Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Address Imbalances at the Source
Take Back Your Life
Your hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems that exist in your body. They act as messengers, designed to interact with specific target cells and organs and provoke a change or result. As a result, hormone production changes, and hormonal imbalance can occur.
Unbalanced hormones can have a variety of side effects and symptoms. Immune function falters, putting you at risk for illness and disease. It thereby affects your heart, your metabolism, your joints, your brain, and your prostate health.
Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Physical, Mental & Emotional
If you are suffering from exhaustion, decreased sexual desire and/or performance, weight gain, sleep disturbances, or other symptoms, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be able to help you! The benefits of TRT include relief from your hormone imbalance symptoms and a restoration of your hormones to optimal levels. Some patients start to feel the benefits of testosterone therapy in as little as two to four weeks, however everyone is different and for some it may take a second pellet insertion to feel the full effect.

Pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that uses tiny pellets placed just under the skin to deliver a steady, consistent dose of hormones. This method helps restore balance to hormone levels and supports the body in returning to a more natural, healthy state. BHRT helps the body return to normal hormone balance and physiological state.
- Right kind of hormone (bioidentical)
- Right amounts (individualized dosing)
- Right delivery system (pellets)
- Natural, plant-derived compounds
- Same molecular structure as human hormones
- Lasts longer than other treatments, 4-6 months
- Most widely studied form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
- Provides steady stream of hormone(s) in your blood
- Individualized dosing
- Implanted under the skin
- You don’t even know it’s there!
