How Parkinson’s Disease Changes the Body

When Parkinson’s disease (PD) strikes, it causes the failure and death of a critical nerve cells in the brain, called neurons. Parkinson’s mainly affects neurons in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra. These particular neurons produce dopamine. Dopamine, in turn, communicates with the part of the brain that controls movement and coordination. As PD progresses, dopamine production decreases. This leaves a person unable to control movement in a normal way and this inhibits the ability to exercise and maintain fitness.

The SottoPelle® hormone replacement method – specifically testosterone replacement – aids those with Parkinson’s to exercise. It gives them the motivation, endurance and stamina to make headway in physical fitness, just as it does in those without the disease. Parkinson’s patients using pellets have experienced significant improvements in their conditions. Our BHRT isn’t a cure for Parkinson’s Disease, but our patients report that it helps them manage their symptoms. This enables patients to become more functional with less medication.

How Hormones Impact

Parkinson’s Disease Patients

Heal Traumatic Brain Injury with Bioidentical Hormones

“Heal Traumatic Brain Injury with Bioidentical Hormones”

Compiled by Michael Downey

As seen in Life Extension, Feb. 2015

Traumatic brain injury afflicts nearly 1.7 million Americans annually and causes devastating cognitive, emotional, and physical deficits.

Standard therapies frequently fail to provide significant recovery after the acute phase, and chronic symptoms can linger over a lifetime. Many patients are unable to fully re-enter society.

Innovative physicians are discovering that brain trauma can trigger deficiencies in certain hormones. When these hormones are restored using precise bioidentical therapy, a reversal of functional deficits associated with traumatic brain injury has been shown.

Beyond brain injuries, accumulating evidence suggests that—as rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease continue to explode—replenishing these same hormones may also help inhibit these degenerative brain diseases.

… And just as Dr. Tutera has shown that TBI symptoms can be treated and possibly reversed with sex hormones, the same hormones have been shown to reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

“How Testosterone Helps Boost Your Biceps And Your Brain”

by Catherine J. Rourke

As seen in USA Today, Oct. 14, 2024

Testosterone fuels the brain, influencing the neurotransmitters regulating your memory, mood, motor control, behavior and cognitive functions. Research indicates it has been used to treat osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome and cholesterol. T therapy may help prevent Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. 

As SottoPelle’s CEO, CarolAnn Tutera is the original female industry leader, continuing what she and Dr. Tutera started in the 1990s. “We’re working with ex-NFL players and veterans and excited about the progress they’re making,” she said. “We support everyone on their journey and have so many success stories.”

Advances in TRT therapy show it’s helping men stay sharp, strong and energized. A 2023 Harvard Health study cites the cardiovascular safety of TRT in preventing strokes and heart attacks. A recent meta-analysis of 35 clinical studies found TRT restored normal T levels to enhance men’s strength, brainpower and vitality without cardiovascular risks.

SottoPelle is committed to helping athletes, veterans, and anyone with head injuries or low T to regain their muscle and mojo.

Why  HRT Pellets for Parkinson’s Disease?

SottoPelle® Method uses estradiol pellets increasing dopamine production and decreases inflammation in the female brain, as does the testosterone in the male brain. Patients often tell us that our BHRT restores their quality of life. Parkinson’s patients prefer time-released SottoPelle® pellets, because they offer consistent 24/7 hormone delivery – so there is not the rollercoaster ups and downs of cream, injection and pill hormone therapies. Rick James is one of our active patients with Parkinson’s.

As a participant in the Baehr Challenge for Parkinson’s Research, Rick saw firsthand the healing power of exercise enabled by hormone therapy when he started with SottoPelle® in 2012. He was drawn to our treatment because of the possibility of improving muscle mass and strength, of boosting his energy levels and increasing his motivation and mindset. He felt our BHRT had more benefits and advantages than other methods and his hormone treatment, exercise regimen and management of Parkinson’s continues.

WHAT OUR PARKINSON’S PATIENTS SAY

“SottoPelle is making a significant difference in how I feel every day. It’s an important addition to my Parkinson’s protocol.”

After the first appointment I felt better with easier mobility and experienced improvement in mental clarity. With the second appointment, my energy level improved and most importantly I put my walker away for a few weeks. I have just returned from my third appointment and I’m feeling hopeful that we will see more improvement. Thanks to Dr. Tutera and his staff.”
