What is hormone pellet therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy is one of the treatments used for hormone imbalances. Hormone pellets were developed in the 1930s but didn’t become popular until the mid-1940s. Pellets are the longest studied form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). At Groov, we offer both estradiol and testosterone pellets. With pellet therapy a man or woman will benefit from effective and steady amounts of hormones, unlike other HRT. With pellets, a person doesn’t experience the highs and lows and inconsistency from other testosterone and estradiol therapy. The pellets are released into your bloodstream based on cardiac output, meaning the more active you are the more the hormone is released. Pellet therapy is also preferred over other methods because of the convenience of only visiting your provider 3-4 times per year for women and 2-3 times per year for men. There is no forgetting medicines, creams, or inconveniences while traveling.
During a quick office procedure, the pellet or pellets are inserted beneath the skin near the hip. During this procedure, the area is numbed, a small incision is made, and the pellet (around the size of a grain of rice) is inserted, a small bandage is placed. We advise no swimming, jacuzzi or soaking baths for a few days to allow the incision to heal.
Some people think pellet therapy is more expensive than other therapies, but if you break it down monthly, it is a great investment in your health and well-being. The choice to use pellet therapy allows people to feel confident, energetic, and more focused. If your body is telling you that “something is off” listen to it. If you are like many men and women in their 30s, 40s and above, and experiencing:
- Lack of motivation, more tired than usual
- Foggy thinking and insomnia
- Weight gain for no reason, especially that belly area
- Feeling anxious or depressed
- Wondering why sexual drive has tapered off
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, contact Groov Wellness, because you may be a good candidate for hormone pellet therapy.
