Hormones. They’re like little air traffic controllers directing everything in the body — digestion, brain function, immune system, mood, libido and more. As men and women age, our hormones decline and fall out of balance, which has a big impact on our health and well-being.

BHRT pellet therapy delivers replacement hormones via pellets placed under the skin. Data shows this is the safest and most effective method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. The pellets are made from organic plant materials and share the exact molecular structure of hormones found naturally in the body. Each pellet is about the size of a cooked grain of rice. The procedure is painless.

Medical literature shows BHRT pellet therapy delivers consistent levels of hormones into the bloodstream, avoiding the fluctuations observed when using creams, pills, shots, patches or other methods. Pellets last three to four months in women and four to six months in men.

If you suffer from any of the following, you may have low or fluctuating hormone levels:

  • Brain fog, loss of concentration or memory lapses
  • Insomnia or disrupted sleep
  • Hot flashes or night sweats
  • Anxiety, depression or mood swings
  • Weight Gain or changes in body composition
  • Fatigue
  • Dry skin, thinning hair or brittle nails
  • Reduced libido or sexual function

Having balanced and optimized hormone levels can provide myriad benefits for the body. The many benefits of BHRT include:

  • Relief from menopausal and premenopausal symptoms. These can include hot flashes, nights sweats, mood swings and vaginal dryness.
  • Improved bone health. Balanced hormones help prevent bone loss and improve bone density, reducing the risk of fractures and other bone-related injuries.
  • Reduced risk for certain diseases including cardiovascular and Alzheimer’s.
  • Increased libido. BHRT is shown to improve sexual health, lubrication and satisfaction.
  • Boosted energy levels. Studies show women who use BHRT report increased energy levels and reduced fatigue compared to those who don’t.
  • Increased muscle mass and strength. Optimal hormone levels help improve overall physical function and quality of life.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed women receiving testosterone therapy were able to lose twice as much body fat and gain more muscle mass than women who were given a placebo.
