Hormone Therapy
HORMONE THERAPY
As we age, we experience a natural decrease in our hormone levels, leading to reduced sexual desire, fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, cognitive decline, muscle and joint discomfort, and degenerative medical conditions.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) corrects hormone imbalance by replacing your body’s hormones with the exact form it needs for optimal function. This allows you to look, feel, and function at your best.
We prescribe many forms of hormone therapy including topical cream, injections, and pellets. The hormones are absorbed as the body needs them, optimizing hormone levels. Most patients report relief as early as four weeks or less.

Frequently Asked Questions
In both men and women, hormone imbalances start at age 30, and by age 50 we are all functioning with a 50% decrease in our hormone levels compared to the levels we had in our youth. By hormones, we are referring not only to our sex hormones such as testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen, but also the hormones involved in our hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis such as cortisol and growth hormones. Our genetics and lifestyle both play key roles, but at some point our organs will not produce the hormones we need to age optimally.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for BHRT?
Extensive lab work is done prior to treatment to analyze your body’s specific needs and to discover if BHRT is a right for you.
How does BHRT pellet therapy work?
We prescribe Biote pellets. They are inserted every 4-5 months with your results closely monitored by our medical team. They are about the size of a grain of rice and inserted under the skin.
