What is Hormone Optimization Therapy?

Testosterone replacement therapy involves taking supplemental hormones to rebalance your natural testosterone levels.

Ethos Wellness Center offers testosterone replacement therapy for adult men and women who experience symptoms of low testosterone.

Dr. Palmeri customizes a therapy plan based on your existing health and the severity of your symptoms. He continues monitoring your progress with treatment to ensure you enjoy lasting symptom relief.

Am I a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy?

Testosterone is a male hormone that regulates a man’s sexual function, supports muscle mass, and contributes to male characteristics like facial hair. Women also produce testosterone hormones in small quantities to regulate their sex drive and bone mass.

Aging causes a decline in testosterone production. When your levels become unbalanced, you might experience persistent symptoms like:

Fatigue
Irritability
Low libido
Weight gain
Depression
Decreased mental focus

Dr. Palmeri completes a comprehensive health exam and requests bloodwork to analyze specific health biomarkers to confirm low testosterone. He also reviews your personal and family histories to determine if testosterone replacement therapy is a good option for you.

What is involved in Hormone Optimization Therapy?

Ethos Wellness Center offers two methods of testosterone supplementation for men and women, including:

Injections

Testosterone injections go into your soft tissues to restore balance in your testosterone levels.

Dr. Palmeri may recommend weekly or biweekly injections in the office. He can also teach you how to administer your injections at home and have injectable serums delivered directly to you.

Pellets

Testosterone pellets fit just under the surface of your skin and deliver a steady stream of hormones into your body. A pellet lasts for 3-4 months before you need a replacement.

Dr. Palmeri can insert your initial pellet during a simple, in-office procedure. He also offers removal procedures when you need a pellet replacement or wish to end your therapy.

You can expect to book follow-up appointments so Dr. Palmeri can monitor your progress. He requires routine blood work to measure hormone response and other biomarker levels. Body composition tracking and other feedback are also available to ensure hormone replacement therapy is working well for you.

Intravenous (IV) infusion services are also available to provide additional hormone balance support.
