"My hormone replacement therapy has truly made me feel like a new woman! I finally feel like my younger self again!"
"In my mid-fifties, I noticed a distinct lack of energy, coupled with weight gain and horrible night sweats resulting in poor sleep habits. I felt like I was caught in a vicious cycle of tiredness and lethargy. I’ve always been focused on healthy eating and exercise, so it was alarming to me that I didn’t feel like doing anything.
I made an appointment with my doctor at the time, who patted me on the knee and made some sort of comment about “welcome to getting older.” I left the office feeling defeated and hopeless.
Eventually, an internet search led me to Dr. Scinta’s wonderful clinic! My blood work revealed hormones that were horribly out of balance. For the past three years, my hormone replacement therapy has truly made me feel like a new woman! I feel like I did 20 years ago, with more energy and getting a full night’s sleep. And I’ve lost 10 pounds. I am so grateful to Dr. Scinta and her wonderful team. I cannot imagine my life without hormone replacement therapy. I finally feel like my younger self again!!
"
"Within weeks of my first insertion, ALL of my symptoms were gone!"
"All I can say is that BHRT is life-changing!
I had been struggling with menopause for 4 years. I checked off all the symptom boxes, with some so severe that I was becoming desperate and depressed. A friend told me about BHRT pellets and how much it helped her, but I couldn’t find anyone in my area that offered it.
I finally found Dr. Scinta, and since September 2022, I drive 5 hours each way from Massachusetts to New York every 3 months to get my pellet insertion. I do this because within weeks of my first insertion, ALL of my symptoms were gone! Dr. Scinta and her team have been amazing with my care, answering all of my questions and always providing clear explanations. I couldn’t recommend BHRT and Dr. Scinta more. The only request I have is that she will open another office in Massachusetts!"
"In about two weeks, a shade/cloud literally lifted, and I started to feel like I was 30 years old again!"
"I came to Dr. Scinta over five years ago with complaints of fatigue, sluggishness, zero energy, an inability to lose weight, and, by far, the lowest libido ever (according to my husband). Feeling rather pathetic and not wanting to admit at age 40 that I was perimenopausal, I swallowed my pride and let her staff work me up for everything you could think of!
It turned out that my testosterone was basically non-existent, contributing to ALL of my symptoms. From there on, I began my very own regimen of HRT contoured to my specific needs. In about two weeks, a shade/cloud literally lifted, and I started to feel like I was 30 years old again!
I have been seeing Dr. Scinta ever since and have never been so grateful. My husband cannot thank her enough! Oh yeah, neither can I…
The younger, more alive,
Karlene"
"My recovery from workouts is as fast as in my 20s. My anxiety has tremendously improved, my focus is back, and hello libido!"
"Everyone warned me about turning 40 as a woman, but I honestly didn’t believe them. Then came 41 and 42, along with weight gain, insomnia, increased anxiety, decreased concentration, and their friend – zero libido.
I tried to lose weight with a nutrition coach. I started Adderall because I thought I had adult ADD, and I was chewing melatonin like candy and praying for a good night’s sleep. None of it worked.
It never occurred to me that it could ALL be my hormones until my husband found an article about the importance of testosterone replacement in women. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Dr. Scinta, and she was a breath of fresh air. For the first time in I don’t know how long, I felt seen and understood. She explained the whole process, answered all of my questions, and was just a delight to work with.
I have been on BHRT for over a year now, and I’m never going back. My recovery from workouts is as fast as in my 20s. My anxiety has tremendously improved, my focus and concentration are back, and hello libido! I tell everyone and anyone who will listen about the benefits of BHRT (including my other healthcare providers) because not enough women are talking about this! I finally feel human again, and I am so grateful.
If you’re pondering whether or not BHRT is for you, just do it. You won’t regret it."
"Within a week of treatment, my energy returned, my mood lifted, and my body felt like my own again."
"My 40s did not feel like the new 30. I was tired all the time, had no energy for my regular exercise, sleepless nights, muscle loss, brain fog, and my hair was falling out. Already struggling with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, experiencing all these symptoms—oh, and reduced sex drive—just seemed like a cruel joke. I felt trapped in a body I didn’t recognize or feel was my own. My emotions were all over the place, and I felt I was barely functioning most of the time.
After the free initial consultation, I met with Dr. Scinta and instantly felt a connection and hope! She explained the advantages of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy and gave me confidence that she could help. Her knowledge about hormones and their relationship to my hypothyroidism was what my primary medical care had missed for years. Deciding on Bioidentical Hormone Therapy was easy.
