Bioidentical Hormone Optimization Therapy

BHRT is effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Menopause and perimenopause: Reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.
• Low testosterone in men: Improves energy, libido, and muscle mass.
• Thyroid and adrenal disorders: Restores energy levels, metabolism, and stress response.
• Bone density loss: Helps combat osteoporosis by replenishing essential hormones.
• Insulin resistance: Supports blood sugar regulation and weight management.
• Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia: Alleviates pain, fatigue, and brain fog.
• Mood disorders: Reduces anxiety, irritability, and depression caused by hormonal fluctuations.

BHRT uses hormones that are structurally identical to those your body naturally produces, offering a more natural approach with fewer side effects. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones integrate seamlessly into your body’s systems, providing targeted relief for symptoms while supporting overall health and well-being.

BHRT can be delivered in several forms, depending on your needs and preferences:

• Pellets: Tiny hormone pellets inserted under the skin that release hormones steadily over time.
• Creams or gels: Applied topically for transdermal absorption.
• Patches: Worn on the skin to provide a consistent hormone dose.
• Injections or oral capsules: Used as prescribed to deliver precise dosages. Our specialists will recommend the best method based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

Biote is a leading method of delivering BHRT through small pellets placed beneath the skin. These pellets release a steady, consistent stream of hormones over time, ensuring stable hormone levels without the fluctuations often associated with other delivery methods. Biote is highly effective for both men and women, providing long-lasting symptom relief.

BHRT is suitable for both men and women experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, low libido, weight gain, sleep disturbances, or mood swings. It is particularly beneficial for individuals going through menopause, perimenopause, or andropause (male menopause) and for those with conditions like thyroid dysfunction, osteoporosis, or insulin resistance. A consultation with our specialists will determine if BHRT is right for you.

Most patients begin to notice improvements in symptoms within a few weeks of starting BHRT. However, full benefits may take up to three months as your body adjusts to the therapy. Regular follow-ups and hormone level monitoring ensure the treatment is optimized for your needs.

While BHRT is generally safe and well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects, such as bloating, fatigue, or changes in mood during the adjustment period. These effects are typically temporary and can be managed by adjusting the dosage. Our team carefully monitors your progress to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation and hormone testing to assess your current levels. Based on your results and symptoms, our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and adjust your therapy as necessary.
