With advanced testing techniques, and a custom-made treatment plan based on your lab values, lifestyle, symptoms, medical history, and how your life has changed directly since your symptoms began, Dr. Wharton will get you back on the path to vitality.
What Causes
Hormonal Imbalance?

Bioidentical Hormone
Pellet Therapy
The most impactful method to receive bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is via pellet therapy. Bioidentical hormone pellet therapy is made up of natural hormone pellets inserted into the soft fatty tissue under the skin by way of a minimally invasive, brief procedure completed in the office. Bioidentical hormone pellets are approximately the size of a tic-tac and constructed with bioidentical testosterone or estrogen, alongside a natural cholesterol binder. Hormone pellets are typically inserted just under the beltline in the upper buttocks. The pellets are compounded with a specific density and firmness, so they dissolve over a few months. As the bioidentical hormone pellets dissipate, hormones are absorbed into the body through a steady movement, in a way that closely imitates the own body’s release of hormones.
Other bioidentical hormone techniques like hormone creams, gels, patches, or pills, cannot compare to the ease and effectiveness of hormone pellet therapy for management of menopause symptoms, weight gain, low libido, fatigue, and many other symptoms triggered by hormonal imbalance. Although there are many intricacies in managing hormone therapy, pellet therapy is the cornerstone of Dr. Wharton’s Pittsburgh bioidentical hormone replacement therapy practice.
Increased hormone levels can:
- Improve bone density*
- Build lean muscle mass*
- Lose weight*
- Jump-start your sex drive*
- Reduce hot flashes and night sweats*
- Improve memory and cognitive function*
Since 1938, bioidentical hormone pellets have been utilized as a convenient, and reliable form of hormone replacement. Hormone pellets provide relief of symptoms for 3 to 4 months in women and men.
