Feeling Like Yourself Again: The Pellet Promise

Listen on Spreaker 

Feeling tired, foggy, and unlike yourself? You’re not alone—and it’s not just “getting older.”

Meet CarolAnn Tatera, CEO of SotoPelle and widow of Dr. Gino Tatera, the physician who revolutionized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Her personal transformation began at age 42 when debilitating night sweats, memory problems, and stubborn weight gain led her to discover her testosterone levels were nearly depleted.

CarolAnn takes us behind the scenes of hormone pellet therapy, a method that’s actually been around since 1939 but remains unfamiliar to many. Unlike the hormone roller coaster created by creams, patches, or pills, these rice-sized pellets deliver steady hormone levels with a simple 15-minute procedure just a few times yearly. The results? Renewed energy, mental clarity, improved metabolism, and skin so rejuvenated that friends assumed she’d had cosmetic surgery.

What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is learning how bioidentical hormones are making waves far beyond treating menopause. From professional athletes with traumatic brain injuries contemplating suicide to Parkinson’s patients seeking relief, hormone therapy is showing remarkable promise for cognitive and neurological health. CarolAnn, approaching 70 but looking decades younger, embodies the potential benefits, having been named Arizona’s top HRT company for ten consecutive years.

Whether you’re struggling with perimenopausal symptoms, unexplained fatigue, or simply curious about optimizing your wellness as you age, this eye-opening discussion might offer the missing piece you’ve been searching for. Remember that while gut health remains foundational (as we often discuss on Spandex and Wine), hormone balance could be the key to feeling like yourself again.