Within a week of my first treatment, my energy returned, my mood and emotions improved, and my body started to feel less foreign. After a few weeks, I felt like myself again—more vibrant than I had in a long time. My skin and complexion looked more youthful, exercise felt good again, I regained muscle, and my libido was back. My body felt like my own again. Dr. Scinta and her team are so caring and supportive and continue to be an integral part of my health journey. I am forever grateful to have found Dr. Scinta and the Medical Weight Loss team!"
"I can’t imagine my life without hormone therapy—I feel 25 again, with renewed energy and health."
"I feel like my young self again! I began experiencing all the classic symptoms of decreased hormone levels—fatigue, trouble sleeping, unexplained weight gain, brain fog, low libido—and was miserable. I started receiving Bioidentical Hormone Replacement pellets, and it changed my life. I can’t imagine going through the rest of my life without them. I literally feel 25 again, and over the first year of receiving the pellets, I lost 20 pounds! The staff at Dr. Scinta’s office is friendly, accommodating, and professional.
I’m committed to growing old gracefully, and continued hormone replacement will forever be part of my routine. There’s absolutely no reason to suffer from the symptoms of decreased hormone levels. Get a consultation today!"
"Since starting bioidentical hormone pellets, I feel like myself again—with energy, restful sleep, and a revitalized relationship."
"My name is Mary, I am 57 years old and have been receiving Bioidentical Hormone replacement pellets for over two years now – and I can tell you firsthand that it’s the absolute best thing I’ve ever done for myself and my family. When I first started menopause, I tried to push through the mood swings, hot flashes, lack of motivation, and poor sleep. I tried vigorous exercise and natural supplements, but nothing helped. I then decided to visit my gynecologist and go on HRT—the pharmaceutical kind. It helped a little, but not enough. After reading up on pharmaceutical HRT, I was a bit alarmed and decided to go off them. That’s when my research began for a more natural form of HRT, and I found Medical Weight Loss of CNY, Dr. Wendy Scinta, and NP Julie Cannizzo. They have truly changed my life.
If you do your research, you’ll find that HRT actually reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, dementia, and Alzheimer's. So, what could be better than plant-based HRT? When I began getting bioidentical hormone pellets, I felt 100% better in every way. I had more energy, finally got a good night’s sleep, was able to exercise, stopped getting hot flashes, and my physical relationship with my husband improved tremendously. Menopause affects us mentally and physically, and for me, the pellets have been like the 'fountain of youth.' I haven’t felt this good since my 20s. My husband and I have been together since we were 16 years old, dated for ten years, and have been married for 31 years—and our relationship has never been better. Before the pellets, I felt like a flatliner; they completely changed my life.
For what it’s worth, my husband said he doesn’t care what the pellets cost. He told me, 'I’d pay a million dollars every three months! I got my wife back!'”
"The results for me were immediate, and I felt strong for the first time in over a year. I could articulate my thoughts without a struggle."
"When the hot flashes started, my plan was to just deal with them and let them run their course. However, I did not expect the fatigue or the brain fog. I was struggling through my workouts and struggling even more with finding words during presentations and meetings. I met with Dr. Scinta and discussed BHRT pellets as an option for me.
Honestly, I left the office not really sure this would help me and wasn’t convinced bioidentical hormones were what I needed. Until…I received the results of my blood work and found out my testosterone was down to an 8. I realized I needed to do something and scheduled an appointment for the insertion.
The results for me were immediate, and I felt strong for the first time in over a year. I also noticed my brain was not scrambling for words, and I could articulate my thoughts without a struggle. Who knew these symptoms were all interrelated?
I now know when I’m due for another insertion just by listening to my body. When I feel really tired for no obvious reason or the word struggle starts, I know it is time to call the office for a blood draw and schedule the next insertion.
I would recommend this therapy to anyone experiencing symptoms to see if hormone replacement is right for them. The staff at the office are wonderful and always take the time to answer all of your questions and concerns.
"
"Within a week and a half, I knew I made the best decision ever. I began to sleep through the night, awake with energy, and in dry clothes."
"Dr. Scinta and staff are amazing!! Prior to the pellets, I felt like I was slowly losing my mind with no energy to try to find it. The brain fog I was experiencing was affecting my daily living and was starting to become a bit scary for me. I am very good at multitasking, and I was finding it increasingly difficult to remember even the simplest things to do. My energy level was at an all-time low—just getting out of bed was a taxing effort. Lack of sleep was becoming routine, and night sweats were the norm.
