Hormones are essential because they regulate nearly every function in the body, including metabolism, growth, repair, mood, reproduction, and overall homeostasis (balance and wellbeing).
When hormone production levels decline in men and women as we age, unwanted symptoms can occur such as:
Have you ever been told “your levels are normal – those symptoms are just part of getting older”? Symptoms of hormone imbalance are often overlooked unless your provider is a hormone specialist. Call our office to schedule a free in office or online consultation.
BHRT restores natural hormone balance using plant-derived hormones that are molecularly identical to those your body makes. It helps relieve symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and low libido caused by hormonal decline.
Tiny pellets, about the size of a grain of rice, are placed under the skin and slowly release hormones as your body needs them. This keeps hormone levels consistent for 3–6 months, eliminating the daily need for creams, pills, or injections.
| Method | How It Works | Frequency | Benefits | Drawbacks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pellet Therapy (BHRT) | Pellets inserted under skin release hormones steadily. | Every 3–6 months | Consistent levels, long-lasting, customized dosing. | Requires a brief in-office insertion. |
| Creams / Gels | Applied to skin; hormones absorbed transdermally. | Daily | Easy home use. | May rub off on others, uneven absorption. |
| Pills / Oral Tablets | Swallowed and processed through the liver. | Daily | Simple dosing. | Less stable levels, potential liver impact. |
| Injections | Delivered via syringe into muscle or fat. | Every 1–2 weeks | Quick results, adjustable. | Can cause fluctuating hormone levels. |
| Patches | Hormones absorbed from adhesive patch. | Changed every few days | Steady delivery, needle-free. | Possible skin irritation, may fall off. |
Anyone experiencing fatigue, mood changes, sleep disturbances, or hot flashes may benefit. A blood test determines your hormone levels and helps your provider design a customized plan.
Many patients experience improved energy and mood within 1–2 weeks, with optimal results after the first full treatment cycle as hormone levels stabilize.
Pellets typically last between 3–6 months, depending on metabolism, body composition, and lifestyle.
When prescribed and monitored by a licensed healthcare provider, BHRT is considered safe and effective. The hormones used are structurally identical to those your body naturally produces.
Temporary redness, soreness, or swelling may occur at the insertion site. Your provider monitors your hormone levels regularly to ensure the safest possible dosing.
Most insurance policies do not directly cover BHRT treatment, but many cover prerequisite tests such as blood work, mammograms, or Pap smears. UCO Medical Clinic accepts Aetna, Cigna, Florida Blue, United Healthcare, Medicare, and more.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of delivering hormones to men and women to achieve an optimum hormone state.
Hormone pellets, about the size of a grain of rice, are inserted under the skin where they release a continuous supply of hormones using only what’s needed by the body.
“Bioidentical” hormones are molecularly identical to those naturally produced by the body. Hormone pellet therapy can be a more efficient method of hormone absorption and provides consistent levels over a longer period of time—replacing frequent injections, gels or creams. A single treatment can last from 3 to 6 months.
As hormone levels are adjusted and restored to optimal levels, men and women report relief from symptoms associated with aging including:
Discuss your symptoms with your certified hormone provider. If you’re a BJRT candidate, a simple blood test will provide information about your hormone levels.
If hormone imbalance is identified, your provider may discuss ways to optimize your hormone levels, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
Hormone “pellets’ are placed under the skin and begin to dynamically send hormones to the body as needed. Patients may experience symptom relief in as little as one week. Pellets typically last between 3 and 6 months, depending on daily activity level.
