Hormone pellets, particularly those containing testosterone or a combination of hormones, may help some women with weight management, but they are not a guaranteed weight loss solution. As women age, particularly during and after menopause, hormonal imbalances often contribute to weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. Declining levels of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can lead to increased fat storage, reduced muscle mass, and a slower metabolism.
Hormone pellets are small, subdermal implants that slowly release hormones into the body over time, helping to restore hormonal balance. By stabilizing hormone levels, they can alleviate symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and decreased muscle mass, which may indirectly support weight loss. For example, increased energy and improved muscle tone can make it easier for women to exercise and maintain an active lifestyle, which is key to weight management.
Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine if hormone pellets are appropriate for weight management based on individual health needs.
