Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
One of the most important regulatory systems embedded in our body’s apparatus is our portfolio of hormones. Hormones act as messengers that are designed to interact with specific target cells and organs and provoke a change or result. Hormones are secreted directly into our blood stream then carried to organs and tissues in the body to exert their function.
Some of the functions of hormones are:
- Cognition function and mood
- Development and growth in the body
- Digestion and metabolism of food material
- Maintenance of body temperature and thirst
- Reproductive growth and health
The state of our health is directly related to the state of our hormones. Because it take very low levels of hormones to bring about major changes in our body, hormones are secreted in microscopic amounts. Either a very slight excess of hormone secretion or the slightest deficiency can lead to disease states.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy FAQs
What are Bio-Identical Hormones?
Bio-identical means that the hormone is an exact molecular match of your depleted hormones. It is a plant derived (plant steroid found in soy and wild yams) hormone which is natural and your body cannot tell the difference. Therefore, it functions much better than synthetic forms.
How often will I need to have pellets inserted?
On average a woman may need 2 or 3 insertions a year to give you consistent hormone levels without the spikes seen with oral therapy.
On average men may need 2 insertions a year to give consistent Testosterone replacement.
Why Biote?
BioTe is a leading innovator in precision and preventative health care. Biote has translated over 80 years of scientific insight into medical approaches that identify and address imbalances in the production of hormones that occur as the body ages.
Biote has a rigorous curriculum and clinical training program where one becomes certified in BHRT. Biote works with FDA-Registered facilities that adhere to stringent quality control in manufacturing of the pellets.
What is subcutaneous pellet hormone therapy?
These pellets are about the size of a grain of rice. They are made of pure Bio identical hormones estradiol and testosterone. They are placed painlessly beneath the skin of the hip.
How long has hormone pellet therapy been around?
Many decades. In 1939 the first pellet procedure was performed. In 1941 and 1949 hormone pellet therapy was published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology by two separate physicians stating that “because the hormones were released on a continual basis they more clearly reflected the physiologic action of the hormones produced by the ovary”
BioTe medical has specifically looked at the parameters of effectiveness, safety, dose, accuracy, purity, and potency of each pellet.
What's the first step?
Contact us for your consultation. During your consultation, we will perform a detailed examination. You will be given lab work to evaluate your hormone levels and look for other diseases that may be causing your symptoms. A follow-up appointment will be made to review your results. Once Laura has determined that you are a candidate for BHRT via pellets, the insertion can be done at that time or scheduled for another day.
