If you’ve been doing “all the right things” (sleep, workouts, nutrition, supplements…) and still feel like your body isn’t responding the way it used to—there may be more going on than “getting older.”
Hormones are master regulators. They influence energy, mood, focus, metabolism, libido, recovery, and sleep. And when hormones are out of balance, it can feel like you’re stuck in low gear—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
At NuIQ Wellness Lounge & Med Spa, we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using pellet therapy as one option within hormone therapy (HRT). Our approach is lab-guided, personalized, and designed to support consistency—without the daily hassle of creams or frequent injections when pellets are an appropriate fit.
At-a-Glance: BHRT Pellet Therapy (HRT) in Cleveland
BHRT pellet therapy is a form of hormone therapy (HRT) that uses small pellets placed under the skin to deliver a steady dose of hormones over time. At NuIQ Wellness Lounge & Med Spa in Cleveland, care starts with a consultation and lab work so a licensed provider can determine whether pellet therapy is appropriate and review alternatives. Pellets commonly last about 3–5 months, though timing varies by individual.
Common reasons people explore BHRT/HRT (varies by person):
- Low energy, brain fog, or low motivation
- Sleep disruption
- Mood changes
- Low libido
- Body composition shifts and recovery concerns
What the process looks like:
- Consult + health history review
- Lab testing
- Personalized plan + monitoring timeline
- Quick in-office pellet placement + aftercare
Hormone therapy is prescription-based and individualized. A consultation and lab testing are required. Results vary.
BHRT Pellet Therapy in Cleveland: What It Is and How It Works
BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy—a term commonly used to describe hormones designed to match the molecular structure your body naturally produces.
Pellet therapy uses small pellets placed just beneath the skin during a quick in-office procedure. Over time, the pellet dissolves and is designed to release a steady, consistent dose of hormones over several months, which many patients prefer for convenience and consistency.
BHRT vs Hormone Therapy (HRT): What’s the Difference?
Hormone therapy (HRT) is the umbrella term for treatments that address hormone deficiency or imbalance. BHRT typically refers to hormones designed to match what the body naturally produces. BHRT can be delivered in different forms (including pellets), and your provider can review options based on your labs, symptoms, goals, and medical history.
How Hormone Pellets Work: Steady Delivery Over Time
Pellets are placed beneath the skin (commonly in the upper hip area) during a brief procedure. The goal is steady hormone delivery over time—rather than daily application or frequent dosing schedules. How long pellets last and how you feel during that time can vary based on the individual, the dose, activity level, metabolism, and follow-up strategy.
Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance (Not Just Menopause)
Yes—perimenopause and menopause can be major hormone transition seasons. But they’re not the only ones.
Many people experience hormone imbalance in their 20s and 30s, and it can be mislabeled as stress, burnout, or “life being busy.” Hormones may shift with sleep disruption, chronic stress, postpartum changes, lifestyle intensity (overtraining/under-fueling), medications, and underlying health factors.
Hormone Changes in Your 20s, 30s, 40s and Beyond
Hormones don’t change overnight—but gradual shifts can add up. If you feel like your baseline has changed, it’s worth evaluating what’s happening under the surface instead of white-knuckling your way through it.
Common Symptoms People Associate with Hormone Optimization
- Persistent fatigue (even with sleep)
- Brain fog or low motivation
- Mood changes or irritability
- Changes in libido
- Stubborn weight or body composition shifts
- Poor workout recovery, low stamina, or plateaued results
- Sleep disruption (waking at night, non-restorative sleep)
The goal of BHRT/HRT isn’t to “turn you into a different person.” It’s to support you in feeling like you—more consistently—when it’s clinically appropriate.
Pellet Therapy in Cleveland: Why Some People Choose This Option
Pellets aren’t the right fit for everyone—but for the right candidate, they can be appealing for convenience and consistency.
Pellets vs Creams vs Injections: Pros, Cons, and Lifestyle Fit
There are multiple ways to deliver hormone therapy (HRT), and each has pros and cons. Pellets are often chosen for:
- Low maintenance: no daily routine
- Consistency: designed to support steadier delivery over time
- Lifestyle-friendly: helpful for people who prefer fewer dosing touchpoints
Your provider will review pellet therapy alongside other delivery options to help you choose what fits your goals, health history, and monitoring preferences.
Testosterone Pellets in Cleveland: What People Mean (and Who It’s For)
“Testosterone pellets” is a common search term for both men and women. For men, testosterone may be explored when labs and symptoms point to deficiency. For women, testosterone may be considered in specific clinical scenarios—always based on careful evaluation and individualized dosing. The right plan depends on your lab results, symptoms, and medical history.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): Who May Be a Candidate?
BHRT isn’t one size fits all, and it isn’t limited to one age group. It can be considered for women and men when symptoms and labs point to imbalance—and when a licensed provider determines it’s a good fit.
BHRT for Women: Perimenopause, Menopause, and More
Women commonly explore BHRT/HRT for:
- Low energy, disrupted sleep, brain fog
- Mood shifts, irritability, anxiety-like symptoms
- Low libido
- Body composition changes
- Perimenopause/menopause symptoms (including hot flashes and night sweats)
BHRT for Men: Energy, Libido, Recovery, and Body Composition
Men commonly explore BHRT/HRT for:
- Low energy and stamina
- Reduced libido
- Changes in motivation and mood
- Recovery challenges
- Body composition changes
Why Labs Matter: Symptoms Can Overlap with Other Conditions
Symptoms can overlap with thyroid issues, iron deficiency, sleep disorders, and more—so lab-guided evaluation is key. The goal is to understand what’s driving your symptoms and determine the most appropriate next step.

Why the EvexiPEL Method stands out
A patented approach + data-informed dosing + structured quality processes
There are many pellet options available. We chose the EvexiPEL Method at NuIQ because it supports a more structured, lab-guided approach—designed for consistency and personalization.
1) Utility-patented pellet formulation
EvexiPEL’s pellet formulation is backed by a utility patent. For patients, that matters because it signals a defined formulation approach—rather than an inconsistent, one-off process.

3) A pharmacy ecosystem designed to support consistency
EvexiPEL’s approach is supported by the FarmaKeio pharmacy network, including an FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility that supplies eligible medical practices.

FAQs: BHRT Pellet Therapy + Hormone Therapy (HRT) in Cleveland
How long do hormone pellets last?
Pellets commonly last about 3–5 months, though timing varies by metabolism, dose, and activity level. Your provider will outline a monitoring plan and expected timeline based on your labs and response.

Some people notice changes earlier; others need more time. Your baseline levels, symptom profile, sleep, stress, and lifestyle factors can all influence timeline and outcomes.
