wellness business.br“We do so much more than hormone pellet therapy andbrthe practice is no longer geared solely to women. Morebrmen are becoming interested in wellness, especiallybras the effectiveness of testosterone pellet therapy hasbrbecome known,” Terri says.
They chose the name EVEXIAS, which is a Greekbrword meaning “much wellness” or “exuberance aboutbrwellness.” Today, EVEXIAS Medical Centers operatesbrout of two locations in Southlake and Rockwall, with abrDallas location coming in 2017.
What started as a small women's wellness clinic hasbrevolved into a growing medical wellness philosophybrthat continues to change the lives of thousands of menbrand women with pellet therapy and other leading-edgebrmedical and aesthetic treatments.
Terri Suresh-DeNeui, the Founder and CEO ofbrEVEXIAS Medical Centers, and Dan DeNeui (the yin tobrTerri’s yang) reside in Colleyville with Terri’s youngestbrdaughters Hannah and Maya. Dan recently launchedbrEXEVIAS Capital, which focuses on financial wellnessbrinvestment strategies.
