Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

People do not know the role our hormones play in their daily lives. In reality, hormones regulate most of our body systems. When we have an imbalance in our hormones, things can get out of whack. Hormonal imbalance can lead to depression, decreased mental clarity, insomnia, chronic fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and decreased libido, among other symptoms.

FAQs

  • Pellet therapy uses hormones derived from natural plant sources to replicate the body’s normal hormonal levels. Patients have found that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is extremely effective. Implants, placed under the skin, consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones that provide optimal therapy.

    Because the hormones used are completely natural, pellet therapy is ideal for patients who want the benefits of a natural hormone without the drawbacks of a synthetic.

  • Pellets contain a natural plant source of estrogen and testosterone. A compounding pharmacist, using strict federal guidelines, compounds the estrogen and testosterone used in the pellets.

    These pellets, which are smaller than a grain of rice, are placed in the fatty tissue underneath the skin and most closely mimic the actions of healthy ovaries and testicles with regard to hormone release into the bloodstream. The hormone pellet implantation procedure is easily performed in the office.

  • For men: usually every 4-5 months. For women: usually every 3-4 months.

  • They are pure hormone that is not metabolized into byproducts by going through the liver, stomach or skin. This delivery system allows your body to use the right amount of hormone from the pellet as the blood flow surrounding the pellets picks up what is needed.

  • Because they are pure hormone without fillers or synthetic ingredients, they completely dissolve.

  • There is an initial $100 fee for bloodwork to determine if you’re a good candidate. Once blood work comes back, it is a monthly fee of $300 for men and $600 for women.
