How Hormones Impact
Parkinson’s Disease Patients
“Heal Traumatic Brain Injury with Bioidentical Hormones”
Compiled by Michael Downey
As seen in Life Extension, Feb. 2015
Traumatic brain injury afflicts nearly 1.7 million Americans annually and causes devastating cognitive, emotional, and physical deficits.
Standard therapies frequently fail to provide significant recovery after the acute phase, and chronic symptoms can linger over a lifetime.
Innovative physicians are discovering that brain trauma can trigger deficiencies in certain hormones. When these hormones are restored using precise bioidentical therapy, a reversal of functional deficits associated with brain injury has been shown.
Beyond brain injuries, accumulating evidence suggests that—as rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease continue to explode—replenishing these same hormones may also help inhibit these degenerative brain diseases.
… And just as Dr. Tutera has shown that TBI symptoms can be treated and possibly reversed with sex hormones.

Testosterone fuels the brain, influencing the neurotransmitters regulating your memory, mood, motor control, behavior and cognitive functions. Research indicates it has been used to treat osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome and cholesterol. T therapy may help prevent Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
As SottoPelle’s CEO, CarolAnn Tutera is the original female industry leader, continuing what she and Dr. Tutera started in the 1990s. “We’re working with ex-NFL players and veterans and excited about the progress they’re making,” she said. “We support everyone on their journey and have so many success stories.”
Advances in TRT therapy show it’s helping men stay sharp, strong and energized. A 2023 Harvard Health study cites the cardiovascular safety of TRT in preventing strokes and heart attacks. A recent meta-analysis of 35 clinical studies found TRT restored normal T levels to enhance men’s strength, brainpower and vitality without cardiovascular risks.
SottoPelle is committed to helping athletes, veterans, and anyone with head injuries or low T to regain their muscle and mojo.
“Boost Your Brain with Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy”

Most people associate the sex hormones with puberty and reproduction. But estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone serve a much greater purpose in human health.
Numerous studies demonstrate how the sex hormones act like a master switch for every organ and tissue of the body, regulating cognitive function, mood, sleep, and all the neurotransmitters. In fact, brain health hinges completely on hormonal balance.
One visionary medical team already connected the dots over 30 years ago, pioneering a safe, effective method for body and brain health. CarolAnn Tutera, president and CEO of SottoPelle®/Tutera Medical®, co-founded the company with her late husband, Dr. Gino Tutera, a medical pioneer renowned for his groundbreaking innovations using bioidentical hormone pellets.
Backed by 87 years of scientific research and slipped under the skin, subcutaneous pellets demonstrate the greatest efficacy in penetrating the blood-brain barrier for consistent hormone distribution.

Why HRT Pellets for Parkinson’s Disease?
SottoPelle® Method uses estradiol pellets increasing dopamine production and decreases inflammation in the female brain, as does the testosterone in the male brain. Patients often tell us that our BHRT restores their quality of life. Parkinson’s patients prefer time-released SottoPelle® pellets, because they offer consistent 24/7 hormone delivery – so there is not the rollercoaster ups and downs of cream, injection and pill hormone therapies. Rick James is one of our active patients with Parkinson’s.
As a participant in the Baehr Challenge for Parkinson’s Research, Rick saw firsthand the healing power of exercise enabled by hormone therapy when he started with SottoPelle® in 2012. He was drawn to our treatment because of the possibility of improving muscle mass and strength, of boosting his energy levels and increasing his motivation and mindset. He felt our BHRT had more benefits and advantages than other methods and his hormone treatment, exercise regimen and management of Parkinson’s continues.

After the first appointment I felt better with easier mobility and experienced improvement in mental clarity. With the second appointment, my energy level improved and most importantly I put my walker away for a few weeks. I have just returned from my third appointment and I’m feeling hopeful that we will see more improvement. Thanks to Dr. Tutera and his staff.”
