For many women, weight gain, fatigue, and mood changes seem to appear out of nowhere. But in many cases, the thyroid is quietly responsible. This small gland plays a major role in how the body converts food into energy. When it slows down, metabolism follows, and suddenly everything feels harder including; losing weight, staying focused, even getting through the day.

It’s common to assume stress, diet, or age are to blame. Yet thyroid imbalance in women often goes undiagnosed. Even when eating well and staying active, progress can stall if the thyroid isn’t functioning properly. That’s why understanding thyroid health for women is essential. Your thyroid affects every part of your well-being from energy and mood to metabolism and confidence.

GLP-1s: More Than Just Weight Loss

Most people associate GLP-1 medications with weight loss—but did you know they offer a wide range of health benefits beyond the scale?

✅ Type 2 Diabetes
GLP-1s help lower blood sugar by improving insulin response and reducing glucose spikes after meals.

✅ Heart Health
Some GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in patients with Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

✅ Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD/NASH)
GLP-1s may reduce liver fat and inflammation, offering promise in the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

✅ Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS)
They can help improve insulin resistance, regulate menstrual cycles, and support weight management in women with PCOS.

✅ Neuroprotection
Early studies suggest GLP-1s may have protective effects on the brain and are being investigated for conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

GLP-1 medications are reshaping how we manage chronic conditions—not just how we lose weight.

The Truth About Hormone Pellets
Hormone pellets may be growing in popularity, but more isn’t always better.
Many patients experience:
❌ Inconsistent absorption – Everyone metabolizes pellets differently, leading to unpredictable hormone levels.
❌ Hormone “crash” – When pellets wear off early, symptoms often return suddenly.
❌ No easy dose adjustment – Once inserted, you can’t lower or fine-tune your dose until the next procedure.
❌ Procedure-related risks – Even with proper technique, there’s still a small risk of infection or scarring.

At Padgett Medical Center, we prefer safer, more precise hormone therapy options that can be tailored to your body—without the highs and lows.

Why We Don’t Recommend Hormone Pellets at Padgett Medical

When it comes to hormone replacement therapy, not all methods are created equal. Hormone pellets are often marketed as convenient and long-lasting—but convenience can come at a cost.

Here’s why we believe pellets are one of the worst forms of hormone therapy:

✅ Zero flexibility – Once inserted, the dose can’t be adjusted for months. If side effects occur, you’re stuck riding them out.
✅ Hormone spikes & crashes – Pellets can cause unpredictable surges and dips in hormone levels, making symptoms worse instead of better.
✅ Difficult to reverse – Unlike creams, injections, or orals, there’s no way to “undo” the dose once it’s in your body.
✅ Higher risk of side effects – We’ve seen more complications with pellets than any other method of hormone delivery.

At Padgett Medical, we believe in personalized, adjustable treatment plans that fit your body and your goals.
