Over the past few months I have been helping many women get over the hurdles of why weight loss has been so hard for them even though they had a local TRT or Hormone clinic "monitoring their health". I found many clinics were quick to prescribe vs get the natural endogenous levels back up and also when prescriptions were filled many of these poor women were prescribed TRT pellets.⁣ What is a TRT pellet might you ask (see slide 1 and 6)? Hormone pellet therapy makes use of a small pellet inserted under the skin (See slide two). This pellet dissolves slowly delivering the dose over time. The pellets are inserted every 3-4 months.⁣ ⁣ So what's the problem⁣ Test is way too high as you can see (slides 2-5 keep in mind normal range is 15-70 ng/dl for women) which can cause.⁣ ✳️Citoral enlargement⁣ ✳️Facial changes⁣ ✳️Facial hair growth⁣ ✳️Voice Deepening⁣ ✳️Too high of test causes estradiol to crash (women don't aromatize like men so remember how you need estradiol for connective tissue growth and body fat mobilization).⁣ ⁣ Also keep in mind⁣ 💰Also keep in mind this is an expensive inpatient procedure to insert (300-400 per procedure)⁣ ⁣ 🏥Once the pellet is in they typically don't remove it so you are stuck with way too high of a dose of hormones for 3-4 months and all the side effects that come with it.⁣ ⁣ It's often misunderstood that too much of a good thing (test in this case) can be bad (beyond even the risk of virilization respectfully). There are many more optimal ways for hormonal optimization (and cost effective) options than HRT/TRT pellets. If you are currently on HRT and interested in change, send us a DM.⁣ #morethanjustmacros #hormones #hrt #trt
