Are Hormone Imbalances Holding You Back?
If you’re struggling with exhaustion, weight gain that won’t budge, mood swings that affect your relationships, or a sex drive that’s disappeared, you’re not imagining things. Thousands of men and women across Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport are discovering that hormone imbalances are the hidden culprit behind their symptoms—and that relief is closer than they think.
Common Symptoms in Women:
- Hot flashes and night sweats disrupting your sleep and daily activities
- Brain fog making it hard to concentrate at work or remember simple things
- Unexplained weight gain despite eating right and exercising
- Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability that don’t feel like “you”

- Low testosterone affecting performance in and out of the gym
- Reduced sex drive and erectile dysfunction
- Irritability and mood changes impacting work and family
- Poor workout recovery despite training hard
- Sleep problems and decreased quality of life
The Good News
Hormone pellet therapy addresses these symptoms at their source by delivering bioidentical hormones that work with your body’s natural rhythms—not against them. Unlike daily pills, messy creams, or weekly injections, pellets provide consistent hormone levels 24/7 for months at a time.
What Is Hormone Pellet Therapy?
Hormone pellet therapy is a natural, proven approach to hormone replacement that has been used successfully for over 80 years. It uses tiny pellets—about the size of a grain of rice—that are inserted just beneath the skin in a quick, painless office procedure.
These pellets contain bioidentical hormones (estrogen and/or testosterone) that are molecularly identical to what your body produces naturally. This means your body recognizes and uses them effectively, often resulting in fewer side effects and better symptom relief compared to synthetic hormones.

How It’s Different from Other Hormone Replacement
Pellets release a steady, physiologic dose 24/7 for months. Many patients choose pellets to avoid the peaks and dips that can happen with pills, creams, or injections:
- Pills: Can cause hormone fluctuations throughout the day, which may lead to inconsistent symptom control
- Creams and Gels: May have variable absorption, can be messy, and risk transferring to family members or pets
- Injections: Require weekly or bi-weekly administration and can create fluctuating hormone levels
- Patches: Can cause skin irritation, may fall off during activity, and deliver variable doses
Pellets provide steady hormone delivery over months, which many patients find more convenient than daily or weekly dosing.
Why Bioidentical Matters
Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to the hormones your body makes. For many patients, that can mean predictable absorption and good symptom control when therapy is properly dosed and monitored.
Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural plant sources (typically soy or yams) and are chemically restructured to match human hormones. Because the body recognizes them as identical to naturally occurring hormones, many providers and patients prefer them for hormone replacement therapy.
The Life-Changing Benefits of Hormone Pellet Therapy
When hormones are balanced, many aspects of life can improve. Here’s what patients across Johnson City, Gray, and Jonesborough often report after optimizing hormones with pellets under our care:
Consistent Energy All Day Long
Wake up refreshed and maintain steady energy from morning to night. No more 2pm crashes or feeling exhausted after work. Patients report having the stamina to power through their workday at ETSU, Johnson City Medical Center, or wherever they work, and still have energy for evening activities with family.
Improved Mood & Mental Clarity
Experience fewer mood swings, reduced anxiety, and sharper mental focus. Many patients describe feeling like themselves again—with better concentration for complex tasks, improved memory, and emotional stability that strengthens relationships at home and work.
Relief from Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
Stop disrupting meetings with sudden sweats. Enjoy uninterrupted sleep without soaking through your sheets. Most women experience significant relief from vasomotor symptoms within 2-4 weeks of their first pellet insertion.
Better Body Composition & Metabolism
Build lean muscle more easily, lose stubborn belly fat, and see better results from workouts at local gyms in Johnson City. Balanced hormones make weight management easier and help your body respond better to diet and exercise efforts.
Enhanced Libido & Intimacy
Restore your sex drive and improve intimate experiences. Many patients report renewed desire, better physical response, and more satisfying relationships with their partners. Hormone therapy can also help with vaginal dryness and painful intercourse in women, and erectile function in men.
Quality Sleep That Actually Restores You
Fall asleep easier, stay asleep through the night, and wake feeling truly refreshed. Better sleep means improved recovery, enhanced mood, clearer thinking, and more energy throughout your day.
Cognitive Support
Optimal hormone levels may support cognitive function and memory. Some patients report improved mental sharpness when hormones are balanced under medical supervision.
Bone Health Support
Hormone therapy may help maintain bone density when properly dosed and monitored, which is especially important for postmenopausal women and men with low testosterone.
Overall Health Benefits
When started within 10 years of menopause and properly supervised, hormone therapy may support cardiovascular health as part of comprehensive medical care.
Healthier Skin & Hair
Hormones support collagen production, skin elasticity, and healthy hair growth. Many patients notice their skin looks more youthful and their hair is thicker.

