Menopause is the most common time for women to seek hormone therapy. As you approach menopause, your body may produce less estrogen. This can lead to hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. While these changes are natural, they can be disruptive to your life. Hormone therapy can alleviate these symptoms and make menopause a more manageable experience.
Aging, medications, stress, and lifestyle choices can also impact your hormone levels. Birth control pills, for example, can cause a decline in estrogen levels. While not all stress is bad, chronic stress can lead to an imbalance of the hormones cortisol. These imbalances can cause various symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, and anxiety.
Hormone therapy can reverse the effects of hormone imbalance and help you feel like yourself again. Whether taking supplemental hormones, adjusting existing medications, or making lifestyle changes, we offer a dynamic and holistic approach to hormone optimization. Our healthcare professionals give you the tools and means to reverse your biological clock and feel like your younger self again.
Your hormone therapy journey starts with a thorough phone consultation. Our medical providers ask direct and specific questions about your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and diet. You can expect brutal honesty during the consultation as our healthcare professionals understand the underlying factors responsible for your symptoms. After a thorough consultation, our medical providers recommend a series of blood tests.
Bloodwork allows us to understand the underlying systemic issues that may negatively impact your health and wellness. After identifying the root cause of your hormone imbalance, we curate personalized treatment plans, which involve selecting the appropriate hormones, dosage, and administration technique for you.
Yunique Medical offers personalized hormone therapy using subcutaneous pellets. Hormone pellet therapy is a method of delivering hormones through tiny pellets that are inserted just under the skin. This type of therapy differs from traditional hormone therapy, which delivers hormones through pills, patches, gels, or creams.
Hormone pellet therapy provides a more consistent level of hormones in the body. This is because the pellets release small, steady doses of hormones over a period of time. This is in contrast to the pill form of hormone therapy, which can cause fluctuations in hormone levels. That’s why hormone pellet therapy offers superior results with minimal side effects.
Bioidentical hormone pellets are made from plant-derived materials and are structurally identical to the hormones that your body produces. This means that your body can more easily metabolize and use these hormones, as opposed to traditional hormone therapy options.

Weight gain can occur due to hormonal changes, but hormone pellets themselves typically do not directly cause it. In fact, hormone optimization may assist in weight management by restoring balance. However, individual responses vary, and lifestyle factors like diet and exercise play a role in weight gain, with or without hormone pellets.
Fatigue can be a symptom of hormonal imbalance, which hormone pellets aim to address. Some individuals may initially experience fatigue as their bodies adjust to new hormone levels. However, once hormone levels stabilize, many report increased energy and reduced fatigue.
Hormone pellet insertion is typically a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. While discomfort during insertion is possible, most patients generally report minimal pain. After the procedure, some may experience mild soreness or bruising at the insertion site, which usually resolves within a few hours or days.
The process of hormone pellet insertion is relatively quick, typically lasting around 15 to 30 minutes. After the insertion site is numbed with local anesthesia, the pellets are inserted just beneath the skin. The procedure is performed in-office, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly afterward with minimal disruption.
Hormone levels can fluctuate throughout a woman’s life. Generally, it’s advisable for women to consider hormone testing if they experience symptoms like irregular periods, mood swings, or decreased libido, regardless of age. Additionally, routine hormone screening may be recommended during menopause or perimenopause, typically starting around age 40 to 50.
Female hormone therapy aims to restore hormonal balance, which can positively impact energy levels. Many individuals report increased energy and improved vitality with hormone optimization. By addressing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue and lethargy, hormone therapy can help individuals feel more energized.
While HRT is not specifically designed for weight loss, it can indirectly assist with weight control by addressing hormonal imbalances that contribute to weight gain or hinder weight loss. Our experts customize the hormone treatment according to your individual needs, promoting safe and effective weight loss.
HRT can indirectly aid in reducing belly fat by regulating hormones and addressing underlying hormonal changes that contribute to increased abdominal fat storage.
HRT should not be relied upon as the sole method for weight loss. To achieve long-term weight control, HRT should be complemented by a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Temporary weight changes due to fluid retention or bloating are possible side effects of HRT. It is important to remember that individual responses to HRT may vary.
HRT is not recommended for individuals seeking weight loss without hormone-related issues or medical reasons. To ensure proper and safe usage, it should only be undertaken with the guidance and supervision of our experts.
Weight loss achieved through HRT offers multiple benefits, including hormonal balance, improved metabolism, increased energy, enhanced body composition, and overall health and well-being. HRT may also help manage health conditions such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk factors.
HRT typically involves replacing or supplementing hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The specific hormones used will be determined based on your unique requirements, medical history, and treatment goals.
HRT can facilitate weight loss through various mechanisms. Some individuals may experience gradual weight loss over a few months, while others may see significant changes within a year. However, it is important to maintain a strict and healthy diet, along with an exercise plan, during this period for optimal results.
By rebalancing hormones and addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to cravings and emotional eating, HRT may help decrease these behaviors and promote better control over food choices.
While there are no specific dietary rules for individuals on HRT, it is generally recommended to maintain a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains to support overall health and weight management.
