As we age, hormone levels naturally decline. These changes can impact energy, mood, sleep, weight, and sexual health for both women and men. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is designed to restore hormones to physiologic levels and help improve overall quality of life.
What Is BioTE® Pellet Therapy?
BioTE® pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement that uses small, plant-derived hormone pellets placed just under the skin. The procedure is quick and performed in the office. Once inserted, the pellets release hormones steadily over several months, helping maintain consistent hormone levels without daily medications.
BioTE® for Women
Women experiencing perimenopause or menopause may notice symptoms such as hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and low libido. BioTE® therapy—often including testosterone and sometimes estrogen—may help support energy, mood, mental clarity, and sexual health when appropriately prescribed and monitored.
BioTE® for Men
Men with age-related testosterone decline may experience low energy, decreased muscle mass, weight gain, reduced libido, and changes in mood or focus. BioTE® testosterone therapy aims to restore testosterone to a healthy range and support vitality, strength, and overall well-being.
Important Considerations
BioTE® pellet therapy is not appropriate for everyone. A thorough medical evaluation, lab testing, and ongoing monitoring are essential. Possible side effects may include acne, fluid retention, hair changes, and mood changes. Treatment should always be individualized.
Final Thoughts
Hormone health plays a key role in how we feel as we age. For some women and men, BioTE® pellet therapy offers a convenient and consistent HRT option when guided by a qualified medical provider. A personalized approach is the foundation of safe and effective hormone therapy.
