Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
One of the most superior ways to deliver sex hormones into the body is with Hormone Pellet Therapy. Small rice-sized Hormone Pellets are easily and painlessly placed under the skin in a simple in-office procedure.
What Are the Benefits and Advantages of Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Our therapy can help with many symptoms associated with menopause, perimenopause, low testosterone, and aging. With Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy, the relief of symptoms can be extremely profound because of the quick and constant hormone delivery the body experiences. We find that most often, patients have experienced the poor results associated with creams, gels, patches and oral hormones, with little relief. Hormone Pellet Therapy often rapidly improves and changes that.
Our Therapy Is Vastly Different and Superior to Other “Pellet Practices”
Often time, other “pellet practices” use pellets in assembly line fashion to treat sex hormone deficiencies without considering a comprehensive and global view of ALL the hormone systems. These may include: optimal thyroid balancing, adrenal health and the hormonal effects of the stress response, insulin and blood sugar control and weight management, and the powerfully effective Human Growth Hormone [HGH] for anti-aging. Our Physicians consider how all of your various hormones interact and influence the other, leading to the best outcomes and results for Hormone Pellet Therapy.
Experience and Expertise Really Do Matter
This is important. Our Founder, Dr. John Robinson NMD, pioneered the use of Hormone Pellet Therapy since 2006 and has had extensive training during medical school, interning with the late Gino Tutera, MD, FACOG, a past clinical leader in Hormone Pellet Therapy, ultimately working by his side for nine years. Dr. Robinson has treated thousands of patients with this therapy and believes it to be a superior way to deliver sex hormones for men and women. Our Founder collaborates with our Medical Directors to teach and train our physicians in the best and most advanced practices in BHRT.
Experience and Expertise Really Do Matter
It just takes only 5 minutes and you are off to feeling better! It’s a simple painless minor surgery procedure. A small incision is made in an area near your hip after being anesthetized. Then a small instrument called a trochar is used to painlessly place the pellets. The incision is closed with steri-strips. working by his side for nine years.

How Does the Body Use the Pellets Once They Are Placed?
The pellets will slowly dissolve based on cardiovascular demand (blood flow) as they quickly become surrounded by blood vessels. Your body will gradually receive hormones as blood flows across the pellets. As you exercise or if there is more stress to the system, the body will naturally deliver more hormones to meet the demand, as determined by blood flow.
Does the Body Just “Use the Pellets as It Needs It”?
It is very important to have an experienced physician ensure and customize the proper DOSE for your unique situation. Our physicians will consider multiple factors, including all other hormones, which are so important. With the correct dose, your body will use the pellets as it needs it until the pellets gradually dissolve. Once pellets are placed, the body will use it based on the flow of blood, and this generally is a very good thing. However, if the DOSE is either too much or too little, then this concept quickly breaks down. The body could still get too much or too little based on dosing. Many “pellet practices” oversimplify or overlook this by not doing a complete work up and accounting for custom dosing.
Do the Pellets Last a Long Time?
Pellets usually will last between 3 to 6 months. Everyone is different. The timeframe is very individualized and is based on personal metabolic rate, exercise frequency, and stress. For men, the average time frame is about 5 months as the pellets eventually and completely dissolve under the skin.
What About Possible Side Effects to Pellet Hormone Therapy?
Our physicians will be very up front about the risks associated with Hormone Pellet Therapy – it’s a huge red flag when “pellet practices” are not clear about the possibility of side effects. Any type of hormone therapy or medical procedure has the possibility of side effects. With Hormone Pellets, pain and irritation at the insertion site is possible, including the very rare possibility of infection.
