Changes in your hormone levels can cause unwanted symptoms such as fatigue, depression, insomnia, hot flashes and mood changes. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is used to treat symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances. BHRTs are hormones that are structurally identical to that found in the human body and are derived from a natural source.

​

Your hormones play a major role in a surprising number of your body’s processes and functions. Unfortunately, as we get older, our bodies tend to produce fewer hormones than they did when we were younger. That’s true for both women and men. And as a result, we can wind up with some pretty unpleasant symptoms. The good news is, hormone replacement therapy can help replenish our hormones, restoring natural levels of these important chemicals to relieve symptoms and support our bodies’ normal functions. And for many people considering HRT, BioTE® hormone replacement therapy is the best treatment option. Here’s how it could help you.

WHAT IS BIOTE?​

​

BioTE is a hormone replacement treatment that uses pellets, tiny cylindrical-shaped supplements that are inserted under your skin. The pellets release precise doses of hormones over time, so your body receives a steady stream of hormones for optimal function. The time-release aspect of BioTE pellets means hormones are delivered and distributed in a manner similar to the way your body distributes the hormones it produces naturally, which means there’s a far lower risk of side effects.

BioTE uses bioidentical hormones, synthetic hormones that have the same chemical structures as naturally produced hormones. Bioidentical hormones are processed by your body and eliminated in the same way as natural hormones for better effects and fewer risks. The tiny implant is inserted under your skin and replaced every three to six months, depending on your specific needs. Implant placement is performed right in the office in just a few minutes using a local anesthetic. Both estrogen and testosterone implants are available.