I saw the information during a visit for my husband’s weight loss program and thought it couldn’t hurt to give it a try. Reviewing my first set of labs with Dr. Scinta revealed so much that I couldn’t believe I was even functioning on a day-to-day basis.
Within a week and a half after my first pellet insertion, I knew I made the best decision ever. I actually began to sleep through the night, awake with energy, and in dry clothes (the night sweats are completely gone!). My ability to multitask and plan ahead improved greatly, and I felt like a human being again. I will continue to take the pellets for as long as I can and highly recommend and encourage others to give it a try.
"
"Within 48 hours, my hot flashes subsided, my sleep improved, and after a month, my energy soared. I feel like I did in my 30s—BHRT has been life-changing!"
"At 48, I started to notice "brain fog," hot flashes, trouble resting at night, night sweats, restlessness, and increased aches and pains. People kept telling me, "This is just part of getting old." I began thinking that people give up when they experience these life-changing symptoms. I wasn’t accepting that and was determined to turn the negative into a positive—40 is the new 30, and 50 is the new 40.
I did my due diligence and researched the pros and cons of BHRT. I talked to a couple of people who were already on BHRT to hear about their experiences. I decided to try it! Best decision I’ve ever made. Immediately (within 48 hours), the hot flashes subsided, my sleep patterns became more consistent, and my moodiness improved.
After about a month, I saw an amazing improvement in my energy level and relief from the aches and pains. My workouts improved, my workdays didn’t feel so long, and overall I felt more like I did in my 30s. I have now been on BHRT for over a year, and I can’t imagine life without it."
"Within weeks of BHRT, my hot flashes and brain fog were gone, my focus returned, and even my libido! I feel amazing at 57—this therapy gave me my life back!"
"Here they are—all the verbs that described my life: hot flashing, brain foggy, irritable, insomniac, with no libido, no ability to concentrate, and zero focus. (My poor husband!) Then I found Dr. Scinta’s office and her amazing staff who saved me (and him) from a future of crankiness, forgetfulness, and a sexless life.
From the first blood draw, they measured everything, and it became OBVIOUS why I had been feeling so terrible. After my first pellet insertion, about two nights later, I started sleeping really well. I can’t explain why, but I just was.
In about 3-4 weeks, I felt so much better—no more hot flashes or night sweats. I could actually think, concentrate, and focus. Believe it or not, about two months in, my libido came back! Let’s just say my husband is no longer "my poor husband." I had my second pellet placed about 3.5 months after the first, and I feel amazing. I look great, and I feel wonderful.
The only downside is that my insurance doesn’t cover the therapy, but I feel so great that I don’t care. I’ll keep working and paying for it myself—it’s absolutely worth it. I’m 57 (turning 58 soon). I play tennis, golf, work 65-80 hours a week, and I look fantastic. My son even told me the other day, “You don’t look close to 60, Mom.”
If you have any of the symptoms I described, stop suffering. We’re so lucky to have Dr. Scinta’s office nearby. Give them a call and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK! I did, and I’ll never look back.

"BHRT has been a game-changer in my life, reducing brain fog and boosting my energy and focus."
"I recently underwent BHRT treatment with MWL, and the positive impact it has had on my well-being is truly remarkable. From the moment I walked through the door, the team at MWL exuded professionalism and genuine care. Their expertise and commitment to providing personalized healthcare were evident throughout the entire process.
The BHRT treatment, specifically tailored to my needs, has been a game-changer in my life. The most noticeable improvements have been the reduction in brain fog and increased energy levels and focus. Dr. Scinta thoroughly explains the treatment process, potential side effects, and expected benefits.
I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a holistic approach. My experience with MWL has not only improved my physical health but has also positively impacted my mental well-being, providing me with a renewed sense of vitality and happiness."
"After three years of hormone pellet therapy, my bone density increased, and I gained more energy and better moods. It’s been a life-changing experience."
"My journey to hormone therapy has been a long one with several failures. Many years of serious illness had drained my testosterone and my ability to replace much of it. My bone density was going in the wrong direction for over 15 years.
When I was 55, my wife convinced me to see Dr. Scinta and get educated on hormone pellet therapy. That decision changed everything for me. I’ve been on it for five years now, and I can’t imagine not 'getting my pellets.'
