Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Millions of individuals are impacted by hormone imbalances. Imbalances in our hormones can lead to a myriad of symptoms including fatigue, reduced libido, mood and cognitive changes, difficulty sleeping and weight gain. Balancing hormones can help correct these changes and promote healthier aging.
Bio identical hormones are plant-based hormones that are identical biologically to human hormones. Bioidentical hormones have less side effects than synthetic hormones and have been shown to be safer than synthetic hormones in studies.
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is extremely effective. Implants are placed under the skin in the medical office using a minor skin procedure. The pellets dissolve and release small, physiologic doses of hormones providing optimal therapy lasting 3-4 months for women and 6 months for men.
Pellets contain a natural plant source of estrogen and testosterone. Biote uses a compounding pharmacy which follows strict federal guidelines to compound the estrogen and testosterone utilized in the pellets. There are no known allergies to the pellets.
Hormone Pellet Therapy for Women:
In studies, when compared to conventional hormone replacement therapy, Biote pellets have been shown to be extremely effective for relief of menopausal symptoms, maintenance of bone density, restoration of sleep patterns, improvement in libido, relief of depression, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and improved concentration.
Biote pellet implants have been used to treat migraine and menstrual headaches. It also helps with vaginal dryness, incontinence, urinary urgency and frequency, to name a few. Moreover, hundreds of studies show natural testosterone to be highly PREVENTATIVE against breast cancer, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s dementia.
Hormone Pellet Therapy for Men
Testosterone levels begin to decline in men beginning in their early 30′s. Most men need to be tested around 45 years of age. Symptoms of testosterone deficiency in men include fatigue, irritability, weight gain in the abdomen, decreased muscle mass, lack of mental acuity, loss of libido, and difficulty achieving, or sustaining erection.
Pellet Therapy achieves the sustained levels of testosterone that would be produced by normally functioning testicles. Biote pellet therapy is ideal for men wanting the benefits of a natural hormone, without the drawbacks of a synthetic. Many studies show optimal testosterone levels in men at or above 800 have preventative effects for many disease states such as: cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease and prostate cancer.
Typical injection and transdermal forms of therapy produce “roller coaster” blood levels of testosterone, which can result in mood and energy fluctuations for the patient and are not convenient to use. Rollercoaster levels of hormones do not have the same long term benefits as steady state hormone in the bloodstream.
Our bio-identical hormone pellet method is one of the most widely studied, effective and safest methods of natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) available.
Biote has been a leader in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and natural hormone replacement medical research in the USA for more than a decade.
Dr. Andrea Pfeifer has been trained in Biote bioidentical hormone replacement since 2015 and has been awarded a Legacy Biote Partner designation since 2021. Legacy Biote Partners are awarded this status after reaching a higher level of experience with Biote hormone replacement.