How Hormone Pellet Therapy Works: Your Journey to Balance
Getting started with hormone pellet therapy at Peak Performance JC is simple, safe, and takes just minutes. Here’s exactly what to expect:
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment (Week 1)
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation:
- Detailed health history including symptoms, medications, and health goals
- Comprehensive blood work to measure your current hormone levels (estradiol, testosterone, thyroid, DHEA, and other key markers)
- Physical assessment to evaluate your overall health
- Personalized consultation to discuss whether pellet therapy is the right approach for you
Most patients complete this initial visit in 45-60 minutes at our convenient Bristol Highway location.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan (Week 2-3)
Once your lab results are ready, we’ll:
- Review your hormone levels and identify specific imbalances
- Create a customized dosage tailored to your body weight, metabolism, activity level, and symptoms
- Discuss realistic expectations and timeline for symptom improvement
- Answer all your questions about the procedure, recovery, and ongoing care
- Schedule your pellet insertion at a time that works with your schedule
Step 3: Quick & Painless Pellet Insertion (5-10 Minutes)
The actual pellet insertion is remarkably simple:
- Numbing: We apply local anesthesia to completely numb the insertion area (usually the upper buttock or hip)
- Tiny incision: A small incision is made—so small it doesn’t even require stitches
- Pellet placement: The rice-sized pellet is inserted just beneath the skin using a specialized tool
- Bandage application: We close the area with a small bandage and medical tape
- You’re done! Most patients report feeling only slight pressure and no pain
After your procedure:
- Rest for the remainder of the day
- Avoid vigorous exercise, swimming, and bathtub soaking for 3-5 days
- Keep the insertion site clean and dry
- Most patients return to work the next day
Step 4: Enjoy 3-6 Months of Consistent Relief
The pellet slowly releases hormones as your body needs them, dissolving completely over time (no removal necessary!):
- Days 1-7: Pellet begins releasing hormones; some patients notice early improvements in sleep and energy
- Weeks 2-4: Most patients experience noticeable symptom relief
- Weeks 4-6: Full benefits realized as hormone levels stabilize
- Months 2-6: Enjoy consistent, steady symptom control with no daily maintenance
Step 5: Follow-Up & Optimization
We stay with you throughout your journey:
- 4-6 week follow-up: Check-in to assess symptom improvement and adjust future dosing if needed
- Ongoing monitoring: Regular lab work ensures optimal hormone levels
- Before next insertion: We’ll schedule your replacement pellet before the current one runs out to maintain consistent levels
What Makes Peak Performance JC Different: We don’t just insert pellets and send you on your way. We provide comprehensive hormone optimization with ongoing support, monitoring, and adjustments to ensure you achieve and maintain optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Pellet Therapy
How long do hormone pellets last?
Hormone pellets typically last 3-6 months depending on your individual metabolism, activity level, and dosage. Women usually need pellet replacement every 3-4 months, while men’s pellets often last 4-6 months. Highly active individuals and those with faster metabolisms may metabolize pellets more quickly. We’ll monitor your levels and schedule your next insertion when needed to maintain optimal hormone balance.

We offer same-day and next-day pellet appointments for patients across Bristol, Kingsport, Gray, Jonesborough, Piney Flats, and Elizabethton. Our convenient location at 3980 Bristol Hwy makes us easily accessible from anywhere in the Tri-Cities area.
Does hormone pellet therapy hurt?
The insertion procedure is quick and minimally uncomfortable. We use local anesthesia (lidocaine) to completely numb the insertion area, so most patients report feeling only slight pressure during the actual placement, which takes just 2-3 minutes. Any mild soreness at the insertion site typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Most patients describe it as less uncomfortable than getting a typical injection.
When will I start feeling better?
Timeline for improvement:
- Days 1-7: Many patients notice initial improvements in sleep quality and energy levels
- Weeks 2-4: Most patients experience noticeable relief from symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings

Response time varies by individual, but the majority of our Johnson City patients report feeling significantly better within the first month.

