Understanding Testosterone & Men's Health

In Grand Junction and across Colorado, more and more men are taking charge of their health — and a big part of that conversation is about testosterone. As a key hormone in the male body, testosterone affects nearly every aspect of men’s health: energy, mood, muscle strength, libido, and overall vitality.

As men age, it’s natural for testosterone levels to decline, but for many, the symptoms of low testosterone (Low T) can severely impact daily life and long-term health. Fortunately, there are solutions — and the team at Hormone Health and Wellness of Colorado is here to help.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men

Not sure if Low T is affecting you? These are the most common symptoms we see in men from Grand Junction and surrounding areas:

• Chronic fatigue and lack of motivation

• Decreased sex drive and performance issues

• Increased body fat, especially around the abdomen

• Loss of muscle mass and strength

• Depression, anxiety, or irritability

• Poor concentration and memory (a.k.a. “brain fog”)

• Trouble sleeping or staying asleep

• Hair loss or thinning

• Weakened bones or frequent injuries

• General feeling of not being yourself

If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to accept them as “just aging.”

What Is Testosterone Pellet Therapy?

At Hormone Health and Wellness of Colorado in Grand Junction, we specialize in testosterone pellet therapy, one of the most effective and low-maintenance treatment options for men with Low T.

Pellet therapy involves inserting small, natural hormone pellets just under the skin (typically in the hip area), which release a steady, optimized dose of testosterone over 4–6 months. This eliminates the need for daily gels, weekly shots, or messy creams.

Top 10 FAQs About Testosterone Pellet Supplements

2. How often will I need new pellets?

   Not at all. We use local anesthetic, and the procedure takes just a few minutes.

4. How soon will I see results?
   Some men feel improvements in energy, mood, and drive in as little as 7–10 days.

5. Are there any risks or side effects?
   Like any treatment, pellet therapy may have side effects like mild swelling or acne, but we minimize risks with proper lab monitoring.

   Yes! Many patients see an increase in lean muscle and a decrease in belly fat when combining therapy with healthy habits.
