Yup, it most likely has nothing to do with you and is more about your hormones, which can be treated with hormone pellet therapy.

Read on to learn more about the most common hurdles of imbalanced hormones and how hormone pellet therapy can help defeat the symptoms that are bringing you down.
First, What Exactly Do Hormones Control?
Hormones are chemical messengers present in all organs, tissues, and cells. They are important for controlling the metabolism of your body. When hormones get out of balance, it can lead to serious health problems.
Balanced hormones are key to keeping your overall body running optimally, not just your emotions and energy levels. When hormones function properly, they help fight viruses and bacteria and provide a more youthful appearance.
In fact, as people age, they tend to reach for anti-aging face creams and serums when they should be checking their hormones first to see better success with aging slower appearance-wise.
What Symptoms Does a Hormonal Imbalance Cause?
Women and men in Woodlands both experience a whole host of issues when they have a hormonal imbalance. Some of the common symptoms others deal with that you may also relate to:
-
Weight gain – Despite exercise and diet, the weight can pile on when hormones are unbalanced.
-
Night sweats – This can lead to poor quality of sleep, which can exacerbate your struggles.
-
Mood changes – Unsteady hormones have been shown to cause mood swings.

When hormones become unbalanced, it may lead to health complications such as obesity, infertility, and mood disorders.
The symptoms of unbalanced hormones are sometimes hard to spot due to their symptoms being similar to other common symptoms related to health.
For example, symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, depression, and anxiety can all be caused by not having balanced hormones, but depending on what doctor you go to, they can write this off as something else.
As a result, you need to assess whether or not your symptoms could be due to this issue. Depending on which doctor you see, you have to be your own advocate for specific health struggles.
The first thing you need to do, especially if you are nodding your head in agreement to any of the symptoms, you should get a test to check all of your hormones. It’s important to see what the root cause is to treat it effectively.
Why Balancing Estrogen is Not Enough to Feel Better for Women
When you go to the doctor and express your concerns and symptoms, they sometimes jump right to discussing adding an estrogen supplement. However, that is not helpful.
When talking about balancing hormones, most people often only think about the specific actions happening in estrogen and progesterone. However, four other hormones need to be addressed as well.
For example, testosterone needs to be monitored as it is an essential male hormone that has many benefits for both males & females. It’s also important to keep thyroid hormones balanced because they regulate our metabolism and blood pressure.
Why Hormone Pellets are Promising For Men and Women
Hormone pellet therapy is a viable treatment for hormone imbalance, osteoporosis, and other debilitating conditions. It’s not just an option for women in the post-menopausal stage of life. Men can also benefit from hormone pellet therapy, which is usually in the form of testosterone pellets.
The use of hormones in this way is becoming more popular for men because it addresses the hormonal changes that come with aging, like hair loss or diminished romance. This process works by placing tiny capsules under the skin in the fatty tissue.
The pellets slowly release hormones over time to optimize bodily functions. The pellets slowly release estrogen or testosterone into the bloodstream, which improves romance, mood, and energy levels and alleviates joint pain.
If you’ve heard of hormone replacement therapy, this technique is a little different but has the same concept; however, the difference is the purpose. For example, hormone pellets are typically used for patients who need more testosterone, and hormone replacement therapy in Woodlands is for patients who need progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.
How Fast Does Hormone Pellet Therapy Work?
Once the pellet is placed under the fatty tissue, a consistent dose of hormone goes to work in the bloodstream. Most patients claim they notice a visible change within 2-4 weeks. However, keep in mind everyone is different, and some people didn’t see changes until six weeks post-pellet placement.