Most patients experience minimal side effects with properly dosed hormone pellet therapy. Potential side effects may include:

- Temporary mood or energy fluctuations as levels adjust (first 1-2 weeks)
Less common:
- Breast tenderness (usually temporary)
- Mild acne or increased facial hair in women receiving testosterone
- Increased red blood cell count (monitored with lab work)
Rare complications:
- Infection at insertion site (less than 1%)

Important: Serious side effects are rare when treatment is properly prescribed, monitored, and dosed by qualified providers like those at Peak Performance JC. We use comprehensive lab work and careful dosing to minimize risks while maximizing benefits.
How much does hormone pellet therapy cost in Johnson City?
The investment in hormone pellet therapy varies based on your individual dosage needs:
- Women: Typically $400-$450 per insertion (every 3-4 months)
- Men: Typically $550-$750 per insertion (every 4-6 months)
- Annual cost: Most patients invest $1,200-$1,800 per year
What’s included:
- Comprehensive lab work and hormone testing

Insurance coverage: Some insurance plans cover portions of hormone replacement therapy, including lab work and office visits. We’ll provide all necessary documentation for reimbursement. Many patients also use HSA/FSA funds for payment.

Is hormone pellet therapy safe?
Hormone pellet therapy is considered safe for appropriate candidates under proper medical supervision. Hormone pellet therapy has been used for over 80 years and has substantial clinical research supporting its use. Here’s what contributes to safety:
Safety features:
- Decades of clinical use and published research
- Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical to naturally occurring hormones
- Steady hormone delivery may help avoid fluctuations
- Direct absorption bypasses first-pass liver metabolism (unlike oral hormones)
- No risk of transference to family members (unlike creams)
Safety measures at Peak Performance JC:

Who should NOT use pellet therapy:

- Those with untreated blood clotting disorders
- People with serious liver disease
During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly review your medical history to determine if pellet therapy is appropriate for you.
Who is a good candidate for hormone pellet therapy?
You may be an excellent candidate for hormone pellet therapy if you:
For Women:
- Are experiencing menopause or perimenopause symptoms
- Struggle with hot flashes, night sweats, or sleep problems
- Have low energy, brain fog, or mood changes
- Experience vaginal dryness or painful intercourse
- Want to prevent bone loss and osteoporosis
- Prefer not to take daily pills or use messy creams
- Have a busy lifestyle (healthcare workers, parents, professionals in Johnson City)
For Men:
- Have been diagnosed with low testosterone (Low T)
- Experience fatigue, low motivation, or poor recovery from exercise
- Struggle with erectile dysfunction or low libido
- Notice muscle loss and increased belly fat
- Have mood changes, irritability, or depression
- Want steady testosterone levels without weekly injections
- Are active and want to maintain athletic performance
Ideal candidates also:
- Are committed to follow-up appointments and monitoring
- Have realistic expectations about hormone therapy
- Are willing to make lifestyle changes to support optimal hormone health
- Don’t have contraindications (active cancer, pregnancy, etc.)
The best way to know if you’re a candidate is to schedule a consultation at Peak Performance JC. We’ll evaluate your symptoms, review your health history, and perform comprehensive lab work to determine if pellet therapy is right for you.
Can I exercise after getting hormone pellets?
Recovery timeline:
- Day 0: Rest and keep insertion site dry
- Days 1–3: Light walking only; avoid vigorous exercise, heavy lifting (>20 lbs), and excessive sweating
- Days 3–5: Avoid high-impact activities, running, jumping, lower body exercises that engage gluteal muscles, pools, and hot tubs
- Days 5–7: Resume normal training if the site looks and feels normal
Why the restriction? The insertion site needs time to heal. Excessive movement during the first few days can cause the pellet to extrude (work its way out) or increase bruising and swelling.
Good news for active Johnson City residents: Once healed, pellet therapy actually enhances athletic performance! Many patients report:
- Better workout recovery
- Increased muscle growth and strength
- Improved endurance and stamina
- Enhanced fat loss despite the same training program
- More motivation to exercise
What’s the difference between pellet therapy and other hormone replacement methods?
Hormone Pellets:
- ✅ Consistent hormone levels 24/7
- ✅ No daily maintenance required
- ✅ Lasts 3-6 months per treatment
- ✅ No risk of transference to others
- ✅ Mimics natural hormone release
- ❌ Requires minor insertion procedure
- ❌ Dosage can’t be adjusted immediately
Pills (Oral Hormones):
- ❌ Daily remembering required
- ❌ Hormone spikes and crashes throughout the day
- ❌ Must pass through liver (increased side effects)
- ❌ Less effective absorption
- ✅ Easy to stop if needed
- ✅ No procedure required
Creams/Gels:
- ❌ Daily application required
- ❌ Can rub off on furniture, clothing
- ❌ Risk of transfer to family members and pets

