With ages comes wisdom and experience, as they say. With age also comes some not-so-fun aging processes, such as grey hair, lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and the depletion of certain hormones circulating through our bodies. Both men and women can experience a reduction in hormones, leading to an imbalance in the body. This imbalance creates unwanted side effects, including:
- Fatigue
- Lack of energy
- Sleeping difficulties
- Reduced Mental Focus
- Impaired Memory⠀
- Low Sex Drive and Reduced Performance ⠀
- Mood Swings
- Anxiety and Depression⠀
- Weight Gain and Increased Fat Around Mid-Section⠀
- Inability to Lose Weight with Exercise and a Healthy Diet
- Reduced Muscle Strength⠀
- Joint Aches and Pain⠀
- Hot Flashes
- Night Sweats
- Hair Loss
- Skin Issues
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of these symptoms, you might be suffering from a hormone imbalance.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) replaces hormones in the body. BHRT utilizes hormone replacements that represent exact replicas of the hormones naturally found in the body. This type of hormone replacement helps to bring the body back into balance. It promotes desired effects without some of the adverse side effects synthetic hormones can cause.
Why was bioidentical hormone replacement therapy created?
BHRT was initially developed to support women with hormone replacement therapy during menopause. These women experienced unwanted side effects from synthetic hormones, and so bioidentical hormones were created. Bioidentical hormones are derived from natural sources, which helps to decrease the unwanted side effects described.
What are bioidentical hormones made from?
Many hormone therapies are made from animal urine or synthetic ingredients. Bio-identical hormones are made from natural plant proteins. The plant proteins are natural extracts that work safely and effectively in your body; they work similarly to how your body’s natural hormones work.
Who is a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
Individuals who experience any of the symptoms above might be a candidate for BHRT. The best way to assess if you’re a BHRT candidate is to consider your current state of physical and emotional well-being. Do you have symptoms without a root source identified? If so, then hormonal imbalances might be the culprit.
How does a hormonal imbalance impact women?
Hormonal imbalances in women can cause unwanted physical and emotional changes. Hormone therapy to support women with aging has been around for decades. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women focuses on relieving the source of symptom problems vs. just the symptoms themselves. The most common time women seek BHRT is during the stages of menopause. However, BHRT may help any female who is dealing with hormonal imbalance.
How does a hormonal imbalance impact men?
Similar to women, hormonal imbalances in men can cause unwanted physical and emotional changes. Hormone imbalance is common as we age. However, men can face hormonal imbalances at any age. Hypogonadism, for example, can occur at any age and cause a hormonal imbalance in men.
How long does someone need BHRT?
Some individuals need BHRT for the rest of their lives to maintain hormonal balance. Others might only need BHRT for a few months or years. The underlying cause and nature of the hormone imbalance dictate the length of time someone needs BHRT. BHRT can have lasting effects with the right balance and maintenance plan.

Individuals who use BioTE experience positive results—thousands of people have felt better and achieved hormonal balance with BioTE. BioTE is proven to provide significant results for the conditions listed above, such as hair loss, loss of libido, skin issues, sleep disturbances, and weight gain.
How is BioTE treatment administered?
BioTE providers provide relief from the many symptoms men and women suffering from hormone imbalance often experience. BioTE uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy pellets. The BioTE pellet therapy method is the preferred choice among medical providers.
The bioidentical estrogen and testosterone pellets are inserted subcutaneously and release a continuous stream of hormones in the body. As a result, any needed hormone required by your body will be readily available. You may receive up to two pellet insertions per year to maintain optimal hormone levels. The pellets eventually dissolve and are absorbed by the body, leaving not a trace behind.
How long does it take to feel relief after BHRT pellet insertion?
Many report symptom relief in as little as four weeks, with optimal relief occurring up to six months after insertion. Each dose of pellet therapy is customized by the BioTE provider to meet the patient’s needs based on extensive lab work. The lab work is analyzed to determine the level of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy required. With time, the pellets dissolve and are absorbed by the body.
What lab work is required prior to BioTE BHRT?
Extensive blood work is required to test hormone levels. The lab work results will determine if a candidate is a good fit for BHRT pellet therapy. The certified BioTE provider will review the lab work and discuss the results with you prior to proceeding with treatment.
