What Are Hormone Pellets?
Hormone pellets are tiny, rice-sized implants made of bioidentical hormones – either estrogen, testosterone, or both. Because these hormones are chemically identical to the ones naturally produced by your body, they work seamlessly with your system.
Unlike pills, creams, or patches that cause daily fluctuations, pellets release hormones slowly and consistently over several months. That means no roller-coaster side effects, no missed doses, and no need to remember to reapply. Just steady support to keep you feeling your best.
At Harmony HealthSpan, we use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) pellets as part of a personalized plan for men and women experiencing fatigue, mood changes, weight shifts, and other signs of imbalance.
Symptoms to Consider Hormone Pellet Therapy
For women, especially during perimenopause and menopause, hormonal imbalance can cause a range of disruptive symptoms, including:
- Hot flashes or night sweats that disrupt your sleep
- Persistent fatigue and a lack of motivation or drive
- Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or brain fog
- Weight gain, particularly around the midsection
- Vaginal dryness, discomfort during intimacy, or low libido
- Constant low energy or feeling drained, even after a full night’s sleep
- Reduced muscle strength, endurance, and slower recovery from exercise
- Difficulty focusing, mental sluggishness, or a decline in motivation
- Low libido or concerns about sexual performance
- Irritability, mood changes, or a diminished sense of well-being
These symptoms are clear indicators that your body may be out of balance. Our advanced hormone testing goes beyond standard lab values to identify the root causes of your symptoms. This approach allows us to create a personalized pellet therapy plan designed to help you feel steady, energized, and like yourself again.

Our Unique & Tailored Approach to Hormone Pellet Therapy
1. Deep-Dive Consultation & Advanced Hormone Testing
2. Crafting Your Personalized Hormone Pellet Plan
3. Simple In-Office Insertion
The pellet insertion is a quick and comfortable procedure performed in our Boise office. After numbing the area (typically near your hip), a tiny incision is made to place the pellet under your skin. The process takes only minutes, with most patients reporting it as nearly painless.
4. Steady, Long-Lasting Results
Over the next 3 to 6 months, the pellet steadily releases a consistent stream of hormones. No peaks and valleys, no hassle – just stable support that helps you feel like yourself again.
5. Continuous Care & Optimization
Your care continues long after your initial pellet insertion. We schedule regular follow-ups to monitor your symptoms and perform updated lab work. This allows us to track your progress and fine-tune your treatment over time, ensuring you continue to feel your absolute best.

FAQs
Pros: Provides a steady, consistent hormone dose without daily fluctuations; offers long-lasting effects (3-6 months); eliminates the need for daily medication; highly effective for many symptoms.
Cons: Requires an in-office procedure for insertion; less flexibility to adjust dosage between insertions compared to daily creams or pills.
It is extremely rare for a pellet to come out of the insertion site. If you notice any unusual pain, significant swelling, or believe the pellet is no longer in place, please contact our office immediately so our providers can examine the area.
