Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy for Women – Causes, Symptoms, Natural Treatments & Integrative Solutions

Why Hormonal Imbalance Deserves a Functional Medicine Solution

Hormones regulate everything from your energy and weight to mood, libido, and brain function. Yet most women facing menopause, fatigue, or PMS are given a one-size-fits-all patch or pill. At Patients Medical in New York City, we use Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) via pellets to restore hormonal balance with precision. Our approach supports you naturally—by testing first, treating gently, and personalizing care throughout your journey.

What Are Bioidentical Hormone Pellets?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plants and chemically match the hormones your body naturally makes. In pellet therapy, small hormone pellets (testosterone or estrogen) are inserted under the skin and release hormones continuously over 3–6 months. Unlike pills or patches, pellets provide steady dosing, reducing mood swings, energy crashes, or forgotten doses—especially beneficial for women in perimenopause, menopause, or post-hysterectomy stages.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

If you’re dealing with the following symptoms, you may benefit from BHRT:

Root Causes: Why Your Hormones Are Out of Balance

Functional medicine digs deeper than symptom management. We identify why your hormone pathways are out of sync. Common root causes include:

Root-Causes-Harmonal-Imbalance

Functional Diagnostic Testing We Use

Salivary or DUTCH hormone testing (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol)

Blood hormone panels (TSH, FSH, LH, estrogen, free & total testosterone)

Thyroid panel with antibodies

Nutrient testing (B12, folate, magnesium, zinc)

Liver detox markers

Inflammatory and metabolic markers

Toxin load (heavy metals, plastics)

Genetic markers and MTHFR status

Integrative Treatments for Hormonal Imbalance

Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Insertion

Pellet therapy involves placing custom-compounded hormones (like estrogen or testosterone) under the skin in a quick in-office procedure. Once inserted, the pellets release hormones consistently over several months, mimicking your body’s natural rhythm. This eliminates hormone fluctuations, supports mood stability, and reduces symptoms like fatigue, night sweats, and low libido—all without the hassle of daily creams or pills.

Hormone-Balancing-Plans

Personalized Hormone Balancing Plans

No two women have the same hormone profile. We design treatment plans that may include BHRT pellets, herbal adaptogens, thyroid optimization, and detox support. Your program is guided by lab results and adjusted over time to keep your hormones in balance. This custom approach addresses estrogen dominance, progesterone deficiency, and testosterone decline—helping restore energy, confidence, and cycle control.

IV Nutrient Therapy for Hormonal Health

We offer IV nutrient infusions to correct deficiencies that impair hormone production and detoxification. Common blends include B-complex for energy, magnesium for stress relief, and glutathione for estrogen clearance. These nutrients support hormone metabolism in the liver, reduce PMS severity, and combat adrenal fatigue—making pellet therapy even more effective when combined with nutrient optimization.

Adrenal & Thyroid Support

Cortisol and thyroid hormones must be in harmony for BHRT to work properly. We assess adrenal fatigue, cortisol rhythm, and thyroid function, then support them with adaptogens, glandular extracts, or bioidentical thyroid as needed. Balancing these systems helps reduce fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and weight gain—common symptoms in women with midlife hormone imbalance.

Liver & Estrogen Detox Support

If your liver isn’t clearing hormones well, you may experience estrogen dominance—even with “normal” levels. We support Phase 1 & 2 liver detox using sulforaphane, DIM, milk thistle, and methylated B vitamins. This reduces side effects like bloating or breast tenderness and helps you process hormones efficiently for better balance and mood stability.

Lifestyle Coaching

Lifestyle & Mind-Body Coaching

Hormonal health thrives on lifestyle. We guide you through stress reduction techniques, movement strategies, and sleep support to enhance hormone function naturally. Meditation, acupuncture, strength training, and yoga can boost endorphins, reduce cortisol, and improve insulin sensitivity—all of which amplify the effectiveness of BHRT and improve your long-term well-being.

Real Case Study: Sarah’s Hormone Comeback

Sarah, 48, came in with fatigue, irritability, poor libido, and disrupted sleep. Labs showed low estrogen, low testosterone, and high cortisol. We inserted estrogen/testosterone pellets, supported her adrenals with ashwagandha, and added IV magnesium and B vitamins. Within 6 weeks, Sarah reported better sleep, renewed sex drive, and stabilized mood. After 3 months, she felt like “herself” again—naturally.
