          Biote Hormone Pellets for Women & Men

          What is the Goal of Hormone Optimization Therapy?

          Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may offer relief for many common and debilitating symptoms that medical providers often overlook. Some of these symptoms include:

          • Exhaustion
          • Stress
          • Foggy thinking
          • Weight gain
          • Sleep disturbances
          • And so much more

          Often, people with symptoms like these are suffering from hormonal imbalance. These ailments may be managed by getting to the root cause of these complex conditions and returning the patient to a state of hormonal balance. BHRT may be a simple method for correcting these complex issues through hormone optimization.

          What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellet Therapy?

          Bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy is a personalized approach to hormone replacement. It allows a 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 or estrogen. A bioidentical hormone is the exact molecular structure of hormones the body produces naturally.

          They are inserted under the skin, where hormones enter the bloodstream as they dissolve over several months. Our studies show that patients may see the effects of hormone optimization up to four weeks after a pellet insertion. Everyone is unique and some people may feel the effects immediately, while others may take up to two or more pellet insertions before they feel full effects.

          Hormones delivered by pellet therapy bypass the liver, do not affect clotting factors, do not increase the risk of thrombosis, and avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels some patients may experience. Biote bioidentical hormone pellets are made from soy or the yam plant to create estradiol and/or testosterone molecules, unlike synthetic hormones, which are made from animal parts or urine and have a different molecular structure than what the body produces.

          How Can a Patient Get Started with BHRT?

          Schedule an office visit to test your current hormone levels. Based on a comprehensive consultation and extensive lab work, our providers will determine candidacy for the Biote Method. Patients will schedule a quick follow-up appointment to review their results and, when appropriate, for pellet therapy insertion.

          What Can a Patient Expect from BHRT?

          As each patient’s symptoms are unique, so is each patient’s path to hormone optimization. Some patients report some relief in as soon as four weeks, but full hormone optimization may take up to six months. Many report feeling more benefits after the second insertion. Our hormone optimization therapy will be customized to balance each patient’s hormones and fit their specific needs.

          Hormonal Imbalance in Women

          For women, having one’s hormones checked regularly will reveal whether hormones are optimized. This may help avoid hormonal imbalance in a woman’s endocrine system. The good news is that Biote’s Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may help balance female hormones.

          What Causes Hormone Imbalances in Women?

          Hormone imbalance in women can occur as part of the aging process and may reflect genetic predispositions for certain conditions. However, hormone balance or imbalance can also be affected by the foods we eat, the exercise we get, and the amount of stress we experience.

          What Is the Endocrine System?

          When a hormonal imbalance in a woman’s endocrine system occurs, it can cause a variety of problems. The endocrine system is a series of glands that produce and disseminate hormones throughout the body. A woman’s hormones do much more than just regulate mood and sexuality—they can determine whether an individual may be at risk for elevated blood sugar, decreased bone density, and thyroid problems.

          What Conditions Can Hormone Imbalance Cause?

          When a female has a hormone imbalance in their endocrine system, they can develop symptoms that range from subtle to debilitating. This means there is either too much or too little of a woman’s hormones being produced somewhere within the endocrine system. Symptoms of a hormonal imbalance in women may include:

          • Heavy, irregular, or uncomfortable periods
          • Decreased bone density
          • Hot flashes and night sweats
          • Vaginal dryness
          • Breast tenderness
          • Indigestion
          • Constipation or diarrhea

          How Does Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Replacement Work?

          WStudies have shown that one of the most effective methods of regaining hormonal balance is through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) pellets. Pellets can be inserted in a few minutes. Typically, within four to six weeks after a pellet insertion, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) begins to work. But every woman is different, and some may require additional insertions for her body to dial in and experience the best results. The pellets supply bioidentical hormones that match those produced by the body and last up to three to six months.

          Hormonal Imbalance in Men

          Male hormones regulate bodily functions and processes in men. When these hormones are imbalanced, they can have serious effects on the body. Learn more about the symptoms of hormone imbalance in men below.

          What are the Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Men?

          Ranging from mild to severe, the symptoms of an imbalance in male hormones are frustrating and can affect everyday life. Some of the symptoms of hormone imbalance in men may include:

          • Low energy
          • Inability to sleep
          • Weight gain
          • Brain fog
          • Inability to maintain muscle mass
          • Low mood
          • Anxiousness
          • Acne
          • Unstable blood suga

          Reproductive Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance in Men

          • Low libido
          • A lack of interest in sexual activity
          • Low self-esteem

          What Male Hormone Imbalance Therapies Exist?

          Patients can choose three common paths for a course of medical treatment for a hormonal imbalance in men. The first is doing nothing to solve your patient’s problems and hoping that they will feel better. The second is going the conventional medicine route and prescribing medication after medication to treat their symptoms. The third is to consider the perspective of preventative medicine by optimizing hormones with the Biote Method.

          What Therapy Does Biote Use to Optimize Male Hormones?

          Patients have reported that one path to the relief of their hormone imbalance symptoms is through bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT. Biote Certified Providers use pellets, which can be inserted during an office visit in only a few minutes. Within up to two to four weeks after pellet insertion, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may begin to relieve some symptoms of hormonal imbalance in men. Many report feeling the full benefits of BHRT after their second insertion.
