Hormones are responsible for most of your bodily functions including immune function, metabolism, energy, mood, sleep, sex drive and so much more. As women age, their hormones change and fluctuate which may cause hormone imbalances and unwanted symptoms, typically in peri-menopause and menopause. These symptoms can be very uncomfortable for most women and lead to undesirable changes in the body such as;

​

• vaginal dryness

• vaginal atrophy (wasting away)

• low libido and sex drive

• hot flashes

• night sweats

• weight gain

• osteoporosis

• dry skin

• insomnia

• hair loss

• mood changes

• memory loss

Hormone replacement therapy can help!

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) are hormone derived from plants that are chemically identical to the hormones your own body makes, which can be used to restore hormones to their optimal levels. 

There are many forms of BHRT that can be used depending on your preference and lifestyle. Options are creams, lozenges, capsules, and hormone pellet therapy which is the mainstay of BHRT today. 

​

What is hormone pellet therapy?

Hormone pellet therapy is when your provider implants small rice-sized pellets into the subcutaneous fat on the buttocks, where they gradually dissolve over the next three to six months. There is no downtime after the procedure and pellet therapy allows you to go about your life without worrying about how much cream to apply or what time to take your lozenge. 

What makes pellet therapy unique is that a Harmony Health Studio provider can create a unique blend of hormones to suit your unique needs and address your symptoms with safe, effective treatment.

Once the pellets dissolve, you can return to Harmony HealthSpan for a new evaluation to make any necessary changes to your personalized pellet dose and treatment plan if needed. 

​

If you are struggling with the effects of hormone imbalance, there is a safe and effective treatment that can alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life. If you feel BHRT is right for you, or you would like to know more about it, call Harmony HealthSpan or request an appointment with a provider today.
