Bioidentical hormones are derived from a natural plant source and professionally compounded to be biologically identical to the human form of estradiol and testosterone. The body is given what it can no longer produce.
Studies have shown, balanced hormones are necessary for good health and disease prevention for women and men as we age.
WHY CONSIDER BIOTE?
Our hormone levels naturally decrease as we age, causing many symptoms that can affect the quality of our lives. A woman’s hormone levels may start dropping as early as age 30, or after hysterectomy surgery. Men may notice hormone imbalance symptoms starting at age 40, with significant drops each year. If you experience any of the symptoms below, you may be a good candidate for BioTE hormone replacement therapy.

YOUR BIOTE PROCEDURE
People interested in BioTE hormone replacement pellet therapy need to schedule a personal consultation to determine if they are a good candidate. A comprehensive bloodwork analysis is also required to determine proper hormone levels and to calculate the proper dosage for each individual.
The pellet insertion process is a quick and painless procedure that is done in our office under local anesthesia. The size of the pellet is comparable to a grain of rice and is placed just under the skin, usually in the upper buttock area.