I’ve experienced all the benefits we heard about, such as increased energy and better moods. The most shocking thing is that after three years of pellet therapy, my bone density increased! The thought of that happening never crossed my mind. The doctor who tracks my bone density was just as surprised as I was.
Dr. Scinta’s hormone replacement team makes this as easy as possible and pain-free. A simple blood test, and you’ll be on your way to getting off the couch. Typically, I feel the pellets start working in a week or two, and I’ve found that one treatment lasts approximately five months. I strongly encourage all men out there who need help with low T to give this a try. You won’t regret it, I’m positive. It’s a guarantee your wife will be happy too!"
"At 40 and 41, I’ve never felt better in my life—my energy, mood, and sex drive are like they were in my early 20s, thanks to BHRT."
"My name is Nate, and I have been doing BHRT for 18 months now. I have always been into health and wellness, and I have tried every single thing under the sun to give myself that little extra edge in the gym and in life. My job is very physical, my hobbies are all physical, and I generally lead an extremely active lifestyle.
Once I got into my mid-30s, I started to notice a dramatic shift in my energy level and mood. I noticed that my body was getting a little softer in spite of always hitting it hard at the gym. It came on slowly at first, but once I got into my late-30s, I felt horrible all the time. Exhausted from sun up to sun down, I went to doctor after doctor, and they kept telling me that I was fine and I just needed to slow down. For three full years, I felt hopeless.
I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and was put on a CPAP machine. Then a friend told me about BHRT and Dr. Scinta. I immediately set up a consultation and found out that my testosterone levels were only 270! As an active, fit man in my late-30s, this was astonishing to me. I am someone who eats healthy and works hard. I have competed in two bodybuilding shows and multiple other athletic competitions.
After my first treatment, I expected some type of placebo effect and figured I wouldn’t really notice the difference. I can honestly say, at 40 and 41 years old, I have never felt better in my entire life. My mood, my energy, my sex drive, and my appetite for life are all like they were in my early 20s. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s not. I cannot recommend BHRT enough. I tell every single person I know about it."
"I had very low energy, lethargy, and a sense of hopelessness. After treatment, I’m full of energy, think clearly, and my blood pressure dropped. My outlook on life is completely improved."
"I’ll be honest; I was a little skeptical before receiving hormone replacement therapy, but it is one of the best investments that I have ever made. I say it’s an investment because it’s an investment in myself.
Prior to receiving my first testosterone treatment, I had very low energy, lethargy, a sense of hopelessness, and every year I found it harder and harder to keep the weight off. Then, lo and behold, I stumbled upon Dr. Scinta, and it has completely turned my life around.
I am full of energy. I have clear thinking. My blood pressure even went down considerably. The feeling of melancholy that I once carried with me is now a faint memory. My outlook on life is much improved. The staff at Medical Weight Loss of New York is friendly and very professional. From the ladies at the front office to the staff in the back, each and every one of them treats you with dignity and respect.
If you are skeptical like me and are not sure, believe me when I tell you the results are worth it. Remember, it’s an investment in yourself. Godspeed."
"I received my first testosterone insert at MWL, and after a few weeks, I could feel myself getting back to the old me. I found new motivation at work."
"Over the past 8-9 months, I have been working with Medical Weight Loss of NY in Dewitt to get my testosterone back in balance. As older men, we lose our stored-up testosterone, and I really felt it. I was battling some depression, had a short fuse, and was a little tired most of the time. Women have had hormone injections/supplements for years, and I sure am glad we realize that lots of men need testosterone supplements too.
I received my first testosterone insert at MWL, and after a few weeks, I could feel myself getting back to the old me. I found new motivation at work and have started numerous projects that had gone by the wayside because I was just a little too tired to get them started. I am fortunate that I had a friend of mine who is also involved with some testosterone therapy tell me about it. I started to research it, and boy, am I glad I did.
I couldn’t recommend this any higher. And we are so lucky to have Medical Weight Loss of NY to guide me through the process so that it fits my needs. Thanks, MWL; you’ve really helped me enjoy my empty nester years. Thanks."

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a form of hormone therapy that seeks to return the hormone balance to youthful levels in women and men.
The small hormone pellets are slipped painlessly under the skin through a small incision, typically just above the buttocks. A mild, local anesthetic is used to reduce any discomfort and the procedure takes less than 20 minutes.
The hormone pellets are derived from wild yams. They are all natural, hypoallergenic, and bioidentical, meaning they are an exact replication of hormones that your body makes.
