What is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone Therapy in Wichita, KS Certified Provider at Hazel + Honey
THE HRT BREAKDOWN
As we age, our bodies naturally produce less of the hormones that help us function and feel our best, such as estrogen and testosterone. These hormones play a role in nearly every major system, including brain function, energy, mood, bone health, and reproductive wellness.
When hormone levels become imbalanced, symptoms can show up in multiple ways. That’s where hormone therapy becomes essential.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone Replacement Therapy, or HRT, restores hormone balance using plant-derived compounds that are structurally identical to the hormones your body naturally produces.
Because they match your body’s natural hormones, they are absorbed and used effectively. At Hazel + Honey Med Spa in Wichita, we use BHRT to help clients feel more energized, clear-headed, and emotionally balanced.
Pellet Therapy for Hormone Replacement
Pellet therapy is a well-established method of delivering hormones, backed by decades of clinical research. It uses tiny hormone pellets, about the size of a grain of rice, that are inserted just beneath the skin in a quick, in-office procedure.
Once placed, the pellets:
Release a steady stream of hormones into your bloodstream
Are fully absorbed over time, leaving nothing behind
Require re-treatment only every 3 to 5 months, depending on the patient
Because pellet therapy provides a consistent release of hormones, it helps maintain stable levels without the fluctuations that can come with other delivery methods.
Our hormone therapy specialists in Wichita use pellet therapy to create personalized, long-term wellness strategies for both men and women.
The Importance of Hormone Balance
Many women begin to feel the effects of hormone changes during perimenopause and menopause, while men may experience a gradual decline in testosterone levels known as andropause.
Even small hormone imbalances can impact:
Energy levels
Mental clarity
Libido and sexual health
Sleep patterns
Mood stability
Weight and metabolism
At Hazel + Honey, we take a full-body approach to hormone optimization, helping clients regain control and feel more like themselves again. Not sure if hormone therapy is right for you? Let’s talk through your symptoms and goals in a personalized consultation.

our process
-
At Hazel + Honey Med Spa in Wichita, we follow a personalized, step-by-step approach to hormone therapy. Here’s what you can expect:
Step 1: Comprehensive Bloodwork
The first step in the process is a full blood panel. This gives us an in-depth view of your hormone levels and overall health. Bloodwork must be completed at least one week before any pellet therapy is administered.
Step 2: In-Person Consultation with Tonya Gable, APRN, FNP
Once we’ve received your lab results, you’ll meet with Tonya Gable, APRN, FNP, for a one-on-one consultation. During this visit, she’ll walk you through:
A detailed review of your lab results
A discussion about your symptoms and goals
A customized plan built specifically for your needs
This appointment allows us to connect the data from your labs with what you’re feeling day to day. From there, we’ll design a treatment plan to help restore your hormone balance and improve your quality of life.
Step 3: Pellet Placement
Your first pellet placement will take place during this same visit. The procedure is quick, performed in-office, and requires no downtime. Some clients experience mild soreness at the insertion site near the hip for a day or two, but most return to normal activities right away.
-
Once your pellet therapy begins, we’ll guide you through every step of your hormone optimization journey — including lab work and ongoing treatment.
Step 3: Six-Week Lab Follow-Up
About six weeks after your first pellet placement, you'll return for follow-up bloodwork to evaluate how your body is responding. This lab work is included in the cost of your initial panel.
Step 4: Ongoing Pellet Appointments
To maintain results, most clients return for additional pellets on the following schedule:
Every 3–4 months for women
Every 5–6 months for men
This keeps your hormone levels consistent and symptoms well-managed throughout the year.
Step 5: Annual Lab Review
We perform full annual lab work to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. This ensures your therapy evolves with your needs.
Step 6: Feel Your Best
With consistent care and custom treatment, many of our clients report increased energy, improved mood, better sleep, and more balanced overall wellness. Our goal is always to help you feel like the healthiest, most confident version of yourself.