- ✅ No procedure required
- ✅ Easy to adjust dosage
Injections:
- ❌ Weekly or bi-weekly injections needed
- ❌ Extreme hormone peaks and valleys
- ❌ Frequent clinic visits or self-injection
- ❌ May cause mood swings from fluctuations

- ✅ Lower upfront cost
Bottom line: For Johnson City residents with busy lives—whether you’re a healthcare worker at Ballad Health, parent juggling family activities, ETSU student or staff, or active professional—pellet therapy offers the most convenient, consistent, and effective hormone delivery available.
Will hormone pellets help me lose weight?
The honest answer: Hormone pellets alone won’t magically melt away pounds, but they create the foundation that makes weight loss possible—and sustainable.
How balanced hormones support weight loss:
- Improved metabolism: Optimal testosterone and estrogen levels boost metabolic rate
- Better body composition: Hormones help preserve and build lean muscle while burning fat
- Reduced cravings: Balanced hormones stabilize blood sugar and reduce emotional eating
- Increased energy: More energy means more activity and better workouts
- Better sleep: Quality sleep is essential for weight management and appetite regulation
- Decreased inflammation: Lower inflammation promotes fat loss
What Peak Performance JC patients experience: Many of our Johnson City patients report that once their hormones are balanced, the weight they struggled to lose for years finally starts coming off—especially when combined with:
- Medical weight loss programs (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide)
- Proper nutrition guidance
- Regular exercise routine
- IV therapy for metabolism support
Real results: While individual results vary, many patients lose 10-25 pounds in the first 6 months of hormone optimization combined with lifestyle changes.
Do I need a doctor’s prescription for hormone pellet therapy?
Yes. Hormone pellet therapy is a medical treatment that requires:
- Prescription from a licensed healthcare provider
- Comprehensive health evaluation
- Lab work to establish current hormone levels
- Medical supervision and follow-up care
Why this is important: Your safety depends on proper dosing, monitoring, and medical oversight. Peak Performance JC’s licensed medical providers have specialized training in hormone optimization and will ensure you receive safe, effective treatment tailored to your individual needs.
Getting started is easy: Simply call (423) 212-3703 to schedule your initial consultation. We’ll handle everything from there.
Do women need progesterone with estrogen pellets?
If you have a uterus, your provider will discuss adding progesterone to protect the uterine lining. Estrogen without progesterone in women with an intact uterus may increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia.
We’ll will recommend the appropriate progesterone therapy (oral, topical, or other forms) based on your individual needs and health history.
How are pellets dosed for men vs. women?
Dosing is individualized based on weight, current hormone levels from labs, symptoms, activity level, and metabolism.
Men typically require higher total testosterone doses and longer intervals between insertions (4-6 months), while women usually need smaller doses with more frequent insertions (3-4 months). Your provider calculates your specific dose using comprehensive lab work and your symptom profile.
What labs are checked before and after pellets?
Before pellet therapy:
- Estradiol and/or testosterone levels
- Complete blood count (CBC) including hematocrit
- Comprehensive metabolic panel (liver and kidney function)
- Lipid panel (cholesterol)
- Thyroid function tests (TSH, Free T3, Free T4)
- PSA for men over 40
- Age-appropriate cancer screenings
Follow-up monitoring: Your provider will recheck relevant hormone levels 4-6 weeks after your first insertion and periodically thereafter to ensure optimal dosing and safety. This comprehensive approach to monitoring is part of our commitment to integrative primary care and hormone optimization.
Can pellets cause acne or hair changes?
Yes, this is possible, especially with testosterone pellets. Some patients may experience:
- Mild acne or increased facial oil
- Increased or decreased hair growth
- Hair thinning (less common)
If this happens: Your provider can adjust your dose at the next insertion, recommend supportive skincare or medications if appropriate, or discuss alternative delivery methods if needed. Most side effects are mild and manageable.
What if my hematocrit goes up on testosterone?
Testosterone can sometimes increase red blood cell production (hematocrit). If your levels become elevated:
- Your provider may adjust your dose at the next insertion
- Recommend therapeutic blood donation (if appropriate)
- Consider changing delivery method or frequency
- Monitor more closely with lab work
This is why regular lab monitoring is essential for safe testosterone therapy.
How quickly can pellets be adjusted if I’m too high or low?
Because pellets dissolve gradually over months, immediate dose adjustment isn’t possible once inserted. However:
- Your provider may use supportive medications if appropriate to manage symptoms
- Dosage and interval are fine-tuned for your next insertion based on your response
- Most patients achieve optimal dosing by their second or third insertion
This is why starting with conservative dosing and careful monitoring is important, especially for first-time pellet patients.
