What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy uses tiny pellets about the size of a grain of rice that are placed beneath the skin. These pellets slowly release bioidentical hormones into the bloodstream, providing consistent hormone levels throughout the day.
​
Unlike pills, creams, or injections, pellet therapy provides:
-
Steady hormone release 24/7
-
No daily medication routine
-
Fewer hormone level fluctuations
-
Long-lasting results
Pellets typically dissolve naturally over several months.
​What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. Because of this identical molecular structure, the body recognizes and uses them similarly to natural hormones.
​
Bioidentical hormone therapy may be used to restore levels of:
-
Testosterone
-
Estrogen
-
Progesterone
Balanced hormone levels play an important role in energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and overall health.
Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance
Hormone levels naturally decline with age, which can lead to symptoms that affect both physical and mental well-being.
​
Common symptoms include:
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Brain fog
-
Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
-
Reduced muscle mass
-
Low libido
-
Mood changes or irritability
-
Poor sleep
-
Hot flashes or night sweats
-
Joint pain or increased aches
Hormone therapy may help restore balance and relieve many of these symptoms.
