SottoPelle Therapy in Arizona

Without hormone replacement therapy, menopause and andropause are inevitable in Arizona. As you age, your body generates lower and lower levels of important hormones. Without its formerly healthy levels of hormones, your body becomes more vulnerable to age related diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, cardiovascular disease and other debilitating ailments. Not to mention disturbing symptoms like hot flashes, memory lapses, sexual dysfunction, lack of sleep, depression, fatigue and so forth are also present. It makes you yearn for times past and we can give that feeling again with natural hormone replacement therapy in Arizona.

Your headaches are gone and so is your grumpy attitude. Everyone around you notices that you seem more positive, more like your old self. Our bio-identical hormone pellet therapy can return you to hormonal balance, well-being and the physiologic state of your thirties.

SottoPelle Pioneer

In 1992, Gino Tutera, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. founded Sottopelle based on his unique approach to hormone pellet in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. After many years of experience as a specialist in treating PMS, menopause and hormonal imbalance, he developed his highly effective treatment. This hormone therapy is based on giving the right kind of hormone (biologically identical), in the right amounts (based on proper testing and accurate analysis of the results), using the right delivery system (pellets). His efforts continue to change the lives of thousands of men and women across Arizona and the United States who suffers from hormone deficiencies.

Today, Dr. Tutera has more than a dozen years of documented positive research on hormone therapy and is recognized worldwide as a pioneer and leader in the field of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.

”I got involved in bio-identical hormone pellet therapy 25 years ago when I was an OB-GYN. I noticed that there were women whose pregnancies were ending in miscarriage that should not have. Since progesterone is the hormone that supports pregnancy, I started to measure the progesterone levels in pregnant women’s blood and found that a lot of them would exhibit progesterone deficiencies in their second month of pregnancy.

I was aware of biologically identical hormones and thought that I could use these to help save their pregnancies. I found a pharmacist to produce bio-identical progesterone and indeed did save many pregnancies.”

Bio-Identical Pellet Hormone Replacement Therapy in Arizona

Don’t let the words hormone replacement therapy scare you. This isn’t about synthetic pharmaceuticals or even natural hormones found in plants used in other forms of hormone therapy. This is about the hormones estrogen and testosterone that are 100 percent identical to those created by the human body. Yes, they are made from botanicals, but compounded to precisely match the molecular structure of human hormone for hormone replacement therapy.

For decades men and women have experienced the astounding benefits of this form of hormone replacement therapy in Arizona. In study after study, researchers have reported how the use of biologically identical estrogen and testosterone in bio-identical pellet hormone replacement therapy has positively impacted diseases such as osteoporosis, prostate cancer and HIV.

With so much negative research surrounding synthetic pharmaceutical hormones, doesn’t it make better sense to give your body hormones it recognizes and flourishes with? Of course it does. With Sottopelle hormone therapy in Arizona, you can achieve the healthy balance of estrogen and testosterone your body needs to maintain optimum health. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy using pellets replenishes what is lost in the aging process, by using the identical hormones your body created when you were healthy and in your prime.

And don’t be surprised if your symptoms disappear, with the fatigue fading away, your libido or sex drive improving and erectile dysfunction diminishing and with the hot flashes gone after your hormone replacement therapy in Arizona. You just won’t believe how great you will feel after using SottoPelle Therapy.

History and Research on Pellet Hormone Replacement Therapy

In 1935, hormone pellet therapy was created in Europe to help alleviate the problems women experienced due to hormone production cessation or menopause. This modality was then brought to the United States in 1939 by Dr. R. B. Greenblatt. He introduced it to the Menopausal Clinic, where it is used today more than half a century after its introduction. Since then, Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy in pellet form in Arizona has been positively researched and accepted as the most effective delivery system available for men and women suffering from the side effects of menopause or andropause (male equivalent of menopause). When the body is in need of estrogen or testosterone, these tiny implants, placed under the skin, are found to consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones providing optimal therapy. For decades, these positive research studies have been reported in respected medical journals around the world.

In addition, human identical hormones have long been preferred in Japan, France and other European countries. Many women and men in this country and others have now switched from synthetic to bio-identical hormone therapy.

Hormone Replacement Therapy in Arizona - Sottopelle Superior Hormone Therapy

The term “bio-identical structure” means that pellets are nothing like the synthetic hormones manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. Pellets are both natural and biologically identical to the estrogen and testosterone your body once produced in correct amounts.

Hormone pellets are compounded according to the highest industry standards using the finest botanical ingredients available. Derived from soy and other natural plant-based substances, the bio-identical hormones are hand-formulated into pellets at one of the foremost compounding pharmacies in the U.S. This ensures the superior quality and efficacy of our pellets for use in natural hormone replacement therapy. No horse urine. No fillers. Just pure, natural, biologically identical hormones plain and simple.

Bio-identical Hormone Ratio
A woman’s body makes three different estrogens: estrone, estradiol and estriol. Estradiol is the predominant estrogen, produced in twice the amount of the other estrogens in the blood. To function normally, a woman’s body must have this ratio of 2:1.

Balance is vital when it comes to hormone replacement therapy in Arizona. This estrogen ratio, in addition to a proper level of bio-identical testosterone, is what returns a woman’s body to its normal hormonally balanced physiology.

Men, on the other hand, produce only miniscule levels of estrogen in their bodies, and require only testosterone hormone treatments to achieve balance and return to their former optimum well-being.
