Hormone Pellet Therapy
Back to Your Life Style

Hormone balance is essential for energy, mood, metabolism, sexual health, and overall well-being. At Harmony HealthSpan, we offer advanced bioidentical hormone pellet therapy as one of several options for men and women seeking steady, long-lasting hormone support in Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and throughout the Treasure Valley.

​

What is Hormone Pellet Therapy?


Hormone pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement in which small, custom-compounded pellets, containing hormones like testosterone or estradiol, are inserted just under the skin, typically in the hip or buttock area. These pellets gradually release hormones into your bloodstream, providing consistent levels for months at a time.

​

Pellet therapy is one of the most physiological ways to deliver hormones, closely mimicking how the body naturally regulates hormone release. Your body draws on the pellet as needed – releasing more during times of stress or activity, and less when at rest.

​

Who is Hormone Pellet Therapy For?


Hormone pellet therapy is an excellent option for:

​

  • Men with clinically low testosterone (hypogonadism) seeking a convenient, low-maintenance alternative to injections or gels.

  • Women experiencing hormone imbalance due to menopause, perimenopause, or other causes.

  • Individuals who prefer fewer applications or doctor visits—pellets are typically replaced every 3-6 months for women and every 5-6 months for men.

  • Patients looking for steady, consistent hormone levels without daily or weekly dosing.

​

Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy

 

  • Consistent Hormone Levels: Avoids the peaks and valleys of other delivery methods.

  • Convenience: No daily pills, creams, or weekly injections.

  • Long-Lasting: Each insertion provides months of hormone support.

  • Bioidentical & Personalized: Pellets are custom-compounded to match your body’s natural hormones and your unique needs.

  • Improved Symptoms: Many patients report better energy, mood, sexual function, muscle maintenance, and mental clarity.

​

Your provider will help you decide if pellets are the best fit, or if another hormone delivery method may be more appropriate for your health and longevity goals.

  • How do I know if I need TRT?
    If you experience persistent fatigue, low libido, ED, mood swings, or muscle loss, Low T might be the cause. A consultation and bloodwork at Harmony HealthSpan in Boise can confirm if TRT is appropriate.
  • Is TRT safe?
    Under medical supervision at Harmony HealthSpan, TRT is generally safe for men with diagnosed Low T. We use bioidentical hormones and conduct thorough evaluations and regular monitoring to minimize risks.
  • How soon will I notice results from TRT?
    Many men feel improvements in energy, mood, and libido within days to weeks. Muscle gain and fat loss often take several months with consistent therapy and lifestyle support.
  • Will I need TRT for life?
    TRT is often long-term for chronic hypogonadism, as natural production may not recover. If Low T is reversible, shorter-term therapy might be possible—discuss with your Boise provider.
  • What are common Low T symptoms in men?
    Symptoms include fatigue, low sex drive, ED, brain fog, muscle loss, weight gain, irritability, depression, and reduced motivation, often tied to aging or stress.
  • How is Low T diagnosed at Harmony HealthSpan?
    We combine symptom reviews with comprehensive blood tests, assessing total and free testosterone, other hormones, and health markers for an accurate diagnosis, focusing on optimal—not just "normal"—levels.
  • Are there side effects to TRT? How are they managed?
    Potential side effects (acne, fluid retention, increased red blood cell count, or fertility impacts) are minimal with bioidentical hormones. We manage them through careful dosing and regular monitoring. Fertility concerns are addressed upfront, as TRT isn't recommended for men planning children unless alternatives are explored.
  • Can I exercise while on TRT?
    Yes! TRT often boosts exercise performance and recovery. We encourage an active lifestyle in Boise to maximize therapy benefits.
  • Does insurance cover TRT in Boise?
    Coverage varies by plan and medical necessity criteria. Harmony HealthSpan does not accept insurance due to our focus on personalized care beyond standard guidelines, but we provide transparent pricing and payment options.
  • Can I switch TRT methods (e.g., injections to pellets)?
    Absolutely. If your needs or preferences change, discuss switching delivery methods with your Harmony HealthSpan provider for the best fit.
