Restore balance, energy, and vitality with personalized BHRT pellet therapy for men and women.
Home » Treatments » Hormone Replacement Therapy Santa Barbara
As we age, our hormone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms that affect every aspect of our lives – from energy and mood to weight and libido. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help restore balance and improve your quality of life.
At MiraMed, our Nurse Practitioner Amber specializes in hormone optimization using bioidentical pellet therapy. Unlike pills or creams that cause hormone fluctuations, pellets deliver a steady, consistent dose of hormones that mimics your body’s natural rhythm.
We begin with comprehensive lab work to understand your unique hormone profile, then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Our approach is evidence-based, focusing on optimizing your hormones to help you feel your best.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are designed to match your body’s hormones exactly, resulting in better absorption and fewer side effects.
Hormone pellets are small, rice-sized cylinders containing bioidentical hormones. They are inserted under the skin during a quick in-office procedure (usually in the hip area) and release a steady, consistent dose of hormones over 3-6 months, mimicking your body’s natural hormone release pattern.
Both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance may be candidates. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, low libido, mood changes, brain fog, and sleep issues. We start with comprehensive lab work to assess your hormone levels and determine if BHRT is right for you.
The procedure is minimally invasive. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, so most patients feel only slight pressure. The entire procedure takes about 10-15 minutes. You may have some bruising or tenderness at the insertion site for a few days.
Most patients begin to notice improvements in energy and mood within 2-4 weeks. Full benefits, including improved libido, mental clarity, and sleep, typically develop over 4-6 weeks as hormone levels stabilize.
Women typically need pellet insertions every 3-4 months, while men usually need them every 4-6 months. The frequency depends on your individual metabolism and hormone needs, which we monitor through follow-up lab work.
Schedule your hormone lab draw to take the first step toward feeling like yourself again.
