Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) offers a natural, effective solution to restore your vitality and well-being. Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces, so they work seamlessly with your body to offer a safer and more natural approach to hormone replacement. Hormones play a key role in disease risk and overall quality of life. Each individual is offered a personalized treatment plan to help them feel good and prevent disease. From initial consultation to ongoing monitoring, we provide expert guidance and support.

The subcutaneous pellets act as a reservoir of hormone, allowing the body to receive a consistent dose throughout the day and night. The pellets gradually absorb until they are completely dissolved, leaving no residue. Typically, a woman will find that pellets will control symptoms for 3-5 months, and a male 6-7 months. Because of the efficient and gradual delivery system of the hormone pellets, side effects are less likely than with oral or injectable hormones, and there is less incidence of issues related to poor absorption, sometimes problematic with hormone creams, gels, or patches.

Testosterone Pellet Therapy

Testosterone is a vital hormone in men and women, eliciting physiologic effects through androgen receptors in body tissues, including breast, heart, blood vessels, intestines, lungs, brain, spinal cord, nerves, bladder, uterus, ovaries, endocrine glands, vaginal tissue, skin, bone, joints, and fatty tissue. Men produce higher circulating levels of testosterone than women; however, testosterone is the most abundant active sex hormone in men and woman throughout lifespan . Testosterone has been considered a “male hormone”, thus largely ignored as an essential hormone in female physiology. This has been unfortunate, since attention has not been given to diminished quality of life and potential health. Production of testosterone peaks in mid 20’s and begins to steadily decline, down to about 50% by age 40 for women and 30 for men. This is when complaints such as increased abdominal fat, hair loss, fatigue, brain fog, loss of sex drive, reduced orgasm, anxiety, irritability, depression, headaches, and general lack of well-being. Most attribute these symptoms to a natural diminishment of vitality with aging. But, recognizing these symptoms are signaling something about our bodies, and giving attention to hormone health can improve our health and quality of life as we age.

Testosterone replacement therapy for symptomatic men and women has the potential to improve mood, libido, orgasm, energy level, and feeling of well-being. In addition, documented health benefits include reduced cardiac risk, reduced breast cancer risk, and improved bone density.

Estradiol Pellet Therapy

Estradiol is the estrogen hormone that makes a woman look female and governs much of reproductive function. This hormone also plays a role in countless bodily functions, as evidenced by estradiol receptors found in the heart, brain, bones, joints, skin, eyes, teeth, gums, nerves, blood vessels, urinary tract, reproductive organs, and more. So, with estradiol depletion, a woman suffers the loss in countless ways, with deterioration of physical, mental, and emotional health that accompanies hormonal decline. Typically, a woman’s estradiol level starts to decline in her 40’s, and is almost undetectable by her early 50’s.

Estradiol replacement therapy relieves symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, brain fog, moodiness, depression, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, low libido, dry skin, and headaches. Health benefits from non-oral estradiol supplementation include reduced risk of cardiac disease and stroke, dementia, diabetes, and loss of bone density leading to osteoporosis.
