Pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that delivers consistent, long-lasting hormone support using tiny pellets placed just beneath the skin. These pellets, typically derived from natural plant-based hormones like estrogen and testosterone, are inserted during a quick, in-office procedure—usually in the hip area—under local anesthesia. Once implanted, the pellets release a steady stream of hormones directly into the bloodstream, closely mimicking the body's natural hormonal rhythms. Most patients begin to notice symptom relief within 1–2 weeks, with effects lasting 3–6 months.

Pellet therapy is especially beneficial for individuals in perimenopause or menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate or decline. Restoring balance can help ease many of the uncomfortable symptoms associated with this transition.

​Why You Might Benefit from Testosterone Therapy/Pellets:

​

• Low libido or sexual dysfunction – Testosterone can enhance sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction.

• Decreased energy or chronic fatigue – It can help restore stamina and reduce feelings of exhaustion.

• Loss of muscle mass or strength – Testosterone supports lean muscle development and physical strength.

• Inability to lose weight (body fat) - Testosterone makes fat loss easier.

• Mood swings, irritability, or depression – Balanced testosterone levels may promote emotional stability and a more positive mood.

• Brain fog or trouble concentrating – It can improve mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function.

• Reduced motivation or drive – Testosterone often boosts motivation, confidence, and overall sense of well-being.

• Thinning hair or skin changes – Hormonal support can improve hair growth and skin elasticity.

• Poor recovery from exercise – Testosterone can enhance muscle recovery and physical performance.

• Convenient, long-lasting hormone delivery with no daily maintenance

 

While testosterone is commonly thought of as a male hormone, it plays a crucial role in women’s health—especially during and after menopause, when levels naturally decline. Therapy should always be personalized and monitored by a qualified provider to ensure safety and optimal results​.

Why You Might Benefit from Estrogen Therapy:

​

• Relief from hot flashes and night sweats – Estrogen helps regulate body temperature and reduce vasomotor symptoms.

• Improved vaginal health – It can alleviate vaginal dryness, irritation, and discomfort during intercourse.

• Better sleep quality – Estrogen supports more restful, uninterrupted sleep.

• Enhanced mood and emotional balance – It may reduce anxiety, irritability, and depressive symptoms.

• Support for bone density – Estrogen helps prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

• Protection for heart health – Estrogen may support healthy cholesterol levels and vascular function.

• Reduction in urinary tract symptoms – It can help with urinary frequency, urgency, and infections.

 

Estrogen therapy can be a powerful tool in managing the many physical and emotional changes that come with hormonal decline. As with all hormone therapies, treatment should be tailored to the individual and monitored by a healthcare professional for safety and effectiveness.
