As we age, it’s no secret that many things begin to change. Hair starts to thin, wrinkles begin to form, energy for normal activities diminishes. While there are many factors that can contribute to these symptoms, one stands out among the rest: an imbalance in our hormones. Testosterone and estrogen play significant roles in the developing bodies of both men and women, but both of these hormones are just as important in our later years. When there’s an imbalance and your body is producing too little or too much of one of these hormones, your may begin to experience things you may have never experienced before.
Queue hormone pellet therapy, an proven treatment that has seen a consistent increase in popularity over the years. Natural, safe, and effective, hormone pellet therapy is a great treatment for hormonal imbalance, allowing you to feel like the person you’re meant to be regardless of your age.
Before we jump into hormone pellet therapy, it’s important to understand the role that hormones play in our bodies. Hormones act as messengers, they carry important and vital messages that your body needs to properly function. In fact, hormones help to regulate things such as hunger, blood pressure, sexual desire, and even the rhythm of your heart. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Your body produces hormones that are constantly circulating throughout your blood stream, delivering messages to tell your body how to react to things happening around you.
When these hormones aren’t balanced—either by having too much of a certain hormone or by not producing enough of another—problems can begin to pop up left and right. A person with a hormonal imbalance may experience such things as mood swings, extreme fatigue, irritability, memory loss, depression, and more. When our bodies can no longer maintain a proper hormone balance, we start to feel like a different person, one that we may not even recognize.
Hormone pellet therapy is a treatment to help maintain the hormonal balance that your body needs. Dating back to the 1930’s, hormone pellet therapy is a safe and effective treatment for individuals who experience hormonal imbalance. The pellets release natural bio-identical estrogen and testosterone derived from natural plant sources to aid in balancing the body’s normal hormone levels.
The procedure is relatively simple. Pellets smaller than a grain of rice, made entirely of natural sources of hormones are implanted beneath the fatty tissue under the skin. These implants closely mimic the function of hormonal release, meaning hormones are slowly released by the pellets into the blood stream to make up for the hormones that your body isn’t producing. For example, if your body is experiencing a lack of testosterone production (a common problem for men as they age), hormone pellets may be implanted underneath the skin to supplement testosterone in your body.
Hormone pellet therapy has significant advantages and benefits for both men and women. Because of its versatility, each treatment of hormone pellet therapy can be tailored specifically to the patient, providing the hormones that each patient needs.
Most commonly, women start hormone pellet therapy when they enter menopause, but it’s also quite common for women to use this therapy to adjust hormone levels for other reasons. For women, the symptoms of a hormone imbalance may include reduced energy, weight gain, and interruption of the menstrual cycle.
Once the hormone pellets are implanted and the correct balance of hormones is maintained, women may immediately experience fewer or complete relief of these symptoms. Women often report fewer mood swings, better sleep quality, increased libido, more accurate memory, weight loss, and more.
One of the common problems for men as they age is lower levels of testosterone. The body naturally produces less testosterone over time, and men often experience fatigue, reduced sexual desire, and weight gain as a result. Men may also experience depression and lack of emotional stability if their testosterone falls to very low levels.
For men, hormone pellet therapy is a great way to relieve and prevent these symptoms. After the pellets start to release testosterone into the bloodstream, men often report feelings of increased energy, better focus, and more stable emotions. Men may also experience weight loss as well as an easier time building muscle.
Furthermore, numerous studies also report that optimal testosterone levels in men can have preventative effects for many disease processes such as Alzheimer’s disease, prostate cancer, and more.
