BioTE Hormone Optimization Therapy

Hormone levels change as we age, causing low mood, poor sleep, fatigue, low libido, and other health issues. Optimizing your hormones may help provide relief from some hormone imbalance symptoms!

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with BioTE pellets is a personalized approach to each patient. It allows patient's body to absorb the right level of hormones at the right time using a delivery method the body can process efficiently.

Pellets are small capsules (about the size of a grain of rice) that contain bioidentical hormones like testosterone and estrogen. A bioidentical hormone is the exact molecular structure of hormones the body produces naturally. They are insterted under the skin, where they then enter the blood stream, and dissolve over several months. BioTE's studies show patients may see the effects of hormone optimization up to four weeks after a pellet insertion!

Research Articles/Case Studies

Testosterone & Estrogen

Women age 20 - 40, lose 50% of their testosterone production yearly

Men age 30 - 70, lose 50% of their testosterone production yearly

Testosterone deficiency symptoms include: muscle weakness, fatigue, low libido, depressed mood, weight gain (especially in the mid-section), insomnia, brain fog, and hair loss

Premenopausal women make their own estradiol & progesterone.

Postmenopausal women are no longer menstruating, thus unable to make their own estrogen or progesterone.

Decline in estrogen leads to a decrease in FSH (hormone that stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs for menstruation) and because of this lack of estrogen, the brain cannot "turn off" the production of FSH

Estrogen deficiency along with an increase in FSH can cause symptoms of fatigue, irregular or absent periods, hot flashes, mood swings, dryness (vaginal, skin, joints, eyes), insomnia, headaches, and anxiety
