Biote Certified Providers are specially trained in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using subcutaneous hormone pellets. These pellets are inserted into the upper buttocks area during an in-office visit, following testing to determine the precise hormone levels needed by each patient. Every treatment is personalized based on a thorough consultation and comprehensive lab work to ensure that the right hormone dosage is tailored to the individual.
Bioidentical hormones, such as those used in Biote’s treatments, closely match the molecular structure of the hormones naturally produced by the body. This allows them to work in harmony with the body’s chemistry.
Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are essential sex hormones that regulate many key functions in both men and women. As we age, hormone production naturally declines, often beginning in the late 20s to early 30s. Women typically experience a notable drop in estrogen and testosterone levels during menopause, while many men experience a similar decrease in testosterone during andropause.
Hormone imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in the bloodstream. Since hormones control many critical processes in the body, even a minor imbalance can have widespread effects. Biote’s hormone therapy is designed to be both safe and effective, with no harmful side effects.
