FAQ

Hormone Pellet Training FAQ for Anti-Aging/Functional Medicine Specialists

Common questions about hormone pellet training for anti-aging and longevity medicine specialists.

Hormone optimization is central to functional medicine, and pellet therapy provides the most consistent, physiologic hormone delivery available. Unlike creams, patches, or injections that create peaks and troughs, pellets release hormones steadily over 3-5 months—exactly what your patients need for optimal aging. Pellet therapy also creates recurring patient visits that support your comprehensive age management approach.
Hormone optimization through pellets enhances outcomes from virtually all other anti-aging interventions. Patients with optimized testosterone often see better results from weight management programs (including GLP-1 therapies), improved response to regenerative treatments like PRP, and enhanced benefits from peptide protocols. Balanced hormones also support cognitive function, sleep quality, and exercise capacity—all foundational to longevity.
Our Hormone Pellet Training Course is completed in just 1 day. You'll receive your AAOPM Certificate of Completion immediately after successfully finishing the hands-on training and didactic components. Given your background in functional medicine, you likely already understand hormone optimization principles—this course adds the technical pellet insertion skills to your existing expertise.
Both models work well for anti-aging practices. Most private insurance plans do reimburse for hormone pellet procedures when medically indicated, which can make your services accessible to more patients. However, many anti-aging/functional medicine specialists position pellet therapy as part of premium membership or concierge programs, commanding fees of $350-600 per procedure. The course covers both approaches so you can choose what aligns with your practice philosophy.
functional medicine specialists typically charge $350-600 per pellet insertion, often at the higher end due to their specialized expertise and comprehensive approach. With patients returning 3-4 times per year, a panel of 50 hormone optimization patients can generate $70,000-120,000+ annually from pellet procedures alone—plus the additional revenue from related services like labs, consultations, and complementary therapies.
You'll need a trocar insertion kit (disposable or reusable stainless steel), hormone pellets from a compounding pharmacy, local anesthetic, and standard sterile supplies. The course covers equipment options, pellet suppliers, and how to establish relationships with compounding pharmacies. Initial equipment investment is minimal—most practices recoup costs within the first few patients.
