Hormone balance plays a crucial role in overall health, influencing everything from mood and metabolism to sexual function and energy levels. As people age, hormone production—particularly estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—naturally declines, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, decreased libido, and poor sleep. One treatment option that has gained popularity in recent years is hormone pellet therapy, a bioidentical hormone replacement method designed to restore hormonal balance in a steady, natural way.
What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy involves the use of small, rice-sized pellets containing bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the human body. These pellets are usually composed of estradiol (a form of estrogen) or testosterone, and occasionally progesterone. They are inserted just beneath the skin—typically in the hip or buttocks area—during a quick, in-office procedure under local anesthesia.
