If you’re a man over 40, chances are your testosterone levels are on the decline. You may feel like you’re not quite yourself anymore. Your sex drive may have waned, you may have less energy, and you may have noticed a decreased muscle mass. If any of these sound familiar, you’re a candidate for hormone therapy.
But hormone therapy isn’t only restricted to men over 40. You can suffer from the signs and symptoms of low testosterone at any age because of other underlying factors, like stress, medical conditions, lifestyle factors, and more. If your testosterone levels are waning, you may feel like a shell of your former self, incapable of living life to the fullest.
However, hormone therapy can help you feel like your younger self again. Hormone therapy involves using subcutaneous pellets, injections, or other techniques to restore your body’s optimal testosterone levels, making you feel revitalized and youthful. Hormone therapy can increase muscle mass and strength, improve sexual function, give you more energy, and so much more.
While there are a number of hormone replacement therapies (HRT) available to help offset the effects of this decline, not all are created equal. Traditional hormone replacement therapies deliver synthetic hormones into the body that can do more harm than good over the long term.
Bioidentical hormone pellets are made from plant-based hormones that are identical to the hormones produced by the human body. This means that they are better able to be metabolized and used by the body, leading to fewer side effects.
Hormones are important chemical messengers that regulate many of the body’s processes, including metabolism, growth, and sexual development. Hormone replacement therapy can be performed using numerous techniques, such as topical creams, skin patches, tablets, injections, and pellets. But hormone pellet therapy is undoubtedly the most effective.
Hormone pellet therapy involves placing tiny pellets of hormone medication under the skin, where they release a slow, steady stream of hormones into the bloodstream over 3 to 6 months, in contrast to other HRT options, which are often taken daily. This keeps your hormone levels balanced, thus avoiding unwanted peaks and valleys in hormone levels. Hormone pellet therapy can address all the problems associated with low testosterone — optimal is the new normal.

Testosterone is a hormone primarily produced in the testicles for men and in smaller amounts in the ovaries for women. It plays a vital role in various bodily functions, such as muscle and bone development, facial and body hair growth, sex drive, and overall energy levels. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, and low levels can lead to various health issues, ranging from general fatigue to erectile dysfunction.
The following are some of the common signs and symptoms of low testosterone in men:
TRT aims to restore testosterone levels to a healthy range in individuals with low testosterone. It can be administered through various methods, including injections, gels, patches, and implants. Once absorbed by the body, your testosterone levels stabilize, leading to improved mood, energy levels, muscle mass, and sexual function. While testosterone replacement therapy comes in numerous forms, Yunique Medical offers bioidentical hormones in the form of pellet therapy, widely considered the most effective way to restore testosterone levels.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. Derived from plant sources, they are customized to match an individual’s unique hormonal needs. In contrast, synthetic hormones are chemically altered versions, not identical to natural hormones. Since bioidentical hormones resemble the molecular structure of natural hormones, they’re more readily absorbed by the body, leading to reduced side effects and greater effectiveness.
Yunique Medical prefers pellet therapy as the ideal form of administering bioidentical testosterone. During pellet therapy, small, rice-sized pellets containing bioidentical hormones are inserted just beneath the skin, typically in the hip or buttock area. The pellets gradually release hormones over several months, offering a consistent and steady hormone supply. This eliminates the need for daily applications or injections, making the treatment more convenient and reducing the symptoms of hormonal fluctuations.
Testosterone replacement therapy is safe when administered by reliable, experienced professionals. A comprehensive study involving over 5,000 middle-aged and older men with low testosterone levels and a heightened cardiovascular risk profile found that testosterone replacement therapy did not lead to a higher incidence of cardiac events or an increased risk of prostate cancer compared to a placebo. This study spanned an average treatment duration of 21.7 months with a follow-up period of 33.0 months. During this extensive observation period, no significant differences in major adverse cardiac events were observed. Therefore, the study concluded that testosterone replacement therapy was not associated with a greater cardiovascular risk.
