Natural Hormone Pellet Therapy
Hormones are natural chemicals that are released by the body to affect a variety of functions including metabolism, muscle mass, energy, mental clarity, libido, mood and sleep. Hormone loss is typically seen as people age. However, hormone deficiencies can be due to several other causes at all ages. Treatment is individualized based on history, symptoms and hormone testing.
Bio-identical hormones are derived from plants and function identical to human hormones. Natural hormone pellets avoid liver metabolism, produce little side effects and maintain a steady blood level of hormone. This helps to avoid the “roller coaster” effect of injections and every day inconvenience of creams. Pellets are inserted just under the skin, in the posterior hip region, using local anesthetic. The procedure is less than 30 minutes and pellets typically last 3-4 months.
