Hormones affect a range of functions in the body. However, some people may have difficulties with hormone regulation due to illness, pregnancy, or age. When you're suffering from a hormonal deficiency, it can show up in several ways from weight problems to osteoporosis. Here are signs you may need hormone pellets to help manage deficiency.

1. Fatigue

As an active person, it’s noticeable when you have a decline in energy. Hormonal deficiency can affect your otherwise high energy levels. You may get tired and want to sleep more. However, with therapeutic hormone pellets, you'll notice your energy returning. You'll be able to get back to running, hiking, or being more present with your family.

2. Weight Issues

If you haven't changed your diet, you may feel shocked if you suddenly begin to gain weight. However, our experts have found that weight gain is one of the signs of hormonal problems, especially in menopausal women. In many cases, this weight gain will happen around the belly area.

3. Depression or Mood Swings

If you’re normally a mentally balanced or happy person, it may be odd when you suddenly begin having mood swings. Remember, hormones affect many aspects of your body, including feelings of happiness and sadness. When the hormonal regulators in the brain aren’t working properly, it can create feelings of depression and anxiety. Therefore, if you find yourself mad or sad for no reason, it may be time to seek therapy.

4. Lack of Intimacy

Being intimate with your partner makes you both feel good and maintain a bond. What happens if you suddenly lose interest or it seems painful instead of enjoyable? According to the National Institute of Health, up to 50% of men deal with testosterone deficiency, which can result in a decreased sex drive. This may be an indicator that you should adjust your hormones with hormone pellets.

5. Muscle Loss 

As men lose testosterone, they may also experience muscle loss. It is this muscle loss that may also contribute to overall weakness. People also may experience bone loss when hormones decrease. Women in particular are susceptible to osteoporosis, but men can also suffer from it.
