Neurobiology may sound complex, but boosting your brainpower is simple with SottoPelle® science.

“While this represents time-revered endocrinology and isn’t rocket science, BHRT offers a solution backed by studies in the prevention of serious maladies to offset the development of diseases.”

According to Dr. Tutera, “This is the only safe, effective approach to eliminating the root of all disease and physical dysfunction by restoring hormonal balance, normal neurotransmitter processes and physiology. It’s the best preventative antidote in modern medicine to alleviate the illnesses and often fatal diseases caused by stress.”

As pioneers bringing pellet therapy back into the mainstream with precision dosing, SottoPelle® paved the way decades ago as the visionary industry leader for pellet practices across America.

Today, Dr. Tutera’s wife CarolAnn continues his legacy as president of SottoPelle®, now celebrating 30 years helping more than 250,000 patients worldwide enjoy happier, healthier lives.

Feeling frazzled, fatigued, funky and foggy-headed? Do you keep misplacing those car keys or spacing out names and numbers? Maybe you’re constantly down in the dumps.

As women age and experience menopause, they undergo dramatic changes in their bodies and brains, from memory loss, mood swings and insomnia to fluctuations in appetite, weight and stress.

The World Health Organization estimates that many of the 50 million women in the U.S. over age 51 face cognitive decline and related mental conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia and depression.

According to a 2023 Columbia University Irving Medical Center report, the spike in cognitive disorders for women over age 45 remains a growing health concern, with women representing 65 percent of Alzheimer’s patients.

The good news: there are steps you can take to cut your risk and stay happy and healthy at any age. And it starts with your hormones.

“Bioidentical Pellet Therapy: A Safe Solution for Menopausal Symptoms”

Millions of women in the US remain untreated for debilitating menopausal symptoms, according to a recent report from the AARP Public Policy Institute.

A 2013 study indicated that “over 50,000 women may have lost their lives due to inaccessibility of the estrogen replacement their bodies needed.” Additional studies from 2013 to 2024 have also documented the mortality toll of estrogen avoidance.

One visionary industry leader is already answering that clarion call and trailblazing the way forward.

CarolAnn Tutera, CEO and president of Tutera® Medical/SottoPelle®, addressed these issues over 30 years ago when she and her late husband, Gino Tutera, MD, began treating patients for menopause using natural bioidentical hormone pellet therapy. Backed by 85 years of scientific research, their groundbreaking developments and innovative dosing method paved the way for pellet practices globally.

CarolAnn notes that the medical industry often fails to distinguish synthetic pharmaceutical hormones from the natural bioidentical kind. And therein lies the cause of the hormone debacle.
