HRT for women and men
Is it your hormones?
The signs are easy to write off as stress or age. If several of these sound familiar, a hormone evaluation is a good place to start. For women, many of these signs overlap with thyroid problems, so our guide to menopause or thyroid symptoms explains how to tell them apart and why we check thyroid labs first. If you suspect your estrogen is dropping, our guide to the symptoms of low estrogen covers the signs, the labs Dee Wise, PA, orders and what to track before your visit. Fatigue and hair shedding can also come from low iron, and our guide to iron bisglycinate explains why a blood test should come before any iron supplement.

Questions
Hormone therapy FAQs
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones with the same molecular structure as the ones your body makes, such as estradiol and testosterone. The goal is to restore levels that have dropped with age, menopause or other causes, guided by your symptoms and lab results. Our guide to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy explains FDA-approved and compounded options, delivery methods and risks in more detail.
What are EvexiPEL pellets?
EvexiPEL pellets are small bioidentical hormone pellets placed under the skin, usually near the hip, during a quick office visit. They release hormone steadily for several months. elev8HRT is a certified EvexiPEL provider.
How long do hormone pellets last?
Many patients need a new pellet every three to six months. Timing depends on the hormone, your dose and how quickly your body uses it. Follow-up labs guide when your next visit should be. Our guide to how long do hormone pellets last walks through the timeline for women and men and the signs a pellet is wearing off.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
Hormone therapy has benefits and risks that depend on your age, health history and the type of hormone used, and it is not right for everyone. Pellets are compounded medications, which Dee will discuss with you. Dee reviews your history and labs before recommending any treatment and monitors you throughout.
What are the side effects of hormone replacement therapy?
Side effects depend on the hormone and the dose. Women may notice breast tenderness, bloating, headaches or spotting, especially early on. Testosterone can cause acne, fluid retention and a rise in red blood cell counts. Pellet patients may have soreness or bruising where the pellet was placed. Most side effects improve as your dose is fine-tuned with follow-up labs.
Who should not use hormone therapy?
Estrogen therapy is generally not recommended for women with a history of breast or uterine cancer, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, active liver disease or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Women who still have a uterus need progesterone with estrogen to protect the uterine lining. Testosterone therapy is not recommended for men with prostate cancer or those trying to conceive. Dee reviews your full history before recommending treatment.
Does hormone replacement therapy cause weight gain?
Studies have not shown that HRT itself causes weight gain. Midlife weight gain is common because of aging and falling hormone levels, and some patients notice mild fluid retention when they start. Balanced hormones may make it easier to sleep, exercise and stay on track.
Does HRT affect bone and heart health?
Estrogen therapy helps prevent bone loss and lowers the risk of osteoporosis fractures. Heart risk depends on age and timing. Women who start hormone therapy before age 60, or within about 10 years of menopause, generally have a more favorable risk profile than women who start later. Bone also needs vitamin D, which we review with your hormone labs, and our guide to vitamin ADK explains how D3 and K2 support bone alongside hormone therapy. If you are shopping for a vitamin ADK supplement, our label guide shows how Dee matches the D3 dose to your vitamin D blood level.
Do you offer hormone therapy for men?
Yes. We evaluate men for low testosterone and offer testosterone therapy, including pellet therapy, when it is appropriate.
