Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural, organic sources, like wild yams, cacti, or soy. These hormones closely mimic the ones your own body produces, making them more readily available and less likely to cause side effects than non-bioidentical hormones.

Paired for Optimal Outcomes
Hormone pellets are rice-sized implants that we place beneath your skin, usually in your hip or buttock, to steadily release hormones into your body. We create a custom dosage of estrogen or testosterone to bring your hormone levels back to a balanced state, which can address the root cause of mood swings, loss of libido, loss of energy, and many other concerns.
In Prosper, we don’t make a recommendation based on age, but rather on symptoms. Typically, men and women both experience a decline in their hormone levels as they age.
For women, this transitional life stage is called perimenopause (when estrogen levels start to decrease) and menopause (when the levels dramatically drop). Both perimenopause and menopause can cause night sweats, mood swings, hot flashes, trouble sleeping, and much more.
When we restore estrogen levels, we address hormone imbalance. While perimenopause and menopause typically start in your late 30s to mid 40s, it varies from each patient.
Men also experience a decline in hormone levels, specifically testosterone. This hormone gradually declines starting near age 40. With less testosterone, men experience a lack of energy, loss of libido, and sometimes weight gain.
The best age to start is simply when you begin feeling “off” and experiencing unexplained symptoms.
The time you stay on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) depends on your symptoms, hormone levels, medical history, and treatment goals. Some patients use BHRT for a few years, while others continue treatment longer under medical supervision.
You can stop BHRT at any time, but your symptoms may return once your hormone levels change. Our team can monitor your health and recommend lifestyle changes to help manage recurring symptoms if you choose to discontinue treatment.
