Hormones, The Brain and Mental Health

Studies show the brain contains thousands of hormone receptors for estrogen, testosterone and progesterone that regulate neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. These “feel good” chemical messengers, often called “the happiness hormones,” influence mood, memory, mobility, concentration, sleep, appetite, cognitive function, and mental health.

The neurotransmitters rely on the proper balance of the sex hormones not only for brain and mental health but also for protection against neurodegenerative diseases. Scientific research is now proving what Dr. Gino Tutera discovered over 15 years ago: the direct and intricate link between hormones and the brain. Dr. Tutera used the SottoPelle® Method for patients with Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, Traumatic Brain Injury, concussions, depression, and dementia with positive results. The following content highlights how hormones impact the brain and mental health and the science-based studies supporting Dr. Tutera’s groundbreaking work using SottoPelle® in this field.

Provider Hormone Therapy Training: Testosterone Replacement for Women

Many physicians are less familiar with dosing of male hormones in female patients. As a result, testosterone replacement in women is sometimes avoided by doctors when it could provide substantial improvements in female patients’ health.

Why the SottoPelle® Hormone Method?

Once inserted, a steady, low dose of natural hormone flows directly into the blood stream whenever the body needs it. This gives the body the ability to control the release of the hormones just as it did when the ovaries and testicles were working normally.
