Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment aimed at alleviating symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances or declines in hormone production, notably during menopause or andropause. HRT works by introducing hormones into the body, typically estrogen and progesterone for women and testosterone for men, to restore hormonal levels and stabilize bodily functions. The therapy can significantly improve quality of life by reducing menopausal symptoms, protecting against bone loss, and lowering risks of certain chronic conditions.

For men and women, whether you are deficient in hormones or not.

Bioidentical hormone replacement (BHRT) pellets contain testosterone and/or estrogen. They are made from plants. They are implanted just under the skin into the fatty tissue of the buttocks. Pellets are about the size of a grain of rice when cooked. The body absorbs these based on cardiac out put. The more active a person is, the quicker they will absorb.  

·      Men last 4-6 months.

·      Women last 3-4 months.

·      Dosing is based on weight.

·      Symptoms will start to improve in as little as 2-4 weeks.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy offers numerous benefits, particularly for individuals experiencing the effects of hormonal imbalances. For women going through menopause, HRT has been shown to effectively reduce discomforting symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal discomfort. In men, testosterone replacement can enhance energy levels, improve libido, and increase muscle strength. Additionally, HRT contributes to bone health, potentially preventing osteoporosis and related fractures.
