Pellet therapy is a treatment method that utilizes hormones derived from natural plant sources to mimic the body's natural hormonal levels. These tiny pellets, smaller than a grain of rice, are inserted into the fatty tissue beneath the skin. Once in place, they function similarly to an ovary or testicle, steadily releasing small and physiologically balanced doses of hormones. This approach ensures that the therapy provides optimal hormone levels for effective treatment.

Whether you are male or female, hormones play a significant role in various functions within our bodies. You might be experiencing persistent symptoms without realizing that they could be linked to an imbalance in hormone levels.

The following signs could indicate that your hormone levels are off-balance:

- Decreased libido

- Fatigue

Hormonal Changes and Weight Gain in Menopausal Women

Research indicates that peri- and postmenopausal women experience higher obesity rates than men of the same age, largely due to hormonal changes. Imbalances, such as decreased levels of estrogen and testosterone, can make losing weight—especially around the abdomen—much more challenging. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be an effective solution.

How Hormones Affect Weight:

- Estrogen & Insulin: Low estrogen levels can lead to insulin resistance, causing the body to store fat instead of burning it.

- Testosterone: Reduced testosterone can result in increased fat storage and sugar cravings.

- Progesterone: Imbalances may cause fluid retention and bloating.

- Cortisol: High cortisol levels from stress can increase appetite and trigger cravings for sugary, salty, or fatty foods.
