Benefits of Hormone Therapy for Men
Hormones act as the body’s stimulators. They influence metabolism, body temperature, weight, and sexual function. In men, hormones are produced by the pituitary gland, pancreas, testes, and other parts of the endocrine system. As we age, we lose hormones—that’s a fact of life. However, doctors and scientists have been working to alleviate this loss for more than 100 years. Today may be the golden age of hormone therapy for men, as studies are showing significant benefits that include:
- Lowered risk of diabetes and heart disease
- Decrease in bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase in good cholesterol (HDL)
- Reduction in body mass index (BMI)
- Reduced Anxiety and depression
- Increased energy
- Increased lean muscle mass
- Increased sexual desire and performance
Why Pellets instead of my shots?
BioTE pellets are bio-identical, placed about 2 times a year and your hormone levels don’t fluctuate erratically like the other methods. Do you realize that shots are synthetic, increase your risk of heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism not to mention you require anywhere from 52 to 104 shots a year? The absorption of creams are highly variable and they are only effective for 4-6 hours of the day. Do you really want to put a cream on twice a day and have to watch out who is near you to avoid the dangerous transfer of hormones to people around you?
