If you are considering hormone replacement therapy (HRT), it’s crucial to work with a qualified specialist who can help you make informed decisions about your health. HRT can provide many benefits, from reducing hot flashes to promoting bone health, but the hormone balance in your body is complex and requires an intricate understanding of various hormones’ interplay, which is where a specialist comes in. A qualified provider can determine your optimal hormone levels, prescribe the right dosage, and monitor your progress to ensure HRT is safe and effective for your unique needs. With their expertise and guidance, you can achieve a healthy hormone balance and experience the full spectrum of benefits HRT has to offer.

Pellets are small, surgically implanted capsules that release hormones gradually over time, avoiding any highs or lows associated with daily hormone replacement therapy.
Creams are topical applications that are absorbed through the skin, allowing for easy and convenient use to begin experiencing the benefits of HRT.
Oral HRT involves taking hormones in pill form, which are then absorbed through the digestive system.
The key distinction between synthetic and bioidentical hormones lies in their composition, as synthetic hormones are chemically altered to resemble the body’s natural hormones, while bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are structurally identical to those produced by the human body.
Derived from plant sources
Have a molecular structure identical to the hormones produced by the human body
Can be customized to match an individual's specific hormone needs
Lower risk of side effects
Chemically altered to resemble the body's natural hormones
Have a similar, but not identical structure, to hormones produced by the human body
Available in predetermined dosages
Higher risk of side effects
Hormone pellet insertion is a procedure used for hormone replacement therapy, which involves the insertion of small pellets under the skin to release consistent, small, physiologic doses of hormones providing optimal therapy.
The procedure is relatively quick, usually taking less than 30 minutes, and is performed in the clinic. The pellets slowly dissolve over time, usually over 3-6 months, and will need to be replaced for continued treatment.
Hormones themselves do not cause cancer, but certain types of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) have been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer. Research indicates that bioidentical HRT is cardiovascular protective and breast protective, superior to synthetic options.
