WHAT IS HORMONE PELLET THERAPY?




Bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy serves as a method to replenish hormones that diminish naturally with aging. The decline in estrogen and testosterone associated with aging leads to a hormonal imbalance, impacting various bodily functions and resulting in disruptive symptoms that affect daily life. BHRT is designed to address this imbalance and alleviate the associated symptoms.

This therapy employs naturally derived "bioidentical" hormones sourced from plants. The advantage lies in the body's efficient utilization of bioidentical hormones compared to synthetic ones, as they closely mirror the molecular structure of our natural hormones.

The term "pellet" therapy refers to the delivery mechanism of hormones. Pellets, inserted under the skin, facilitate a consistent absorption of hormones, ensuring a steady maintenance of levels as needed. Unlike typical oral and transdermal hormone delivery methods, which often lead to fluctuations in energy levels and mood, pellet therapy avoids these issues by providing a sustained release that aligns with the body's requirements.

DOES HORMONE PELLET THERAPY WORK FOR MEN AND WOMEN?




BHRT is an effective treatment for both men and women. Hormone imbalances caused by declining hormone levels affect both, though often in different ways. Older men typically experience declines in testosterone levels, while aging women are influenced mainly by reductions in estrogen, especially as a result of menopause. BHRT relies on a personal approach to deliver the hormones needed according to each patient’s unique hormone levels.

How Long Before I See Results?




Each hormone replacement therapy (HRT) patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Most HRT patients in Sandpoint report some symptom resolution in as little as four weeks, but full optimization may take up to six months. Your bioidentical hormone therapy journey will be customized to fit your specific needs. It takes more than a few weeks for your hormone levels to get out of balance, so you can appreciate the fact that it may take a little time to get your hormones back to an optimal level.
