Hormone deficiency in men can lead to a myriad of symptoms including:

• Lack of energy and fatigue
• Reduced sexual desire and performance
• Hot flashes and vaginal dryness in female
• Inability to maintain muscle mass
• Trouble sleeping at night
• Reduced mental focus and memory
• Unstable blood sugar level
• Brain fog, anxiety, and mood swings
• Difficulty losing weight
• Muscle and joint pain

At Biohackr Health, we use bioidentical hormone pellets that will deliver hormones consistently. As we age, our bodies naturally start to reduce the amount of hormones like testosterone and estrogen they produce. Hormones such as these are incredibly important to how many areas of your body function –such as your brain, heart, bones, reproductive organs, and more. When these hormones are out of balance, people can experience a number of different symptoms. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of restoring the balance of your hormones and aiming to relieve these symptoms, using compounded hormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. That way, your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.

Bioidentical hormones come in pellets that are roughly the size of a single grain of rice. There are two major pellets: estrogen pellets and testosterone pellets. After we confirm individualized dosing with you, pellets are inserted subcutaneously in the upper buttock during the office visit and the whole procedure takes about 15-45 minutes. Generally, the therapy begins to take effect within 4-6 weeks after insertion. Since pellets are bioidentical to hormones like our body naturally produces, pellets dissolve completely over a few months and leave nothing behind. 

Both men and women.

• Increase your libido
• Boost your energy
• Improve erectile function for men
• Improve vaginal dryness in women
• Normalize sleep cycles
• Weight management
• Increase exercise endurance
• Minimize hot flashes in women
• Mental clarity
• Decrease mood swings

For men, pellets last up to  5-6 months, depending on weight, absorption rate, and the amount of deficiency. For women, pellets last up to 3-4 months, depending on weight, absorption rate, and the amount of deficiency. 

Anyone who experiences hormone imbalance is a good candidate. However, most people seek this therapy when they experience symptoms of decreased hormone due to aging or menopause. Also, pellets may help reduce symptoms in women with the history of hysterectomy, metabolic syndrome, metabolic syndrome, and PCOS.

• Hormones replacement therapy needs to have relatively constant blood levels without daily spikes. Only pellets can provide a steady state of hormones. There is no “roller coaster” effect with pellets.
• Unlike creams, patches, or shots, which need frequent dosing, pellets only need 2-4 insertions per year.
• Unlike oral therapy, there is NO increase in thrombotic activity with pellet therapy. 
• Predictable absorption rate
• Convenient as it only requires a few insertions per year.
• Can use indefinitely.
