The glands in your body produce hormones to carry out a variety of essential functions. Hormones are chemical messengers derived from proteins, amino acids, and cholesterol. They are critical for day-to-day energy and for your metabolism to function normally.

Dr. Gaskill recommends pellet therapy to optimize your hormone levels. She inserts the tiny pellets directly under your skin in a quick in-office procedure. There is no downtime afterwards.
The pellets gradually release doses of bioidentical estrogen or testosterone into your bloodstream. The hormones are plant-based and molecularly similar to the natural hormones your body makes.
You typically have pellets inserted 2-4 times a year to keep your hormone levels balanced.
